I'm having a little problem...

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

...sorry about this, but I just found a bit of a fic on my computer, in with my own fic but which I don't remember writing. Does anyone know of a fic which begins like
Ask any of my friends, and they'll tell you that Bertram Wilberforce Wooster is a generous sort of chap. Ask the ones I was at school with when they're sufficiently oiled and they might just tell you which part of my anatomy I tended to be generous with. To put it bluntly, this Wooster's rear end gave considerable pleasure to many.
because if not, I probably did write it and should have a bash at finishing it.
Second thing is that not long ago I read a fic and can't remember much about it, but want to read it again so it will *leave me alone*. Does anyone else get that? An idea or a scene that will sit in your head annoying you until you re-read it or write it, as appropriate? Like having the chorus of a song stuck in your head and only being able to shift it by listening to the whole song. Er, anyway, it's a fic in which Jeeves cries because he thinks he can be detached while getting personal, but can't. I had a poke around on delicious, but couldn't find it there. Which is annoying as if it's an old one that'll be where I got it from...

That last scene is probably from near the end of triedunture's "Jeeves and the Thorny Problem", part 1 is here (http://triedunture.livejournal.com/470255.html#cutid1).

I shall have a look at that, thanks. No ideas on the extract?

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

It is. Ta!

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

The second story you mentioned -- could it be "Jeeves And The Thorny Problem"?

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

It is indeed, I skipped ahead to read that scene again.

[thistlethorn.livejournal.com]

I just reread the last couple of parts of that one the other day; that's how I remembered. :-)

Odd that it was just that scene which stuck in my head, though, considering what a beautifully-wrought and emotionally charged fic it is. I suspect Him Indoors would suggest that it means that what I want to do next time I see him is, er, yes. Anyway.

While I don't recall that exact scene, "Thorny Problem" did pop into my head as well, for what it's worth... but that doesn't seem right. At any rate, I've never seen the opening excerpt mentioned. But I'm **relatively** newer at this comm and therefore am less apt to be familiar with older fics.
Sorry, I know I'm being *no help whatsoever*, but there's my input.

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

It was indeed Thorny Problem. I wonder why I was re-reading that recently, aside from the utter awesomeness that is triedunture

As for your extract, I am certain I've not read that before - and I have read a lot of Jooster now.

If no-one else recognises it I think you're safe to assume it's your own to work on - if it turns out you're wrong at least you've done due diligence in trying to figure it out!

How can you forget, though, whether you wrote something or not!? My own writing sits in my brain forever like a really boring speech I've had to learn. I'd love to read something of mine and have no memory of writing it!

[who-is-small.livejournal.com]

IAWTC, oh yes. Every retarded sentence of mine I know by heart. It is sad.

I have read jooster rather obsessively for a very long time and this extract says nothing to me! Also, pantropia, it is very good to hear from you again:)

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

Yeah, er, hi. Been busy.

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

Erm. well, most of my J&W writing was done while completely off my face on illness and pseudoephedrine, so, er... yeah.

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

Is it totally leotarded that I read your plea and thought Ohhhhh, that fic sounds weird, let's see it. And then I saw it was mine! I didn't recognize it at all from your description because apparently I have the memory of a slug. :3

Very glad you enjoyed it again though!

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

*lol* maybe the fic I found on my machine was yours as well. :)

[triedunture.livejournal.com]

No, I'm pretty sure I'd remember a line like that. I think. :3

[niektete.livejournal.com]

Write it, say I, and it will probably turn out absolutely delish ^^

[pantropia.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure I can write while well, but I should have a try, I suppose.

[captlebubbles.livejournal.com]

I say, I know this is a bit of an old post, but did you ever get everything sorted out with that snippet of yours? Because it sounds like something I'd quite enjoy reading and it'd be a dashed shame if it were to not exist, eh what?
