That's why they call it bunkin' cousins, right?

I have two one Dreamwidth invite codes to give out, so if you or anyone you know would like to get in on that action, give me a holler.

Unrelatedly, I hate writing kissing scenes. Sometimes they are necessary, and most of the time they are an exercise in wretchedness. I can make people banter until the cows come home, but get them less than one foot away from each other and my muse runs screaming. Blargh.

You got a Dreamwidth account? Since when?!

I have two codes as well, but I'm trying to decide if I want to use them for purely selfish purposes so I can make journals with awesome names.

Er... like a month ago-ish? We should be, like, friends or something. :) I don't really use it though, and always forget that I can cross-post from there.

Hee, I think you should use them yourself!

What's the deal with this Dreamwidth? Is it any different from LJ?

I am with you on the kissing scenes. I dread having to write them because I know they are going to be very unoriginal from every other kissing scene I've ever written. :/

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

It's set up very similarly to LJ (same code); as far as I can tell, the biggest differences are that DW apparently incorporates more user input, is ad-free (for now, at least) and separates f-lists into reading lists and access lists -- so, for example, you friend someone just for reading because you want to watch for their fics, they won't see your f-locked posts. Oh, and also you can import everything you have on LJ and cross-post to LJ.

I don't actually use my DW account except for cross-posting/archiving purposes because I think all my LJ friends are still primarily active here, so, meep.

I'll take a code, then. See what it's all about. :) Maybe I can do something different from my LJ with it.

I'm the same with kissing scenes *feels your pain*

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

Solidarity, sister.

I'm always afraid they'll come out so banal. Or technical. Ew.

[dragonsangel68.livejournal.com]

It's so hard to find a natural flow *sigh*

Though hard to write, kissing scenes are always wonderful to read. *smooches*

Good luck with writing it alright!

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

*hugs you* Thank you, hun! I need all the luck I can get. Hopefully it won't turn out dreadfully!

I hate writing kissing scenes, and I'm pretty sure that mine always come out just the wrong side of boring. I think it's because I get caught up in the mechanics when I'm writing them.

[adelagia.livejournal.com]

Ahh, you too? It's hard to find a happy middle ground between deadly dull and urple. :/

Your scenes are always pretty hot, though, so not boring at all!

[humbuggirl.livejournal.com]

I think it feels that way because I've written so many of them over the years - they rarely feel original any more.

LOL don't ask me how I remembered that you'd titled a post with that quote, but OMG I am just now watching that episode. HEHE!
