Good news!
Despite the fact that my little corner of LJ is a wonderful and positive space (*loves everyone on my flist* You all give me such joy!!), I've managed to run across those various fandom hate memes and posts. I think it's fine to have a sense of humour about ourselves and not take things too seriously, but fandom - or my idea of fandom - should be about fun, and seeing the word "hate" bandied about distresses me. Maybe it's because there's been some upsetting things happening in Canada recently (eg. Massive arrest of suspected terrorists in Toronto, whose targets included downtown Toronto, and PM Stephen Harper to re-open same-sex marriage issue and have a free vote in the fall), and that's making me more sensitive. Nonetheless, I feel that there's enough hate and badness in real life, that we don't need to bring the hate to fandom. (I think ranting and critical thought is good, it's this whole hate thing that bothers me.) Sure I take my writing seriously, but I'm ultimately here for the fun and because it brightens my day. I say we should have less hate, more love!!!!!
Don't you want my love?

So in the spirit of fun, and love for Veronica Mars (which has been the target of much hate recently), I have a fun Dick-centric drabble. (See I haven't forgotten about my drabble requests, I'm just really really slow! But I've been writing lots recently, so yay!)

Warning: Dick is, well, a dick.
The Ladies
by Cordelianne
The cleavage is okay, he’s seen better. But awesome ass, something to really grab onto. Okay. She’s on the “to do” list, he decides. He nods and flashes her the Dick Casablancas get-the-girls smile. She swishes by.
His eyes sweep the room and pass by Veronica. No way is he getting involved with that, even if she’s smokin’ and – from Duncan and Logan’s glazed looks – gives wicked blow jobs.
His head whips around when he spies Marcie leaning forward, giving the girls some air. Yeah, that’s more like it. He turns around to take it all in.
“Lookin’ good ladies.”

Comments
I heard about the suspected terrorist arrests in Toronto in the news. I couldn't help making the comment that it's strange how this has happened since you've had a change in government, but I'm really sorry to hear that there have been unsettling things in RL. It seems to me that Canadians tend to be fairly open-minded and liberal so I hope that the bill isn't changed as well.
::many hugs::
Yay for Sarah Slean.
Congrats on the nomination and loads of good luck to your friend! I expect he speaks French? This will probably be so much more helpful, though France is a fairly bureaucratic place to live. I wish him well though.
Eeee! L/W!!
I couldn't help making the comment that it's strange how this has happened since you've had a change in government Very good point. The new government is particularly disturbing and I believe affecting things very negatively. Thanks for your kind thoughts. *hugs back* I'm hoping that the vote on same-sex marriage is more about fulfilling an election promise because they do not have a majority in the house and it seems insane that they'll be actually able to take away people's rights.
I'm totally addicted to Sarah Slean right now!! Listening to her albums got me through the work stress.
Thanks! *g* I believe my friend has decent French and he has some family there which is helpful (especially with the bureaucratic aspect).
Eeee! L/W!! I know! I just hope it's actually good..
(On a related note, make love, not war!)
(On a related note, make love, not war!) Never a truer word. Do NOT check out any of those hate memes or communities, they're horribly vicious and petty and distressing.
Instead I'm just going to enjoy your icon!!
This corner of LJ is a nice little save haven from the craziness of the outside world. ::loves Buffy fandom:: And I'm trying not to get anxious about this government, but it's not easy.
Oh, Dick. ::shakes head::
Yes! Yes, do not leave our lovely haven here. I made the mistake of clicking on one of those anonymous hate memes (for Battlestar Galactica) and am still horrified. I'm now enjoying some good BtVS fanfic and blocking out all the scariness. I'm also trying not to get anxious about the government but it keeps getting harder.
That's the perfect reaction to Dick, isn't it?!! *g*
I've gone a little crazy with VM icons and today realized I have 3 different Dick icons alone. :)
Hey! I still have to tell you about the "premiere." I'll send you an email - I feel weird talking about this stuff on LJ.
Oh, yes! I'm excited to hear about the premiere and your reactions to the film!! Do email!! *g*
Congratulations on the nomination.
*twirls you*
I'm very pleased about actually writing the Logan/Weevil fic! It's still in the early draft/editing stage but I'm hoping to have it ready to post soon!
Thanks for your lovely words about my writing! *hugs* It will be more difficult for the writing but the wonders of things like Instant Messenger means we should still be able to co-write. Also, it will give me the opportunity to continue developing as a solo writer (which is one of the motivations behind the fanfic writing).
