LJers have discovered the secret of ENTRIES!

[active_apathy]

My day was, again, boring. I was going to wash my dogs today, but it was overcast and antiwarm. The weather seems to have fallen into a pattern: WarmwarmhothothothotHOT.... tired now. Coolcoolcool... better! WarmwarmHOT!

Overall, it's about as fun as BASE jumping with a little paper cocktail umbrella in place of a parachute - ie, not.

In other news, umm... I was bored enough to play the very first of the Civilization games, where diplomacy comes down to...

"GIVE OR WE DESTROY!"
"Destroy? Ha. Pull the other one."
"Oh, ok. We still love you!"
"BFF. Totally."

Apparently, the Romans - led by the miraculously unaging 6000-year-old President Yarr - colonised a whole other planet last year, and the Americans were annihilated by the Egyptians sometime in 1048.

Lastly, I still haven't had any luck on the whole zero-gravity sex thing*. This upsets me some, partly because it's being a pain to write and partly because it delays everyone else's little slices of text. So, what will happen is this: I'll break the rules - just a little bit, but broken all the same - to write other requests, then post the zero-gravity sex when it's actually written. Hopefully, this isn't greatly distressing - shaysdays is taking great pride in the effects of her request for zero-gravity sex**, as can be seen here.

*I maybe could've phrased this better.
**It's hard to put 'request' and 'zero-gravity sex' together in a sentence without that happening.

You need to get this... zero-gravity monkey off your back. Otherwise, you run the risk of being known forever more as the Writer Who Couldn't. Maybe not to the world at large, but in the dark depths of your writerly heart... You will wake at night, dripping in sweat, screaming "BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ANGULAR MOMENTUM?!"

You can do it! I mean, you bravely reached into the cavernous depths of a hollowed-out bear wearing disco pants -- reach just as bravely inside this orbital two-body problem and pull out whatever juicily dripping tangle of limbs you find and write it!

For inspiration, you could, say, read http://www.drizzle.com/~elf/journals/0113_020_000_Floating_Point.html, a furry zero-G sex story by elfs. A sexcerpt:

She felt his erection once again pressed against her belly. She didn't speak a word, but instead pressed him down just enough to get him pointed in the right direction. He got the idea and, holding his cock, positioned it against her cunt. Together, they worked to complete their joining. She felt the head of his cock press against her lips and then make its way into her body. It slid within her until it could go no further. "You..." she gasped. "Wonderful."

"Hot," he agreed. "You know, though," he said, looking into her eyes, "This is supposed to be the hardest way to make love."

"Why?" she asked.

"Because we have to do all the work, both in and out." He chuckled and let her drift downwards until she was at a square angle to him. His hands felt firm on her thighs, but that strength was nothing compared to the firm thrust he gave to his already buried cock, pushing her away from him, and then his arms pulling her back, his cock thrusting into her again. His chest and bellyfur tickled the backs of her thighs; the fur on his hips pressed against her ass.

A-hem.

I get the feeling you're keen to read about zero-gravity sex, and that's fine. Also, the fluid dynamics links are certainly helpful - more so than the furpr0n.

I'm no less committed to writing everything that's requested - there's a pair of silver lamé pants to attest to that - but this one poses particular problems.

As such, instead of letting one difficult request get in my way and horrifically derail the whole process, I mean to quietly ponder the implications while generally letting the whole thing ferment by itself.

While this happens, I intend to be actually *writing* - ie, I plan to get on with other requests, in order, instead of writing *nothing* for the sake of one little rule.

Meh, I'm not all that keen on it in particular; I apologize if the comment came out sounding strident, yours was just one of the first posts I got to this morning and I was still filled with a surfeit of procrastinatory energy and a loathing for getting on with my work day. It was mostly an excuse to find a link to the zero-G blob experiments, which I vaguely remembered seeing quite a while ago -- I don't actually pretend to have anything serious or useful to say about the Unnamed Writing Challenge :)

Fair enough. I think I'm coming close to finding a way to write it, but this one will probably take actual *research* for it to be plausible.

Snowmen and disco pants need no research.

The link to the freefall blobs is useful - it's much, much better than finding some dry piffle about how some obscure principle of mathematics mixed with physics, chemistry and palmistry can tell us just how a water droplet toddles about the place when it doesn't have any pressing engagements with the ground.
