Here's Luck Pizza and Bad Crossover Ideas

sisabetI just found out how to render as I go in Premiere. Damn this is a convenient step! Wish I'd known about this while making "Closer" - would have saved me months. Normally I vid for a while, stop - export as a movie and look at what I've done.
So I was going to make tacos for supper tonight but I needed tomatoes and lettuce. So I decided to go to the store. Since I had to go to the store, I decided to not make tacos cause it didn't really sound that good. Not that tacos aren't good and the food of the gods, but just not tonight. So I decided to make a pizza. Not just any pizza, but a![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heres_luck Pizza. What makes a pizza not just a pizza, but a heres_luck Pizza, you ask? Apparently vegetables. That is what I decided. Except I didn't put much thought into how I was combining the vegetables. I pretty much put every vegetable on it. It got kinda heavy - I had to have help from Dawn to put it in the oven. Oh! I forgot pizza sauce so I used ricotta cheese instead and that actually turned out really good. I'm gonna do that again. That and the zucchini. The zucchini was yummy. Next time I will also put the fresh basil on the bottom so it doesn't burn up. When Dawn was helping me put the pizza in the oven she got excited.
Dawn: I didn't know you could put lettuce on pizza!
Me: That is not lettuce, it's basil.
Dawn: Oh. Well, I'm glad you told me, otherwise I'd be putting my ceasar salad on a crust and popping it in the oven. Are you sure here's luck doesn't put lettuce on some of her pizzas? Cause I bet if she does, it is good.
Dawn should be tired. She spent today looking for quality QaF fanfiction. So far she has really earned her pizza. She found a lot of Brian/Michael - which isn't what I want to read. Oh!! She found a time-travel fic where Justin has to go back in time to 1990 to teach Brian how to love!! I shit you not. I want to read the one where Brian and Justin time travel to turn of the century Egypt and Justin needs help getting dressed because the clothes are all complicated...and that won't work with this ship, will it?
Oh - I saw a summary of a series that was Season One QaF retold with vampires. I'm fairly certain I don't want vampires in the mix, I have enough to worry about without the possibility that Brian will lose his soul. Seriously.
I just want a few vignettes - missing scenes, told well and not in first person because when I am new to a fandom and just starting to read fic, first person squicks me. Later on I can deal - but not right away. It feels too "inserty" and not in a good way. But there are things that happened on the show that were not seen and I need the blanks filled in. Like - remember when Justin comes home drunk after he drops out of IFA and Brian tries to show him the computer and Justin gets all upset and tells Brian that it is just false hope and you can literally see Justin starting to crack, and then he tells Brian, "Now, why don't you come fuck me before I pass out" and the scene ends with Brian looking at Justin going into the bedroom? Uh...well, what happened next? Dawn says, "Well, Brian went in there and fucked him." but somehow her explanation falls short. Maybe because it lacks poetry, or perhaps I just want more details. Poetry or details - I'd take either at this point.
Also - Dawn has decided that we should write a Quantum Leap/QaF crossover where Sam leaps into Brian's body toward the end of season one. Al can tell him it is because Brian Kinney dies on his 30th birthday or some shit like that - I don't know - just work with me here. Anyhow, Sam realizes he is in this guys body and he is at the loft and shirtless and there is a knock at the door and it is this random trick. Who Sam, because he is all that is good and pure in the world, sends away. And that is pretty much the fic - just Sam trying to be Brian and everyone thinking Brian has gone around the deep end. Cause he is all nice to people - you see. Oh, and he is all upset that Justin is at Babylon. Oh - and Dr. Dave thinks that Brian is up to something, acting all nice and is just furious. I had some other stuff as well, but I seem to have forgotten it all now, so it is just as well. But if anyone wants to write QL/QaF fic, I'd probably read it. So long as Brian doesn't learn an important lesson and confess his love to Justin/Michael and use the phrase "I have always loved you, I've been a fool for so long." cause there is only so much this poor gal can take, yo. Although - if it was Sam as Brian saying those things I think it would crack my shit up.

Date: 2003-08-06 06:54 pm (UTC)There's also a "romance" calendar (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1931978085/ref=pd_sim_books_4/104-7034501-3140716?v=glance&s=books).

Date: 2003-08-06 07:19 pm (UTC)Oh, holy shit - don't tell Dawn. She will so buy this and then make me read it to her cause she is tired. It'd be like Freshman year and "The Day No Pigs Would Die" all over again. I wonder if Justin is in these books? 1989 - he'd be six, right?
Just checked out the calender and they have Ethan/Justin on the cover? WTF?! I thought it was supposed to be a romance calender - what about the Ice Cream Kisses!?!?

