You Should Be a Film Writer

You don't just create compelling stories, you see them as clearly as a movie in your mind. You have a knack for details and dialogue. You can really make a character come to life. Chances are, you enjoy creating all types of stories. The joy is in the storytelling. And nothing would please you more than millions of people seeing your story on the big screen!

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

Hurrah?

Probably hurrah, yes. Though writing anything at this point would be a plus.

The one bad thing about copied DVDs people have kindly made for you is that you can't screencap them, or I don't know how to. If so, I would naturally have iconned Damien looking mock-yearningly at Henry's nephew for, like, five whole minutes. And also Dave bending right over Damien's legs/lap to get something from under his desk. Because omg. I'm contenting myself with how hurt Damien looked when the nephew suggested his style was dated. And missing having tiniago here to squee with :'(

But I watched Green Wing, finally. I watched the Green Wing with Guy in the coats. Guy crying in the coats. Guy with his broad chest and leaning right over Sue White and staring into her face and crying and screaming and offering the sex and omg. I laughed in the face of Guy!het once. No more. It is matched only slightly by him shamelessly, disregardingly using his tragic past to seduce a blond nurse with big teeth (from Man Stroke Woman). And putting his face very very beautifully close to Caroline's while he cautions her about using locks.

He just needs to have sex with everyone.

The spoilers (I didn't mean to, but yes) for next season are making me boggle. Boggle, I say. It is very kind of the universe to put it on so close to my birthday. Thank you universe. And cheers for the American Gothic DVDs, as well.

You can cap .avi files using virtualdub which is free download. People seem to have trouble with it, but it works okay for me. You just open a file, often the sound is out of synch, but for capping that doesn't matter. Then find the cap you want, and ctrl-1 will copy it, so that you can paste it into photoshop/paint/whatever. Yes.

:) You are kind and good. And you and I and tiniago need to do a Drop the Dead Donkey con. Yes.

gah I'm trying so hard to stay away from GW spoilers!
I think I pretty much ship Guy with anyone. Love him so much. I think I remember even slashing him with Martin although that was before I found out they were actually related!

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

I was trying. I was trying so hard, but then there was an article, and the word 'spoilers' not emboldened or capitalled or anything, and then some TV guides, and yes. I failed. Ah well.

I am shipping Guy with furniture at the moment. Furniture and trees and shirts. He is brilliance incarnate. And I ship him with Martin even though they are related ;) Just saw the spike-sucking ep last night - omg 8O

I think I'm acutally shipping Guy with Sue at the moment. The coatroom thing and the Sue wrapping her legs around him and telling him it was her face he saw- ha, that set me off. I have never seen these 5 episdoes- only ever after this one and so i've spent all week watching 'em- hooray!! Mac I only ever ship with Caroline, but hee, I can SEE why people ship Mac and Guy, I can SEE it!

It is very kind of the universe to put it on so close to my birthday. Thank you universe.

It isn't kind of the universe at to put it on the very next day after I leave for a holiday. :( Still I have strict orders for my friend to tape it for me!

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

I think I'm shipping him with everyone (and everything) at the moment. Although possibly if I hadn't still failed to see this leg-wrapping incident I would be more Guy/Sue-ly inclined. Roll on, DVD release date. I'm shipping Guy and Mac less this time, for some reason. Probably because he is just too rubbish for the glory of Guy. I await the glorious episodes of Beautiful Rivalry and Friendship in the week to come :)

Eek. Bad universe. Though I'm still grateful. Don't ever change!

[ginnystar.livejournal.com]

Guy the Glorious! He really is too awesome to be true. :D

[tiniago.livejournal.com]

*clings* Omg! *more clinging*

I think it's been a few years since I watched DtDD, and I was watching it, shaming as it is to admit, first and foremost from an "OMG! Damien should marry ME!!" perspective. Thus I missed all the indications that Damien is the rentboy of the universe. You are kind and good for reporting them to me.

Also, you, me and jekesta should organise a DtDD con! Wouldn't that be ace? It could be just watching episodes and having writing challenges. It would be a thinly veiled attempt to get up a hefty back catalogue of DtDD slash. But also there would be cake.

