The twaddle continues ......

There are quite a few Guy fics on Wattpad if you are that way inclined, such as this one I rather liked.

Pass the smelling salts, I have just got to a steamy bitBlush Peaches have been referred to, among other things. Deary, deary me!

Hi Boden! Going off subject, what does miniB make of 'Paparazzi'? My DD also loves Lady Gaga, but can't stand that track - has hated it from the first time she heard it.

I don't encourage kiddie music so she has quite eclectic tastes for a 6 yo - loves Rihanna and is quite partial to a bit of Eminem if I can find anything reasonably tame or with unintelligible lyrics!

Thank you flowers. Think I'll just snuggle down here and dream of a northern mill owner dressed in floppy white shirt and cravat with leather gloves and trousers being spied on by MI5 before being stormed by the SAS. Of course any casualties will need a doctor in orange and a gratuitous man in speedos!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/11/2010 22:07

Oyster, does all the fanfic sort of, well ogle him like this one does?

But to paraphrase our honourable founder Cupcakes, they are only saying what we're all thinking, I suppose.
NB Flowers is of course excepted from the above statement.

PrairieOyster · 15/11/2010 22:08

I should have said - there are quite a few RA fics on Wattpad.

Bodenbabe · 15/11/2010 22:13

She doesn't like it either, MrsLN! Me neither - very dull. She currently loves "I Like It Rough" but, thankfully, she thinks Lady Gaga is singing "I give up" :)

Re. fanfic - any Lucas ones? I've never read fanfic before our very own author extraordinnaire but am intrigued now :) Not sure about the idea of RA fanfic though Shock

PrairieOyster · 15/11/2010 22:14

Before there is any misunderstanding can I just say that when I say there are RA fics on Wattpad I mean there are fics featuring RA characters - not the man himself, heavens forbid!!

Bodenbabe · 15/11/2010 22:20

Ah, that is a relief :)

MrsLucasNorth · 15/11/2010 22:20

Bodenbabe - my DD thinks Sex on Fire is Socks on Fire. She has heard Rude Boy by Rihanna once too often though (wonder where Hmm)...
The Gisbourne fan fic isn't bad is it?
I was just getting to a crucial point in the final chapter of GTN when Dh came in from the pictures so that wad that idea stuffed - can't write with other people pattering about Sad

PrairieOyster · 15/11/2010 22:20

Oh, you lovelies there is stacks of RA-character fanfics around the place, including plenty of Lucas ones, indeed!! Many (but by no means all) will have you running for a cold shower.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 15/11/2010 22:21

You misrepresent me, Theresa. One's thoughts are one's thoughts. My reservations are about broadcasting those thoughts when they are about a real person who may not welcome the intrusion. So I am not bothered in the least by the notion of Guy fan fic (although I have no interest in reading it and will rely on you to report back to us) but would find the idea of Mr Armitage fan fic rather troubling. Not for the first time, I would think poor man.

But hey, I'm a mad old bat with a crush on a 190 year old fictional man. What do I know?

Fettle · 15/11/2010 22:22

Just before I drop off - what exactly is fanfic? Where do I find some? And do I want to?

So many questions!!
Night all - don't study too late!!

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/11/2010 22:22

I bet Lucas is very difficult to write. In what I've seen so far he is such an enigma.

May be Guy is too. In this thing I'm reading he isn't totally right to me, but I suppose everyone's take on a RA character is different. However, you do at least have more of an idea what's going on inside of Guy.

Maybe it's best to make up our own characters, inspired by the others. Smile

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 15/11/2010 22:22

Phew, PrairieOyster! Thanks for the clarification.

OP posts:
Fettle · 15/11/2010 22:24

Also. Thanks for welcoming me back! It's been emotional fun as ever!!Grin

PrairieOyster · 15/11/2010 22:26

Fanfic = fan fiction. Stories written by fans about characters created by others. You can find it for most popular TV series/movies/books etc.

I'm starting to feel like I am corrupting you lot!!

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 15/11/2010 22:26

Lucas was indeed a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.

OP posts:
Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/11/2010 22:30

Fanfic is fiction written by fans of a particular character or TV show or practically anything, including Jane Austen novels.

Maybe google would locate some, I haven't looked properly , as I am too busy enjoying this thread.

Flowers, all ogling is perpetrated on fictional beings, have no fear. I am sure we are quite clear in our heads about whom we are thinking. If I have confused you, I do apologise.

PrairieOyster · 15/11/2010 22:30

The thing about fanfic is that there is likely to be a receptive audience for your work, and the character development is there for you to build on.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 15/11/2010 22:32

Really? If you passed Mr Armitage in the street would you not even turn and look back at him?

OP posts:
Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/11/2010 22:34

And I was only teasing you, because of your fondness for teacups and lavender-scented hankies

Theresaholeinyourmind · 15/11/2010 22:36

Obviously I wouldn't be able to stop myself, Flowers. But I'd try to make sure he didn't notice before I gawped.

ASmallBunchofFlowers · 15/11/2010 22:36

Personally, I would turn back, gaze in awe at the Proper Actor who brought Mr Thornton onto my telly screen and then walk into a lamppost.

OP posts:
PrairieOyster · 15/11/2010 22:37

There are plenty fanfic sites about. I think there is some Spooks and North and South fanfic on fanfiction.net. Also Wattpad as I mentioned.

There is a lot of RA related fics on Livejournal too, if you look around. But I'm afraid that much of the best RA stuff is hidden away in fan forums that you have to join or be invited to join.