Date: 2003-08-06 07:23 pm (UTC)There are a TON of missing scenes I want to write, or at least read, but nobody seems to pick the ones I find interesting. I want one about all the non-stop hot monkey sex they must've been having between 3.8 and 3.9, or one about Justin telling his mom that he's back with Brian, or one about the three days of hospital hell, or...well, there's lots of them. But like, I read one yesterday where Brian went back to Vanguard after getting fired to find out about his COBRA and unemployment options. Umm...and this is interesting how? Ugh.
Oh, and meep! My story's in first person. Hope you can read it anyway.
no subject
Date: 2003-08-06 07:30 pm (UTC)And...so what do you think happened between 3.8 and 3.9? Not that I am pressuring you to write it - but if you just wanted to, you know...talk about it and let us all know what you think went on, that'd be good too. Also the hospital hell and after the camera faded out on them in 3.13 at the bar - OH!!! And when Justin played hustler!!! I want to read about that.
I am such a fucking consumer.

pizza!
Date: 2003-08-06 07:39 pm (UTC)This is the point at which I started laughing so hard I scared the cats. Not least because it is just so freakin' true. But I generally stick to just two or three veggies per pizza (I'm usually making three at a time, so I can still manage a hell of a lot of vegetables).
Re: fresh basil or other fresh herbs: put them on top after the pizza comes out of the oven so they don't burn. They don't really need to cook, and they get warm from the hot cheese.
Typical vegetable combos, for your future reference:
curly endive (which is like lettuce!) and zucchini
spinach, tomato, and ricotta (or feta) cheese with fresh oregano
sweet onion and pattypan squash
fennel (with fontina cheese instead of mozzarella)
red onion, roasted eggplant, and red bell pepper
pesto (instead of tomato sauce) with tomato and red pepper
mushroom sauce with more mushrooms on top
sauteed leeks and goat cheese
...and of course there's also my amazing taco pizza. No, I'm not kidding. That one's more complicated to explain, but let me know if you want to know how to make it.

That story needs to be written. This line sold me on it. I can just see him pulling Micheal aside and telling him to stop hanging around with Brian "because he's acting too nice lately."

Date: 2003-08-06 08:03 pm (UTC)You can! I once had BLT pizza. It actually wasn't that bad. I think they put the lettuce on after it's cooked, though.

Date: 2003-08-06 08:05 pm (UTC)Phew. It's first person past tense, if that's any comfort. I tend to find 1st present more annoying than 1st past, and I don't think I'm alone in that.
And...so what do you think happened between 3.8 and 3.9?
Umm, lots and lots of sex? *g* I don't really have any brilliant or original ideas about that one. Just, you know, lots and lots of sex, which I would like to read about in excruciating detail. I'll bet they both took the next day off work, just to stay at home and have lots and lots of sex. And there was probably a scene where Michael came over and found them having lots and lots of sex, cause he and Ben seemed to know about their reunification before everyone else. And Michael was probably irritated, cause, you know, he's Michael. And um, Brian and Justin probably had some interesting conversations in between the bouts of sex, but I haven't gotten that far in my thinking yet.
The hospital hell I'm actually considering writing about for real, but I dunno...it might have to be from Michael's POV, and I'm scared of that. But we'll see.
Did you notice in the hustler scene, when Justin's trying to role play and ask him for money Brian gets sort of irritated? I just noticed that recently. I think he's sensitive about fucking hustlers who look like Justin...
Ooh, you know what one I want? The one in Pride, after Brian snarls at Michael, and Michael leaves, and Justin is sitting there pouting about Chris Hobbs and claiming he isn't going to Pride tomorrow, and then the next scene is Justin at Pride tomorrow. I wanna know what Brian said to him that made him change his mind. And I'd also like some comforting cuddles. That would be cool. And maybe Brian fantasizing about smashing Chris Hobbs' head like a pumpkin.
Wow, this post wasn't even vaguely coherent.

Date: 2003-08-06 08:10 pm (UTC)LOL! I can see some truly horrific badfic being written in that vein.
**Brian continued to stare at the little boy across the street who was pestering his mother, ignoring Michael's question. He wondered what his friend found so interesting.
"Brian? Hellooo?"
Brian shook his head and titled his head toward his friend.
"Oh, nothing. I just felt an odd connection with that little blonde brat.**