Sue and Guy are my GW otp. Strange but true. Also, I seem to have inexplicably developed an aversion to Mac during the hiatus. I don't know why, I loved him all through the series and he hasn't done anything since to offend me. Maybe it's his skinniness. But anyway, back to Guy and Sue, they are perfect and I LOVE them. The scene in the coats! In my top ten for relationships depicted on television! It is wonderful!

Also, is it her he's calling at the end of the episode, do you think? The way he says "Susie? Babe?" with his face all soft and hopeful and lit up? Why else would the character be called Susie? It must be!

I am manfully avoiding spoilers. Manfully, I say.

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

Omg. YOU WIN AT TIMING. YOU WIN AT IDEAS OF BRILLIANCE. YOU WIN AT EVERYTHING.

::loves you::

DtDD con. I would die of happiness. Seriously. We would need first-aid kits and such. Thinly veiled attempts and cake ARE ALL I NEED IN A CON. Also I could meet you. And see Jekesta again. And have the BEST TIME EVER. We must take this plan to the people. By which I mean Jekesta.

I love Damien more than anything, but Series One Damien at least is making me think a relationship with him would be a general disaster. I'm just up to the episode where he says after a big story 'sex is an anticlimax', to a pretty fellow reporter. Which naturally makes me want to make an icon of him saying 'Damien: Sex is an anticlimax'. But still. I AM MOSTLY STUNNED BY THE GAY. Floored by it. As in it keeps throwing me to the floor and having its way with me. Except that at the moment I keep getting a beautiful vibe from him and Alex. WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME? HET, EVERYWHERE, HET!

My capslock fever seems to be striking again.

I tried to avoid spoilers. But someone on the comm linked to an article, and to be fair she did say 'spoilers', but not in big letters or a prominent position or anything, and yes. Spoiled. Then I bought a magazine that had an article in it with a beautiful picture, and it had vague spoilers, and I wish I was 'clean', but yes. Boggling.

I can see the Guy/Sue. Mostly I just want to ship him with everyone at the moment now though. Oddly enough, I like Mac a bit better this time, though he still annoys me and I don't know why people are mad for him, mad I say. And Martin's annoying me more too ::awaits backlash:: But I love Guy MORE THAN EVER, MY LOVE WILL NEVER DIE, HE IS TOO TOO PRETTY. Sue is a bit too mad for me to properly ship with people. And talks about Mac too much. But suddenly Mac is too emotionally distant for Guy as well and I am all out of OTP. But ooh, 'Susie'! I assumed it was the nurse with the 'big teeth' ('My mother died when I was born/you remind me of her actually' IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO WRONG), but - possibilities. But who was the man with the Derbyshire heritage? Hmmm. This may call for completely unfounded and implausible background!fic.

In conclusion - ::hugs you:: Hello! :D

[tiniago.livejournal.com]

Ooh. Hmmm. DtDD con is a genius idea. OTOH, I have a massive phobia about meeting internet people. Massive. Massive. OTOOH, it is a bit lame that we live in next-door cities (both at uni AND at home! you're from near Wakefield, right? I'm from Hull!) and have never met. Hmmm.

Have you seen the episodes where he starts sleeping with, um, actually possibly Angela off GW, and they have sex on bungee jumps and things and he's all pale and tentative and asks Dave for advice and Dave is all lovingly concerned OMG. He is sich a relationship disaster area, it is true.

Damien/Alex! It had not occurred to me at the time but Alex is great and deserves the love. Although Alex/Helen might be the coolest. Or even Alex/Henry, sort of, only she is too good for Henry but if he were younger maybe. But yes, Damien basically needs to be whipped and reined in and licked all over. But oh, he also needs someone to be waiting for him in the car to pick him up after he's filmed one of his stories late at night when it's cold, and someone to watch his news reports with him and try to gently explore any complex political issues arising from them and thus subtly lead him to a more mature understanding and condemnation of his sensationalist ways, and someone to snuggle with him in his camouflage-themed bedroom in the morning, and to tell him not to listen to his bitch mother and that someone should be me.

Omg, Damien is a woobie.

