My dearest K Z
Words cannot express how simply appalled I am at the pettiness of my fellow readers.
This is what they want you to include in your m/m story:
1. the setting
It was a tie again! This time between a nudist colony and a customs/immigration check point. Now some would take that to mean the setting is therefore a security check point into a nudist colony, but surely… Really, but… I am so sorry, K Z, however, the impartial adjudicator (otherwise known as Queen Bitch) has determined that it MUST be a combination of the two. My condolences. *snicker*
2. a cultural idiom to be included in the story
‘There are were-kangas among us.’ So sayeth the High Priestess Tam, and so shall it always be known. 
I really need to watch Tank Girl again.
3. a secondary character
The twinkiest twink you’ll ever meet. *Think The Beach Boys’ Little Deuce Coupe. It’ll be a #1 hit I tell ya.* 
4. a conflict
Fruit. Fruit? Seriously?? Meanies.
5. a phrase/object/etc to be mentioned in the story somewhere
‘Live Long and Prosper.’ *complete with proper hand sign* Not only are there were-kangas, but there are obviously Trekkies among us. *I’m so proud.*
Romantic futuristic crime fantasy.
May the Muse be with you.
Kris + Books = Good. *Sometimes*. 
There is a god. Hallelujah! Were-kangas live on. And Trek. Oh yeah. I am looking forward to the new movie because baby Kirk is just too delicious. Can’t wait to read this one KZ. I’m sure it will be an expression of your usual brilliance. *snicker*
Do you think we may be rubbing it in a little too much, Tam?? *gigglesnort*Oh, and Chris Pine (aka Baby Kirk) is srsly nommy!
You’re all going to burn in hell. The old Trekkie in me might spare you…but I doubt it.
Oh man, I got off easy. My condolences, KZ.My mother was the one who got me into Trek. I’m taking her to see it on Thurs. She is so excited. And as much as I love Trek, I’m more excited about seeing Winona Ryder on the big screen again.
K Z, you probably wouldn’t be surprised at how often I hear that from people, although there is usually a ‘fucking’ and a ‘bitch’ thrown in there somewhere. *GRIN*
You did, Sean. You should feel very grateful.Winona Ryder?? And with that comment Sean of the Generation X-ers tells us exactly how old he is. LOL. How do I know this you wonder?? Not telling.
KZ if it makes you feel better I voted for the disembodied voice. Although I have to admit to swaying toward the live long and prosper I steered myself away – only thinking of you of course. You know that Kris – she puts together a pretty tough show…although I’m wondering why there are no names in this one? Kris?
Shut up, I love Noni.And I don’t think I’ve ever tried to disguise my age. Have I?
You were a lone voice of reason, Tracy. BTW, I cannot be held responsible for what people choose. Your the ones that make the selections not me. I just put them out there.Names?? How can Ulrich and Orville be beaten I ask you??
I always knew that there was something wrong with you, Sean.It’s only the young and the clueless that would even think of barracking for the footy teams that we go for. At least that’s my theory and I’m sticking with it.No mentioning the way my team has gone over the last two weeks either. The littlest thing is capable of the jinx.
That’s it. For disparaging Winona, no more responses to your wheedling for free fic or other crazy shenanigans.Sometimes I feel a little sorry for Matthew Pavlich. Only a little, mind you.
Now, now, Sean. There’s no need to get huffy just because you have bizarre tastes in actors and in football teams. *G*I feel a little sorry for the Pavlova (as he is affectionately known in my family) all the time. Oh well, at least they beat the idiots last weekend so I’m a happy Kris.
This all looks great, even if I didn’t get all of my choices. Where did you get that twink photo? Honestly, I thought my eyes were going to fall out of my head. Yummy, yum. He actually looks a little bit like the picture I had in my head of Sean Kennedy, but it appears all my illusions have been shattered on that one ;).Hey, I remember Winona Ryder and I’m not that old. Am I?…well maybe I’m getting that way.
