Question for a Fic and the Last Day of the Fic Meme

Question first:

Character A is in Lurve with character B.
Character B (who is probably as in love with Character A as it is possible for him to be in love with anyone, it's just for character B values of love) tries to warn him off.

What the heck does author Me put in the header. I mean, I think it's a slash fic, but you can see the problem. It's not exactly unrequited but it's not even vaguely requited. Help, suggestions, comments that it really would be easier not to write Sherlock fic are all accepted.

Day 30 – Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link!

Remarkably easy :)

Walking In These Shoes

I think it's my favourite because it succeeded on two levels:

1 - Artistic Merit - Or people liked it, people actually liked it. I got a lot of positive feedback from readers who hadn't even been the target audience. It has been recced in various places. People liked the mix of character and explosions.

2 - Technical Merit - I mostly write character pieces, where people think or talk but they do not do. There's no plot to them. So I said no, this time there would be plot. And there was. It may have been off-screen until it happened to Pepper but there was plot.

It's very satisfying when fics work on both levels.

More Complaining About Rush

Tumblrites may have seen a slightly shorter version of this earlier.

I've just seen the second trailer.

I am now torn even more because, seriously, they couldn’t find a British actor for James Hunt? I mean, I love you Chris Hemsworth and I admire your attempt at James Hunt, but it really doesn’t work.

They do at least seem to be giving Niki a fair shake, he’s just a bit harder to get across to begin with. This month’s Lufthansa in-flight magazine has an interview with him and he is still very much himself. A sort of mixture of “does not suffer fools gladly” and “my way or the highway” mixed with an acceptance of his (many) faults and the fact that he can be out-stubborned (mostly by his wife).

I hope the film gets across his sense of humour, which is particularly dry. (This is the guy who makes jokes about his own fiery near death experience) And he enjoys mocking everything.

Brühl does his best, but the voice isn't right, and never will be right (like by about half a pint of gravel and about an octave) and ... I still don't see why they're making this film. The dude that made the Senna documentary, if he chose to make a documentary about this, that's something I'd choose to watch.

In more minor matters, I also do not look forward to the fangirl German and the woobie Lauda fics that will come out after this. Because, if ever there was a man who was not a woobie, it is Niki Lauda.
