*iz dying*

So, I was sitting at work this afternoon, acting all normal, when I got an e-mail from [livejournal.com profile] paradise_city. We often e-mail each other during the day, and in fact, had been e-mailing each other about crack fics earlier that day, so I wasn't all that surprised when I received an email from her.

That was, until I read it:
Although I will admit to liking a lot of the Rodney/Bug!John fic that came out after "Conversion," and then I read that one where Rodney was clipping John's toenails and somehow that led to sex and then John left his penis's exoskeleton on Rodney's nightstand and that sort of ruined the whole genre for me. I'm forever afraid of a sneak attack penis exoskeleton now, which is just not right.


If the women who sit around me didn't already think I was crazy, they do now. I nearly *broke* something trying to keep the laughter down. I did in fact, fall off my chair, and probably broke something important in my brain.

The sad thing is, I really want to post this anonymously now to [livejournal.com profile] sgastoryfinders not because I want to read the fic, but just so I could make some of the members of that comm cry with despair for fandom. Maybe the Mascara Balls are enough for them.

PS. [livejournal.com profile] paradise_city, the google ad showing for my gmail account right now is for harem pants, cheap. I wish I could blame that one on you. *sigh* Also, I called you, to squeal over this. I'm not sure if you have a roommate or not, or if they'd listen to your messages, so I thoughtfully left the word penis out of my message, but *god*

Ahahahaha! Combined, we are awesome!

I finally got your message. My cell phone (which is the number you have, by the way, so feel free to leave any message you so desire in the future) didn't feel the need to tell me I had a voicemail, so I missed it until your email. But it was well worth it. [livejournal.com profile] aurora_84! [livejournal.com profile] sgastoryfinders! Commenters who are horrified! Commenters who think it's "sweet" and "awesome"! Commenters who find alternate uses for the exosekeleton! Oh, fandom. My love and horror, they live in equal parts in my secret heart of hearts.

The tricky thing is that it's actually a good story. I really like the way the author writes John's though processes as primal without being violent, like the way he simplifies Rodney to "help" and feeling good to "yum." It's great until the exoskeleton attacks you out of nowhere and than you can never go back.

Also, I know I'm going to regret this, but Mascara Balls?
