o.O ...what??

On a related note, your icon says it all. :)

Hahahaha, awesome. I hope it was flavored.

If it's flavored, it should be something that's equally nonsensical: Tang. Or maybe salami. You never hear of meat-flavored lube.

I guess it would be too cheesy to have it be cherry flavored or something else like cinnamon (which would of course be the natural scent of that person)

Gabe rolled his eyes as Tony skidded the shopping trolley around the aisles. He really ought to start doing the grocery shopping alone he thought, skimming the list once more.

“Next aisle, we need toiletries.”

“Lube you mean?”

“Shutup! This is a supermarket! And stop leering like that. We also need toothpaste and shaving cream.”

“Lube it is.”

As Tony scanned the higher shelves, Gabe quickly grabbed their usual brand of shaving cream, it was on a good special this week.

“Dude, we totally have to get this one. It’s bacon flavoured.”

“What?” Gabe looked up. Sure enough, the box of lube his boyfriend was waving in his face claimed to be ‘crispy bacon’ flavoured.

“Put that back!”

“But it’s bacon flavoured.”

“Exactly.”

“C’mon, it’ll be like having breakfast and dessert at the same time.”

Gabe could feel his face flooding with embarrassment. “Put it back and get a normal one.” He snapped.

“Fine, fine, be boring.”

Heading further down the aisle to get toothpaste, Gabe didn’t notice when Tony slipped the bacon flavoured lube into the shopping trolley.

...I don't know if I wanna laugh or be disturbed by "bacon flavoured lube"...

...LOL!! Nope, too awesome to be disturbing! Nice drabble!

Totally slayed me this morning. Much awesomeness ^___^ I died laughing, and worried my laughter would wake my roomie.

I wanted to say 'Bet it tasted like ass' but Tsaiko has already taken that one. I will settle for, 'I bet it tastes like wet dog'.

...

I think I hurled a little.

*LOL!!!* For REAL??? XDDDD

Lol, say whut? Did you even touch any of the books I sent you?

I touched them long enough to set them on fire.

Yes, I am slowly working my way through them, though I'm not reading that Bartimaeus book. I'm still fucking pissed they kill of the guy who summoned him.

For what its worth, Nathanial, the kid who summons him, is the biggest fuck-tard in the world. He treats Bartimaeus like shit, and Bartimaeus is awesome.

But, really, my big problem with those books was the third person to first person to third person switch that went on. I got really confused after a while.

Aha, the hell? I'm not even sure I have words for that. I'm pretty sure if I thought about it for more than five seconds blood would pour from my eyes.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

Wow...

Yeah...people do that with Elves too. NOT OKAY.

ROFL. Sometimes, the only thing you can do is laugh. ^_^. Seconding goblin's comment as well.

*cracks up* That's hilarious! :D

I've read a story similar to that, but it worked because the species of the character was part a completely male race where he played the part of 'life bearer' so it made sense in that world.

This instance makes me go "Huh?"

My only comment is, what is the name of the book, I think I want to read it. hehe :)

Ah yes, I just read this one. And when that part came up, I just said 'WTF?'

I just don't get why they try to play with the male body so much. Men don't produce natural lube. Lordy the only story that was remotely plausible was in Xenobia's orginal fiction where some men were 'life bearers'.

That's it folks.

...It does make me laugh though. ^^

woot! Self-lubricating uke for the WIN! *dies laughing*

o.O

So I take it you've read a lot of eBooks? I'm running out of good slash fic to read, and thinking about buying some. Have you happened to read any of these?

Josh Lanyon's Adrien English, The Nightrunner series (which actually isn't an eBook), Kirby Crow's Scarlett and the White Wolf, Elisa Viperas's Dark Lord Seeks Friendship, Maybe More, Jet Mykles's Heaven and Purgatory, or Emily Veinglory's The Wicca Man: Tongue-Tied, by any chance?

I'm trying to get opinions before spending my horded birthday money. So far, tsaiko has recommended the Nightrunner series. Any you might have encountered?

Thank you!

I know you didn't ask me but I will recommend anything by Lynn Flewelling (Nightrunner) and Elisa Viperas.

Elisa Viperas is also known as Sandra Fuhr and has a brilliant webcomic called 'Friendly Hostility' (http://friendlyhostility.com/), if you're interested.

