Connotations

[louiselux]

So, where did the week go? I'm off to connotations in a couple of hours. Slash, sea and... um... more slash! I haven't even really had time to get properly excited yet and my packing last night was pathetic. I am pretty sure I have forgotten something crucial, but I did manage to pack an outfit (complete with slingbacks!) for the Moderately Tidy Dinner on Saturday.

Also, I have not had time to get any lychees or limes for the planned champagne cocktails. And I forgot to put polish on my toenails. Oh noes.

Anyay, here is a question for you to mull over while I am away: why is there not more Kenren/Tenpou porn?

But in that case, where's the laid back and comfortable porn? *yearns*

I think they are hard to write though, and the lack of official translations doesn't help. It makes me feel less confident about tackling them, in any case.

Laid-Back and Comfortable are hiding in the backseat behind Angst and Snark. They occasionally venture out long enough to beg for smoke breaks and meat buns, but are easily driven back by the Fan of Eye-Catching Melodrama.

The lack of official translations can actually be very helpful, if you're willing to mess around with canon. ^,^
No, I think the real problem is that nothing effing happens in heaven, Konzen's a pain, Litouten's often overlooked, and the Tenpou/Kenren/Goujun triangle has been done so well, and in such a serious and highflown style, that people are intimidated.
You so do not need to be intimidated. (scoff)

Heee! That is a very very sweet thing to say and I am extremely flattered. :D

I think you are right about those various problems - plus all the political machinations that I do not even pretend to properly understand (and this is really where the lack of offical translations is felt) and they are all so bloody hard to write too.
