Writing, Hughes, fwee!

[evilhippo]

Now that I've had a chance to read most of them, the fics over at hughesathon are wonderful. I haven't come across any that I've disliked yet. (Though for some reason, all the Hughes I've been dealing with lately has made me want to write Roy.) So yes... go read, if you feel so inclined. There's backstory (The Hands-On Approach, which mattador wrote for me. It's wonderful, and even gets properly philosophical), copius amounts of Roy/Hughes (like Preclusion, which is a different sort, and it's got movie spoilers), Chimera!Roy and !Hughes (Out of Hell which, I imagine, is not what you think), Hughesmunculus (done in a different way than I've seen most of the time in Ownership)... not to mention the fluff, and the... gah, I'm bad at reccing and this is starting to sound like the llama song. Explore for yourselves.

I should probably sort out whether I'm going to sit here in front of the computer all night or actually get more work done on all the homework I need to finish this week. It's midterms, so of course my margins are littered with plot outlines rather than useful things like figuring out what I'm going to write for the paper I have due Friday.

Write Roy! Write Roy! Or, better, write Hughes AND Roy! Come on, take the plunge, be perverted! Or be fluffy! Or whatever it is that can make Roy and Hughes be.

I remember the days when all I wrote was Roy. (Okay, there was one attempt at Hughes. It included Hohenheim, too. And it didn't get past two chapters.) I think Roy sort of swapped places with Hughes over the summer, and it's totally something I blame omg_alchemist for. (I blame it for a lot of things, though.)

And I'd have to try to be perverted. I don't think it'd work. It's not like I'm actively resisting it. I guess I've just sort of got a gen streak.

Fluff works too.

Is this an attempt to keep me from writing more serious fic? (I don't think Roy'd do fluff for me. Hughes would. But Roy? Not so much.)

No . . . I just want to see what your "pairing" fic would be like since I've never read one.

Hmm, maybe we can challenge ourselves. I'll attempt to write a gen story so Peter can actually read it all the way through and judge it properly. (the bastard who doesn't read obvious warnings and shit) And you can . . . pair! Whoo-hoo!

But I have tried pairing fics before. Unless you don't count the one that involved the fishing line and pictures of Elysia. Unless you're expecting more than implied. Because... um... can't do it.

Peter doesn't read words like obvious warnings, apparently. (Actually, something along the lines of obvious warnings may have been the exact original definition he intended for the "words" he doesn't read.)
