Hello kind community members.

I normally blithely post things and let the chips fall (Apologies if that was unmannerly--I happened upon this community after getting hooked on the work of Mice and Random Nexus in Ao3).

I have something in the hopper that's been giving me pause and was wondering if there were any brave souls willing to give it a glance?  It's the sequel to that last 'spyverse' tale (no one dies and the ending is happy). It's longish--about 17,000 words, and any help would be deeply appreciated.

Rummy comment warning: things got a bit out of hand in crack pairing land.  Please be cautious with the links. AND also the lower comments... please keep animals (especially newts) and small children away

No...you are too kind.

I can pm it to you... want a small chunk first?

PS "Spussie" heh heh...

You can send it in bits or as a whole if the PM system tolerates that kind of behavior :)
Spussie -- the name is as terrible as the concept it represents.

Somewhat better than Flooster, however?

Only in that it doesn't involve cruelty to Bertie. Mental image-wise I still find it worse. Perhaps the only thing I can imagine (and why did I have to imagine this?) worse than Spussie would be ... Flagatha. (My mind is a darker place than I knew.)

My mental image of Spussie is Gussie cringing on top of the wardrobe while Spode prances about in a toga trying to woo him. Flagatha (http://archiveofourown.org/works/477809) would probably be perfectly cordial and unexciting... OK, perhaps not entirely unexciting... you are possessed of a dark side.

I must confess I find the Stinker-Pinker and Stiffy Bing union to be a bit frightening to think about and they seem to like each other just fine. I always picture them going at it each wearing a purloined policeman's helmet while the dog Bartholomew (in a miniature helmet) worries Stinker's slippers.

Your first sentence there is amazing because it starts off seeming to imply something HORRIBLE ("Gussie cringing on top of") then briefly seems to become less horrific when it reveals that Gussie is cringing on top of the wardrobe, not on top of Spode (bottom!Spode, well, of course) and then becomes terrible once again with the juxtaposition of toga and wooing. Well done. Or not.

... wait, I just clicked on your link. DAMN YOU! DASH IT! You will regret this!

As if I did not regret it before i even wrote it down... brrr

*clicks link* HUAGH!

Of course, nothing could be worse than the dreaded threesome, Joogatha . . . *shudders self to death*

No way. Although I am frightfully sorry about your trauma. Perhaps that little effort just needs to go away?

Curses, dash it.... Joogatha (http://archiveofourown.org/works/477957) Thankfully, this one is a comedy.

NO, WHAT HAVE YOU WROUGHT? *dies* I am . . . both delighted and horrified.

Honestly, though, I'm of the opinion that every fandom can do with more horrifying crack pairings (or groupings, in this case?).

They do have a certain type of entertainment value.

It has got quite rummy over on AO3 in the comments on your ungodly Flagatha drabble (considerate of us to vomit all over the carpet there and not here though, what?).

[identity profile] laeticiav.livejournal.com 2012-08-05 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
And I hadn't even seen your Joogatha... WHY IS THE COW CREAMER DENTED? I don't even.

I really have no idea... it was just there
