HA! I was *right*!

[kelliem]

Several months back when NCIS aired the first of their 'terrorist' eps, I turned to my housemate and said:

"He's Israeli, he's Mossad, and he's setting up some sort of sting operation against Hamas or Al Qaeda."

And I was right.

So why aren't *I* writing for TV? ;-D

Um, because you're writing the hot smut they won't show on tv, for we thousands of grateful screaming (make that whimpering) fans?

Well, damn. I never expected it, and I am not sure I understand it, plot-wise, even now.

But the shot to the shoulder shocked the hell out of me. I applauded and was appalled, all at the same time.

since i never send feedback

and the opportunity has been presented...

So why aren't *I* writing for TV? ;-D

Because your entirely, too intelligent, Talented, Thoughtful, considerate of/concerned with the characters you choose to write about. You follow a plot line though without just stopping in the middle and leaving it (especially if it is something traumatic/life changing/just freaky)to write something else in that whiplash giving way most tv writers do. You manage to write characters with a consistency and realism not often found (anymore) on tv, as in Liam...uh Greg on C.S.I, You don't insult your readers intelligence, nor do you talk down to the reader. You don't do the completely obvious in your work, you take a fresh approach to things (Fraser not being happy (perfect) in Canada, Hell you wrote a story with Billy Talent that just rocked and totally 'got' that what Joe did was NOT good/happy/something to just overlook, i could go on but...). Your stories can hold the readers interest, and evoke emotion without stooping to blatant manipulation (i know it's a movie but can you say 'Pay it Forward'? Such a completely manipulative ending i actually yelled at the tv ... obvious...stupid...argh!! But a good example of what i mean. i know what i'm supposed to see/feel ramming it down my thought is not necessary.) You humor isn't one reworked fart joke. You have a soul, the way you write the characters feels true to them and it seems that they too have souls.
YOU are FAR too good a writer for tv...
and ... *mumble*... you write really great/hot gay sex (reference to earlier sqick post, and you do it without the constant use of spit for lube, imagine amazing sex and not a lugy to be seen ... *Happy happy sigh*)
And if tv isn't ready for good normal gay characters, trust me they are not ready for you ;D
You are a Far better writer and what you write is Way better than the normal tv fair.
