In a Wakeful Dream: Fondest Recollections

Merry Christmas y'all! It's generally a quiet time of year for me, so thought I'd catch up on my LJ fic backlogging...

This fic I wrote last year and I guess was inspired with someone particular in mind--not that it matters now, as the fic is general enough to carry itself. One of the things that also prompted the story was that line from Alanis Morrisette's You Oughta Know - 'Would she go down on you in a theatre?' I'd wondered at writing about a scenario like that, albeit in reverse, so gave it a try here. Listening to The Presets at the time also helped the creative process :)

The second fic I'm squeezing into this post was another one I started late last year, but actually didn't get to finish till early this year. On the subject of music, the fic was prompted by a La Roux song, 'Tigerlily', from which the title was derived. It was meant to be a no-holds barred PWP to start with. Trouble was, I got stuck with where to take it and end the tale. After reading a book with erotic short stories, in particular one which was film-noirish in its stylings, I finally got around to finishing the ending. Eventually, this fic turned into a bit of a espionagey thriller. The fact that I like James Bond flicks (gross chauvinism aside) may have also had a major influence on how it came out.

I'm hoping to start writing again soon, in light of my newfound love for the show Breaking Bad, or more to the point, Aaron Paul, who plays layabout homie Jesse Pinkman. So stay tuned...
