Holy redesign, Batman!

Just posted a reply and Live Journal scared me! I'm totally lost now with their site redesign! LOL Had to go through three menus before I could figure out where the "advanced posting" option was! This is going to take a LOT of getting used to, I'm telling you!

I go sleep now I think... is early... but I feel like crap. I really want to write a little... don't think that's going to happen though. Darnit. Poor Obi... I left the snuggley little Padawan in a very bad place...

I don't know if you're into RPS at all, but if you are, and here's a cute Viggo/Orlando fic that I think you'll love!

Of Chicken Soup and Kleenex (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ALVOslash/message/246)

I'm not really into RSP... but this is too tempting... think they'll mind me registering for the group to read the fic and then unregistering again? heehee

Thanks much! *G*

I don't think they would mind/notice at all! But if you like, I can just email a version of it to you :o) And this is very light on the slash - just some sweet words and cuddling - G-rated. I thought it was the cutest fic when I read it!

Got it- thanks much!!!
What a cuuuuuute story! Even if author used 'Orli' a liiiiiittle too much for my taste, that's certainly a minor complaint in the grand scheme of the fic.
Awwwww... SO cute! Viggo not wanting to get up and wake him so sitting there for 3 hours *G* And coming by with chicken soup and tissues and making him feel all better... awwwwwwwwwwwwww

And I loved the beginning *G* Mmmmmmm gotta love these rainy sequences...Although there are certainly enough moments in the battle where Aragorn and Gimli are away from Legolas so they could have filmed though... but hey, made for a sweet fic, I'm not complaining. Poor little sneezy actor *G* I loved the ending. heehee! I'll stop rambling now, huh? Niiiice fluffy fic :-)

It took me awhile to get used to how often he's called "Orli" in all the fics. It seems to be his real-life nickname and they're trying to keep it 'real'... but yeah, I found it strange at first.

>Awwwww... SO cute! Viggo not wanting to get up and wake him so sitting there for 3 hours *G* And coming by with chicken soup and tissues and making him feel all better...

*l* I know! It was such a sweet scene. I love the comfort parts!

>And I loved the beginning *G* Mmmmmmm gotta love these rainy sequences...

Yup *g* They make wicked thoughts come to mind!

>Although there are certainly enough moments in the battle where Aragorn and Gimli are away from Legolas so they could have filmed though...

I had the exact same thought! But like you, I'm not complaining!

>I loved the ending.

Me too *g* Maybe I should email the author and suggest a sequel?

>Niiiice fluffy fic :-)

I'm in a fluffy fic mood :o) I tried a few angst ones but I really can't handle them anymore! I'll take cute comfort fics any day!

Exactly!! :-)

As for Orli- I don't mind excessive use of it on webpages or in dialogue. It's when it's in narration so much that it starts to feel weird. I'm trying to think of an example that's not star wars since you're not familiar with that... hrm... Well, it's like if I'd used the name 'Moony' for Remus constantly throughout a fic in narration... just doesn't feel right to describe a person's actions and things through their nickname all the time. But, certainly in this case, I'm not very familiar with the fanon so it's not my place to say. And in all, it's certainly a very cute nickname.

I've been working myself to death on this horrible set of star wars fics where my poor Obi-Wan is raped and tortured... after dealing with that all day, this sort of fluffy fic was VERY well enjoyed! And there's NOTHING better in my book than a fluffy, sneezey hurt/comfort fic with two very close, cuddley sort of guy friends. Doesn't have to be remotely slashy to me, but just a sweet comforting hug makes me sigh happily and want to snuggle them both to death. But Orlando sneezing... yeah... *G* even better *G*
