A bit of fluff inspired by conversations on Horatio and Archie, genetics and tongue rolling. I wrote and posted this months ago somewhere else, just want to put it up here for archive purpose.

Meme stolen from calavarna. Writing ten word stories is hard but fun. Proves that I can still write - in ten words!

By the way, I'm playing Sims 2 again. See icon. *squee*

Try to write different categories of fic (angst, fluff, UST, etc) in 10 words.

Title: G is for Ghost
Character: Archie
Pairing: Archie/Horatio
Author's note: This ficlet is set in LKU. Written for the Archie Kennedy Alphabet Soup Challenge, which bred a hundred plot bunnies in my mind. Arrrrgh. *head explodes* And don't forget to read the letter T ficlet after this one!

Title: Tug of Love
Author: trusea
Characters: Horatio/Archie
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: They are not mine, I make no money from this.
Challenge prompt: Queues
Author’s note: Wrote this silly little thing more quickly than I usually do. I confess: I am fascinated by Horry’s curls. And I bet Archie is too. I recently got my hair permed - perhaps it was me subconsciously trying to become Horatio, which is an unsettling thought :P

(This was written in response to a challenge at aos_challenge,
and was originally posted here.)

I was reading stories by mylodon, and I started wondering. When you read (and/or write) Hornblower fic, especially H/A slash fic, do you identify with Archie or Horatio more? Or do you *not* identify with any character?

I can enjoy many, if not most, books and stories and films without actually identifying with any character, but I tend to put myself in Horatio's place when I read H/A slash fic. And somehow it feels right, despite the fact that Horatio as a character annoys me sometimes. But at the same time, I like to think I'm more Archie-like than Horatio-like. I'm not always nice to Horry, cos I think there's more than a bit of Mary Sue-ness in him, but I still like him a lot, or else I wouldn't be reading and writing H/A slash.

Is it because I luv Archie so much that I need to put myself in his lover's place? Or is it because I'm actually more like Horatio than I'd like to admit? Not in the sense that I'm a mathematical genius (I'm worse than Simpson at maths), but that I'm lonely and emotionally fragile, like Horry is, beneath that cool façade?

Just a thought, no point or anything :)

I made two Archie desktop wallpapers! - One wallpaper, actually, but in two different colours :) They are both 1024 x 768 in size.

One of the most hilarious things I've seen in the last few days. This is a fanvid on Youtube (not made by me of course), celebrating the abundance of sexy men in Hornblower, from Archie to Horry to My-Lord-Edrington. My only complaint is that Mariette (whose existence I've actually forgotten) is in there too for one or two seconds. But it is fun, watch it!

Finished watching Torchwood last night. ( Spoliers, of course. )
