The Middle Distance

Treebeard's one of my favorite characters, he deserves some action! (OK, OK, I wanted to see if I could pull it off! No pun intended.)

Well, just because a character isn't young, attractive or even vaguely humanoid, it doesn't mean that they don't deserve to have lurid smutfic written about them. And 'to see if I could' seems like a good enough reason to do it (though given some of the things people have got me to write over the last few months I really have no room to judge anyway).

Would you like me to post one of your stories anonymously? :D

Hehehe. It's very kind of you to offer. Alas, if you post it I'll know that I've not genuinely suceeded in inciting horror/disgust/moral outrage and the whole thing will feel almost like cheating. Perhaps I just need to post some of my stranger fic to ff.net.

And I must say, for someone who's not prepared to write NC-17 Hastur/Ligur BDSM smut, you do bring it up an awful lot. Is it a case of "the lady doth protest too much", or are you hoping to implant the idea in some unsuspecting bunny-susceptible schmuck to watch the fun when the story bursts out of her chest a la Alien?

NC-17 Hastur/Ligur S&M smut represents a sense of ultimate squick for me (though a Dobby/Gollum sub/Dom thing would probably work equally well on that front). Of course given that I RP Ligur at neutral_omens it could indicate that I'm spending too long in the Duke's diabolic - yet somewhat limited - mind. Of course were somebody to write this fic curiosity would get the better of me and I'd would undoubtably end up reading it; alternating all the way between periods of retching and insane laughter. If one were to go all psychoanalytical one could suggest that I'm unconsciously attemtping to plant the idea in some poor suceptible writer's mind because of my repressed resentment about my own inability to resist fic dares and challenges - thus getting somebody to write something I wouldn't would be a way to reclaim a sense of powers.
