Brothers, booze, bonding, and banter.
You just got schooled: Wally West style.

I really love this pose and angle. Never enough Kon in my life. ♥
When I first starting writing you with Dick a couple of days ago, you were being really bitchy; as it wasn’t the mood I was going for, I decided to scrap it and start over.
The second time around you’re being really, really adorable. Not only is this set post-Crisis, it’s post-Red Hood, Jase. You’re aware of that, right?
I’m not sure I know what to do with you. I mean, I’m staring at this rough draft trying not to imagine the ginger circus kid in that awful outfit. Is this your retaliation? I chastise you for being too bitchy and you give me a complete one-eighty?
I guess there’s nothing left but to edit in some attitude. You do this shit to me on purpose, don’t you?
And this is why I don’t plan when I sit down to write. Because they don’t respect me listen to me, anyway.
That Ewan McGregor was the cutest goddamn thing ever in his role as Phillip Morris in I Love You Phillip Morris.
I’m always a little gun shy when it comes to gay movies. I understand that it’s a part of our history, but I’m not always in the mood for the coming out story, the AIDS drama, or the soap-opera-that-is-our-life formula that we so often get handed. I’ve lived them. Multiple times. I’ve been there for the sadness and the drama and the death and the rejection and sometimes I just want a nice, sweet romance dammit.
This movie delivered. I was a little shocked. I’m ambivalent toward Jim Carrey at the best of times and wasn’t sure if this was going to fall into the the slapstick genre where I spend the entire film wondering if the audience is laughing with me or at me.
But this was so sweet and adorable and awkward and funny. I was surprised. Very, very pleasantly surprised.
Also, Ewan McGregor was the cutest frigging queer I’ve seen portrayed since Kevin Kline in In and Out. Both the boyfriend and I agree—we just wanted to take him home.

Thanks to everyone who wrote in! The majority has spoken. I guess I need to write more Dick/Jason, huh? ;)
Alright, then. One Dick/Jay coming right up…
I need to write something small to work the cobwebs off my fingers and I’m stuck between a few options, so I thought I’d put it up for a vote. If you’re interested in participating, please reply to this with one of the listed couples and a choice of one of the two opening lines. I’ll leave it up for an hour or two, then tally the vote and go from there. :)

Dear Mr. Black,
I have to ask about your writing process, I am sorry but I simply have to.
When you write do you do so formally, such as outlining ideas, or do you rush right in and just let the characters write themselves?
Questioningly,
Rice
