Pimp, and snark

This story makes me happy.

I need more dead girls.

( And a couple of movie summaries, for I am bored. )

And from the department of "Good Lord, do these people not listen to lyrics?!", In The Air Tonight is listed on a lovesong compilation on iTunes. Whiskey Tango Fruitbat! I don't think that's the sort of moment he's been waiting for.

Friday is spam day

The more I think about The Descent, the more annoyed I get. It felt like the narrative was trying to force me to pick sides between the two MCs, and--more annoyingly--that it expected me to choose a certain way automatically. The way badly written harpy stories or love triangles have one choice that is obviously supported by the narrative, making it no choice at all. Suffice it to say, I didn't agree. :P

Also, Natalie Mendoza is crazy hot.

Thanks to February's OWW challenge, I appear to be writing Martian spider porn. This one must have got lost en route to greygirlbeast.

He played it left-hand, but made it too far

I've written 600 words of the Martian spider porn, tentatively titled "Teneral". Most of that was smutty bits. The question now begs, is this a cute little vignette of some sort, or a real story that needs a plot. It's about two molecules away from being Bradbury Weather fanfic, but I cling to my scruples. Scruples in this case meaning my desire to write stories I can legally sell. :P But where does one sub Martian spider porn, anyway?

So where were the spiders?

"Teneral" (aka Little Miss Muffet and the Spiders from Mars)
Words today: 750
Words total: 750
Reason for stopping: I have achieved the Martian bodice-ripping! Plot, what's that?
Darling: "Teneral," she murmurs. You can call me whatever you want, I almost say, but I don't think she's that sort. I'm not sure what sort she is, yet.
Tyop: Her arm feels like pleather, slick and cool, harder than sin.
Character quirks: Little Miss Muffet is a liar, and not very forthcoming with me.
Words the boggle Word: arachne, janes, pleather, goosebumps, teneral, moulting, chitined, apolysis, ecdysis. Sheesh!

Now this story wants to be in four parts--apolysis, ecdysis, teneral, and imago. Since Miss Muffet hasn't even told me her real name yet, I think she's getting ahead of herself just a little. Also, plot? I think I'll add some nanites, so I can rip off matociquala too. Theme would be nice too, if the plot can't make it.

I'm open to suggestions. What is Miss Muffet's name? What is my plot? What is my theme? Step right up, hit the target and win a prize!