He is very yummy, isn’t he, Jen. The twink that is, not Sean, although I’m sure Sean is absolutely gorgeous too. *making goo-goo eyes*As to where I got the photo? It is simply amazing what comes, err, up when you type ‘twink’ into a google image search. O_O Try it. You’ll see what I mean, but for goodness sake NOT around your kids and it’s definitely NSFW.
What happened to my choices is what I want to know. KZ is up to the challenge – didn’t she interview two penises recently? Btw Kris I still can’t figure out how to put Sean’s story on my blog. I downloaded it using the website you recommended but that’s as far as I got. I don’t think I got much of the technology gene.*g*SeanAre they saying you’re a twink? Shame on them!!!KZLooking forward to your effort.:)
“KZ is up to the challenge – didn’t she interview two penises recently?”LOL. Very true, Wave, very true.Re: Sean’s story – I would just give people the link and let them go for it themselves. Otherwise you can try adding it via html. Good luck!
I would just like to know what smack you guys are taking, and where I can get some. Because that fantasy land you’re living in is wild, man.
You aren’t a twink then, Sean?? Jen will be sooo disappointed. 😉
She would be *bitterly* disappointed.
Damn, I’m just gutted. I can’t believe you’ve both shattered my illusions in this way.I’m going to have to rethink all my mental pictures of you now, Sean…sigh…Does this mean you don’t look like Nicole Kidman then, Kris? Please say it isn’t so!
Well….
JenHa ha haKris’s Mumma
Snap Sissy!
Ohhhh. Dissed by your Mumma. Harsh. LOLI thought Jen liked them with a bit of a rug on their chest. Why is she ogling that sweet young hairless thing? That’s my job.
Mumma, you’re so mean to me. *pouts*Shut UP, Tam!Maybe the company Jen’s been keeping lately *namely YOU* has turned her to the dark side.
Names?? How can Ulrich and Orville be beaten I ask you??Well let’s see there’s the ever popular Sheldon. *ahem*. or we could go withAloysiusBernhardHedwigShermanand the ever popular Roy. Mumma? Keep up the good work. 🙂
Nudist colonies must be seriously upgraded since the last time I saw one. *brrr* Guess that check-point is surely needed.My condolences to you KZ
Tracy: Nice names, but please don’t encourage the Mumma.Ingrid: It is in the future so maybe security is needed to check to make sure everyone has the appropriate bits?? No fake fruit bits allowed!
It’s always good value seeing you get smacked down by your ma, Kris. I’m just glad my mother doesn’t come to my blog.
*prick*
Ouch!
I’m so sure you weren’t expecting such a reaction, Sean. *rolls eyes*Hey, remind me where you said your parents lived down south?? *Hoping there aren’t that many Mrs Kennedys in the phone book.*
I put my parents into Witness Protection as soon as I became published so that my cover wouldn’t be blown.
A bit extreme, don’t you think, Sean?? *Ditching plans to stalk famous author by establishing a connection to parents.*
What famous authors are you trying to stalk?
*snort* You’re right. It’s the slightly well known Aussie m/m authors who are my preferred game. LOL.
Even “slightly well-known” is an overstatement! But aww, I have a well-intentioned maybe-stalker. Please don’t call me ‘dirty bird’ and then hobble me.
Dammit! *Ripping up yet another plan.*
You guys crack me up!…pettiness of my fellow readersI object! I”m not petty….just evil *grin*And I agree with you on the new Star Trek movie. And the actor that plays Dr McCoy is a New Zealander! (Sorry, had to point that out :)And now I’m going to show that my head is constantly in the sand. Ummm…twink? Here that’s the name of liquid whitener!
Evil OranniaIt will be my pleasure to post about twinks for you… strictly for educational purposes, of course. Now where did I put that folder of images of my cuties. ;)BTW, I’m all about parochialness on this blog. 🙂 No mentioning the she-who-shall-not-be-named destroyer of Rogue and Sookie though. That may result in me bringing up such issues as sheep, etc.
*grin*Thank you! (((Kris)))No mentioning the she-who-shall-not-be-named destroyer of Rogue and Sookie though.*bows* By your command!
As it should be, Orannia. 😉