*butting in*
AAAHH! I love Sandra's comic! I didn't know she wrote, though. I should've, now that I actually think about it... Thanks!

Webcomic! >.< Thank you for adding your two cents! Additional information is ALWAYS welcome.

I like the English books, Nightrunner is good, Scarlet and the White Wolf I liked, the rest of those I do not know, though Emily Veinglory can be a hit or miss type writer.

Thank you! kirby_crow actually saw my entry about this and sent me the first of the series to entice me into buying the rest. ^^ Now to find time...

For Veinglory, which books are the "hits," if you don't mind me asking? I read the excerpt of Dark Lord and it sounds like a very humorous parody of several fairy tales and myths.

You know, I think I lied. I looked through what I have of Veinglory, and I don't recall liking any of them. What's your email address? If you want, I'll send you some of the ebooks I have and actually like.

You weren't the only one to not like Veinglory.

(oops, dark lord was viperas XD)

Oh would you? My e-mail's just my lj user name @yahoo.com

I bought the Dark Lord Seeks Friendship one if you'd like it. (Hee, book exchange!) I have it in .doc and .html if you have a preference.

Thank you for the list. I'm going to try some of those authors :).

Glad to help. If you happen to read any of these in full, mind shooting me a message about your humble opinion? The excerpts I've read from all of these sound pretty good, but an excerpt doesn't necessarily mean that the whole novel will be the same quality. XD

Hi, I'm replying here just in case anyone else is curious. About the books...

With Adrien English, it takes a really good writer to overcome my first person POV phobia so this one got skipped.

Scarlett and the White Wolf has a good plot and excellent characterisation and I'm going to pick up the remaining two as I know what's going to happen.

Dark Lord Seeks Friendship, Maybe More is brilliant and definitely worth buying.

Heaven is basically a PWP.

Half way through The Wicca Man: Tongue-Tied I decided that I really didn't care about the main character's Issues ™ and the vampire romantic interest needed to be deflated and put back in the cupboard.

Hope this helps :).

You are awesome beyond belief! I finally caved and bought the Dark Lord one and I totally agree with you.

kirby_crow sent me a sample of Scarlet, but I still haven't found time to read it. XD

Oh, good--I was about to buy Wicca-man. Thanks so much!

Um...

How much sex do you want in your books? Because Heaven and Purgatory is pretty much all sex... between a famous rock band that decides they are all gay. Heh. Not very believable and not too much plot, but, like I said, if you want sex, its got tons.

WHAT? Really? T^T I sort of wanted those two purely because I was hoping for a long, slow build up with plenty of UST between the two male leads. Do the books have that? Because otherwise, I don't think the author's rather florid prose would do it for. ^^;

Thanks for letting me know! PWPs, much less a novel-length one are NOT my cup of tea.

I was really sad too when I got those books. I was expecting more.

There is plenty of ST but not UST. It's definitely requited.

They do have a little more substance that a pure PWP, but not by much. Eh, I wasn't too impressed.

Thanks for saving me $12! I guess if I ever get really desperate for new reading material, I'll buy the cheaper eBook. XD

*spittake*

*mops Diet Coke from the keyboard*

*laughing*

Oh, that's just sad!

lol whut? XD

Someone has been reading too much yaoi manga and then stealing ideas. Because seriously, self-lubing anuses? They show up all the damn time.

You know, I bet it tastes like ass. XD

Yeah, you can always tell the ones that received their degrees at Yaoi Academy. -__-

That was definitely a wtfh moment. I mean, dude, like the guy didn't know they were going to have sex? Like the author couldn't have had him prepared so that they didn't have to resort to werewolf nature lube as a reason? (Hell, at that point, I doubt lube really needed to be mentioned at all, so I have no idea why she bothered with it. X_x)

Yeah, it was completely random. Everything was fine as was, then suddenly "Oh, we have no lube." "That's okay, you magically make it now?" Some authors, they confuse me so.

WHUT.

...oh man, it's been done already? damn, now I can't use that plot device in the catboy!story I'm currently writing! curses!


...please tell me the story was crack!fic, and not pretending to be serious..? it would help my sanity - whatever's left of it - lots...
