raeschaeSo I've spent the last two days bemoaning the fact that there's no hot water in my building until Monday, and coding my Big Bang. I know I don't post for another couple of weeks, but I'm getting too excited! The problem with all of this excitement is that I can't stop tweaking the story, and I'm about to reach the point where it does more harm than good to mess with it.
That's where y'all come in. I know it's Sunday, and everyone's probably otherwise busy, so this might fall completely flat. But I'm proposing another 'caring and sharing' meme. Here's what I'm thinking: Let's talk fic. More to the point, characters.
My question: If you could spend twenty-four hours with one fanfictional character, who would it be, and why?
My answer on this will probably change in about twenty minutes, but as of right now, I would choose the Jared in![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
astrangerfate's BB, Things We Can't Untie. I'm not a huge fan of slave fic, but this is not your average slave fic. The moral, ethical, and political issues are what made it so fascinating for me, and this Jared - so strong in his submission - is a guy that I would love to spend a little time getting to know. From the deleted scene at the end of the story: “Whatever you do, make it big. I thought that the Revolution needed my words. Well, I was wrong. The Revolution doesn’t need words. It needs Molotovs. Thank you.”
On a slightly related note, sort of, I just finishedfleshflutter's spy fic, Someone You Might Have Been. For many of the same reasons listed above, I'd take twenty-four hours with her Jensen, so desperate to believe in something, to sacrifice himself to something that matters, but being so unsure of just what that something is anymore. From chapter 23: ". . .I mean people didn't catch Jensen's attention like causes did. By the time I met him, he'd gone through wanting to save the whales, wanting to save the ozone layer and was right up to wanting to save the world."
I guess my kink for people who are totally sold out to the causes they believe in is showing, huh?
So what about you? I'm anxious to hear who sticks with y'all, and why you're so drawn to those characters. Feel free to disagree with my selections - I'm all for everyone feeling free to express their own opinions, whatever those opinions may be!

Date: 2010-06-28 12:48 pm (UTC)How is the podfic for Someone You Might Have Been? I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks, and I might need something to keep me occupied on the trip.
no subject
Date: 2010-06-28 01:14 pm (UTC)I haven't read the story so it's all new to me. But it's read by FayJay who's one of my fav podfic'ers (is that a term, hmmmm).
If you need any more recs for some good long J2 Podfic (I'm kind of addicted to them cause I'm a) an insomniac and b) have a long commute at times) my absolute favourite are -
'As This Sunset Turns To Morning' by mournthewicked / read by juice817
'Food Porn' by Unreckless / read by FayJay
'In From The Cold' by ladyjanelly / read by group slashpad
'QueensGuard' by Aramuin / read by (again) FayJay - also this one has a text sequel coming out next week as a part of Big Bang!
'Spin The Light To Gold' by Belyste / read by (sensing a trend) juice817
Actually, I think I could listen to FayJay or Juice817 read out the phone book and I'd been enthralled. They are both amazing story tellers!!
Oh, and 'But My Homework Was Never Like This' has been podfic'd by twasadark. I haven't had a chance to listen but she's generally made of awesome!!

Ok, /*Super Facepalm*/ my link for Homework is from Twasadarks recs but you are correct that it's Juice817. Sorry, it's nearly midnight here and I'm waiting for the washing machine to finish so I can hit the hay :-P
(Of course, it was also a shite day so I may or may not have had a couple of glasses of wine *grin*)

Damn Mondays - They should be banned!