I really, really wanted a fic post- ep 9 about Guy trying to adjust to the news, and being all PTSD-y about the SEX WITH HIS MOTHER bit, and trying to get used to the fact that Caroline's with Mac now (because I still ship Caroline and Mac more than either of them with anyone else), and also having to deal with Martin being all weird and tender and brotherly, because Martin is like that and despite his general patheticness has a few dogged convictions of decency and that's one of them. And it makes Guy enraged and extra vicious and almost helplessly frustrated and upset and vulnerable and eee. Cuteness!

That big-teethed nurse is the physio Mac goes out with later, I think. Emily. So it can't be her. I think it is Sue! Which is omgsocute! She clearly has sanity hiding there somewhere and omg they are perfect. There should be some scene where Guy grabs her wrists and yells at her to stop obsessing about Mac, stupid cow, because I'm here, Guy Secretan, the one and only, much better than some stupid-haired girly-man, so shut your trap and get into bed! And Sue looks at him with fire in her eyes and they have bitey scratchy sex, omg! Sue could totally heal him post-incest debacle simply by refusing to have any sympathy for him at all. Awwww. Their love is so mtb.

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

You suggested it! I only squeed helplessly in reaction! It's not like I'm going to kidnap you. That's a whole different kind of con.

Hull? Really? Omgsoclose!

I keep getting my Damien canon mixed up. Sometimes I think I remember him being magically revealed to be a virgin - sometimes I'm sure there was an episode about how he lost his virginity on a runway, or in a zoo, or somewhere else, or possibly all three. But, eeee, loving sex advice! Yet ANOTHER scene-I-need-to-see to be checked off, besides potholing and flour. And bitch-mother, naturally. And the one where he finally marries you!!!

Damien/Alex is the greatest. She is all concerned with morals, and he is calmly without them, and both are dedicated to the news in their own way and being held back by their superiors. They should have sex in store cupboards. And Alex's mum won't leave her alone, and I'm sure I'll soon be able to compare Damien's relationship with his mum to that aswell. Also, there was totally an episode about Alex's ex-husband wherein Damien talked about how handsome he was, and the ex-husband blatantly got turned on when Alex mentioned Damien in bed. Which means something. I'm going to make icons, I think. Yes.

I am interested to see how they handle the whole incest thing in the show. So far, it seems like they - aren't. But what do I know. Maybe that fic will come! Maybe there'll be post-episode fics about Guy in his room stressing out and drinking brandy and wanting to call 'Susie' again.

enraged and extra vicious and almost helplessly frustrated...::falls down::

Mac needs to calmly comfort Guy in changing rooms, obviously-but-not-sentimentely-just-ALWAYS-THERE-ly. Possibly he can gang up with Sue. Or tag-team. GUY NEEDS HEALING SEX. And more sexy shirts. Trust me. It'll be great.

I'm a tiny bit exhausted and have to go to gran's at some ludicrous hour tomorrow morning and the clocks ganged up on me and ATE ONE OF MY HOURS, but I want to register YESNESS for the dtdd con. VERY GREAT YESNESS. I fear that if there are the three of us there will be very little fic written by anyone who is not you. But you are good at fic, and I can make cake and tiniago can inspire you and this would be pleasant.

Also Damien was a virgin until Angela out of gw takes him to the runway and they have much much sex. Except he knows Dave, so he's clearly not an actual virgin, just a het virgin. Probably.

Also dtdd is THE BEST THING EVER and it is SINFUL that there is not more squee for it ON MY FLIST. Yes.

::GLOVES YOU::

[girlofprey.livejournal.com]

:) Hello. My hour disappeared too! I was all '...how did you do that, Christian???' (Christian the laptop).

DtDD con would probably not be now, if tiniago should even agree. Even though I do have four weeks of freedom. But VERY GREAT YESNESS FOREVER. I feel that it is unfair I would be the only one to write the fic, like a performing monkey, or seal, but Damien is gay for everyone and I have bunnies up the ya-ya, so probably it would still work! And you have a whole FIVE MORE SERIES of squee to come, if Damien continues to be as gay, UNFAILINGLY GAY, as he is now, and I can't imagine that not being true. UNFAILINGLY.

::Licks you::
