Title: Unexpected POV Snippet
Author: [personal profile] gmtaslash
Rating: Er. R?
Notes: We were considering (read: being utterly bemused by) what to produce for Experimental Writing. We reckon the snippet under the cut counts as experimental. If anyone can figure out what it's about and what the protagonist is, we will be very impressed. A hint: it's, er, the sort of thing we generally write about.



And then there was light, light so bright, reaching deep into the endless dark of night that had been my world. A chasm opened in the ceiling, and beyond I could see! I had never seen before, ensconced in the warm darkness, but the colours assailed me, almost too bright to bear. Then they were eclipsed, blocked by I knew not what. It was large, and throbbing, and its shape was familiar. Perhaps it wanted to be friends? I had never had a friend before.

It advanced into my abode, seeking the warm and succulent depths. I embraced it, this friend, this lover. We would never be parted.

But lo! I was misled, for a moment later it retreated. Had I offended it in some way?

...

And then it was gone, leaving me bereft and alone. But I knew it would return to me one day, my errant love, for it had left its mackintosh behind.

OH GOD.

The protagonist is an asshole. Literally. Making friends with a penis, which accidentally left a condom behind.

Also, I need to go scrub my brain with bleach now, thanks.

'Experimental Writing' is apparently about taboos.

Did we pass?

Well, it was a turd, technically, but you were very close.

AH. The *protaganist* is a turd. Right. I thought for a moment you meant the Friend was a turd, and I was stuck on 'why do turds have mackintoshes?'

Ah, I wondered about the "familiar shape" part. Argh.

I am laughing so hard I can barely type. Trojie, you are insane, and far more hilarious than should be allowed. How do you come up with this stuff? ...Write more of this?

The line about the macintosh is especially win.

However, the subject is not as hard to figure out as you seem to think it would be. (Quite possibly because it's what you usually write about.)

[livejournal.com profile] tea_fiend wrote it, I just cheerleaded and sporfled at her :P

I'm glad, for one, that it's not that hard to figure out, because that means a) it's not incomprehensible and b) the fact that I understood it when she presented it to me does not mean that I'm so far beyond dirty-minded it's not funny.

I did think the hint might give it away a bit too much. Ah well.

And I could not resist the mackintosh. More is in the planning stages.

As for where it came from? *scrolls up through chat*

Me: oh hey, how's this for experimental? 2000 words of prose, with no punctuation, obviously, from the perspective of something utterly off the wall in a gay sex scene?
Trojie: *bitches about the way Experimental Writing module does not seem to believe in punctuation or capital letters*
Me: [snippet as above in its entirety]

...Hmm. No clues as to the thought process there. I'm at a loss. I blame my brain. It is diseased.

No problem. I'm just glad that I've seen worse things and that my delicate mind wasn't scarred for life.

I howled with laughter as soon as I could get somewhere private.

Well done.

So far the reactions seem to be balanced between 'ARGH!' and 'SNORT' ... interesting

I'm smiling...somewhat helplessly, but I still want to bang my head on the desk.

Given it's supposed to be all challengey of boundaries or some such guff, that's probably to the good.
