because I needed more plot-bunnies

[asimplechord]

wendy posted this morning about the slash potential inherent in the US 4x100m freestyle team's celebration, and now it just won't get out of my head!

(As an aside, how close was Phelps's Speedo to falling off his ass and showing us all his junk on international television?)

No, seriously. Garrett Weber-Gale's casual squeeze of Michael Phelps's naked torso doesn't NEED slash-goggles, does it? Especially since, like, not a minute before, Phelps helped Weber-Gale by unzipping his Speedo. (I've got screencaps of it at home, but I am, sadly, at work. I'll add them when I get home tonight. For, you know, inspiration.)

And then she compared Phelps to Jared Padalecki (height, weight, wingspan), and now there's a J² swimming fic bunny in my head that won't go away.

J1 is a freshman at Michigan, competing at his first NCAA finals against J2, a senior Longhorn who's favored to win the 100m free and was supposed to anchor the 4x100 IM relay. If team and personal issues don't interfere.

Y/N?

I don't really follow the Olympics but I'd totally encourage/beta j2 swimming fic...

I've got drunk!Spencer to write first. And otter!fic! :)

[why-me-why-not.livejournal.com]

I know, but I'm just letting you know I'm okay with it. *g*

I hope to get something accomplished tonight. I'm so fucking lazy.

I am going to have a phenomenally unproductive week (tonight's beer night, tomorrow's The Cab & The Hush Sound, Thursday's Melissa Etheridge), but then I go to Iowa, and I'll take my notebook and hopefully get some writing done.

*adds Mikey/Brendon to the list also*

GRETA!!!! *hearts* I am so so jealous!

I've got finals this week for this term. Fun. Not. Plus work is kicking my ass and Darryl is off this week. I'm meeting everyone at the Avalanche games after class tonight & tomorrow. Thursday is... something. Friday night I'm supposed to go out with Tinsley & Joey (her boyfriend Joey, not my brother's ex-wife Joey), and then Saturday is Billy Currington. And early early Sunday we're leaving. There is wifi, though, so I'll have internet access.

I've got pages and pages written! It's just all longhand and not typed up and I'm supremely lazy.

Mikey/Brendon is a MUST.

I was supposed to write j2 for alli's birthday, but that was Saturday and I forgot... I started it! It's on my phone, actually, b/c I didn't have my notebook when I got bunnied. I totally totally fail. :P

Absolutely. After the medal ceremony they all went back to their rooms and had olympic buttseks with their gold medals hanging around their necks when they weren't used to bind wrists and ankles.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

So, I wasn't GOING to go there with the medals, but since you did... mmm. Yes.

[tonguemastaofjc.livejournal.com]

I saw it.. BOOOY did I see it.. It was like past 3am but I was like "WATCH! MUST WATCH!" and I totally caught what you are saying..

an there was a part where Phelp's ass was just on my TV.. I was like.. "HELLO FRIEND!!" ha!

Umm I want that Northern Downpour (live) cause I'm collecting every one cause it's my favorite song of Panic's right now.. Show me the way sweetie!! ha!

oh and p.s. SOMEONE WRITE THAT AND LET ME READ IT.. k.. k..

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

I've only got the entire hour-long performance, not individual mp3s of the songs. But I'll share that when I get home if you want it.

[tonguemastaofjc.livejournal.com]

well that would be nice and appreciative.. :D :D take your time

It's posted in my next entry. ~65Mb, so it might take a sec to download.

[byandby.livejournal.com]

I don't write fic, but I desperately, DESPERATELY want to see those screencaps.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

Posted! The quality is limited by the fact that they're from the NBC video feed and my laptop monitor, but I put the source link there, if you want to rewatch the video.

[byandby.livejournal.com]

Trust me, that will be okay. :D

[ciel-vert.livejournal.com]

MFY on the Garrett/Michael fic!!!

Uh.. N on the J2 fic by default, b/c I don't read SPN fic, or watch the show for that matter. :)

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

They're just begging to be slashed, aren't they? :)

[chiraljhae.livejournal.com]

OMG, YES! I was totally thinking the same thing while NBC kept replaying the scence. And ditto to what f13tch3r said.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

It's like they WANT us to wear slash goggles. (Now I imagine slash goggles looking like the swimmer's goggles. This is a slippery slope I'm sliding down. Seriously.)

[glendaglamazon.livejournal.com]

You + J2 sports AU = WIN!

That's my opinion on the matter. ;)

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

:) I shall bear that in mind!

I think I would love you forever if you wrote this. Not that you really care about that or anything. *lol*

*hugs*

*g*

It's nice to know that there would be an audience for that fic.

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

It's like my entire flist is slashing the Olympians. I think the only thing saving me is that I don't have an antennae so I can't watch.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

That's what the intarwebz are for. Isn't it?

[ashavahishta.livejournal.com]

I would read the shit out of J2 swimmer fic, omg. And the olympics are so slashy, and so fun.

[asimplechord.livejournal.com]

They are! The diving and wrestling just as good. Basketball players are too manly to hug, though. :(
