What ho, chappies and chappesses!
I have been a closet believer in Jeeves and Wooster slash for some time, but I had no idea there was such a strong movement about it and I am now coming to join you!
So. I brought you a question, and a fanfic. I'm going to link straight to fanfic.net, I hope that's not against a rule or anything?

Question: Has anyone read the bit in Comrade Bingo where Bingo says Bertie has a face like a motor mascot? If you have, did you have any idea what on Earth it meant?

Fanfic: This is my first ever Jeeves fic, so I will await any feedback from you seasoned Joosters humbly.

Title: Locos Parentis
Summary: Jeeves reflects on his growing love for controlling the young master.
Rating: T, for angst.
Words: 1,003

Thanks everyone, glad to be here :D

I have the impression that a motor mascot is what I would call a hood ornament, but I'm not very sure about this.

Welcome! The most famous motor mascot is that of the Rolls Royce, here (http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&q=rolls+royce+mascot&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=wURjSpCkL-XRjAf07PzyDw&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4)

A close up showing the Spirit of Ecstasy's face: Here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Rolls_Royce_Silver_Cloud_I_1957_Spirit_of_Ecstasy_Side.jpg).

I hope Bingo wasn't trying to imply that Wooster's face looked half melted :)

There were plenty of other kinds, though; Jaguar, for example had a - guess what? And I think there was also a company which had a bulldog mascot/hood ornament. I doubt very much whether the Spirit of Ecstasy was intended.

Welcome! I'll offer feedback on your fic just a bit later.

Hallo allo.
Lovely fic you have there! You managed to find that balance between emotion and logical thought that is so difficult to create in fanfiction and so present in Jeeves' character's narration. Well done! Splendid little insight ^^

Welcome! And wonderful story! (Jeeves is very good at self-justification, isn't he.)

That's why this comm is so loved! Every genre is accepted. And I'm afraid I couldn't say :/

It's from the very end of The Full House.

Oooh! That was a good fic. So much repression! Very creepy!good. I like Jeeve's controlling confusion, his inherant rationalisation of what he actually wants. Nicely complex.

Your Jeeves is hiding from himself. His confusion is quite heart-breaking. I'd like to see a piece like this expanded just a bit just so that I can get even more into Jeeves's great brain. I have trouble doing that when I write so I do like to see it from other authors.

And, once again, welcome. I'm sure you'll like it here.

I'd recently posted a possessive!Jeeves fic myself, but I definitely think yours was better written and, more importantly, not written from the perspective of going-insane!Jeeves. Also, it's interesting how it's so hard to tell exactly how Jeeves sees their relationship, because you've got a little bit of everything in there. A little slash, a little surrogate-parent, a little ownership, etc.

Welcome to the comm!

Ooooh, that's very nice, in a creepy sort of way. Actually, I can totally see Jeeves starting to think that way.

RE the Fic: Well, quite a nice first foray into the fandom, I'd say. Nice how it went from pleasantly caring to obsessively controlling tendencies. Well done, there. Creepy, true, but it was nicely handled, IMO.

RE Mascot: I think the others have it pinned down already.

In general: Welcome, welcome, and hope you enjoy!

Wow! This is your first Jeeves & Wooster story? It's fantastic. Incredibly creepy and very believable. Powerful stuff. Thank you for writing it, and for sharing.
