*dies* Troll! Troll in the coffin! OH ANNE RICE NO.

I found some pictures of me from 1998, listening to my first slash sex scene being read aloud.

Note the red face and the full wine glass. Such a newb. *g* Although I have to admit -- if someone were to read my sex scenes aloud now I'd probably be just as tipsy and just as red.

"Oh, the preciouss, we takes it our handssses and we rubs it and touchess it, gollum....no, Smeagol musst not touch the preciousss, the master said only he can touch the precioussss.... bad masster, he doess not know the precious like we does, no, gollum, and we wants it, we wants it hard in our handses, yesss..."

Some vintage "Smeagol/Gollum slash" from Neil Gaiman.

Don't much care for the "training wheels" remark, but I'll overlook the condescension on this occasion, in honor of the masterfully hysterical if inaccurate example of slash above, and the fact that he's not overtly hostile. Dunno, though, sounds more like Gollum/Frodo slash to me if Frodo's been the only one touching the precious, bb... My beta would have caught that right off the bang. ;)
