Yuletide Reveal

Title: The Cougar Way
For AngeNoir

Fandom: The Losers (2010)
Pairing: Carlos "Cougar" Alvarez/Jake Jensen
Summary: In which Cougar is not a vampire, and things do not go to hell.

Look!  I wrote a story last year!  And it was slash and everything.  I'm pretty happy with it as it is something that I would like to get.  AngeNoir's list of fandoms matched my reading list for the past couple of years, with all of my favorite urban fantasy/paranormal romance universes in her request.  Her kinks also aligned strongly with mine, so I thought 'wow, this will be like writing for myself, and I'm not sure I can do that...'  The story did shrink and move fandoms as the deadline approached, as I always think about more than I can write. :)  I did try to keep some of the urban fantasy/paranormal romance vibe without actually including anything supernatural in it, and I only had time for a very short sex scene. Still and all, I like how it turned out, and that's not something i say all that often.  I pretty much hate my writing when I get done.

Many thanks to Gwyn, who made the story a lot better.    A ton of thanks for that.  Thanks as well to Movies_Michelle,  who gave me a final proofing pass as I made it just in time to the deadline.  You both rock.

I love this youtube series with it's in-depth analysis of camera work. He took a look at Jackie Chan and how to do Action Comedy about a month ago, and I found it really fascinating.

"Jackie Chan - How to Do Action Comedy" (Watch on YouTube)

I recommend all of the videos he's produced, particularly if you are interested in vids. It gives you a lot of options that you may not have thought about for vidding before.
