hmpf: more Life on Mars finale snark (yay animated)
I have a, hm, soft spot (if that isn't a contradiction in terms here) for really nasty ideas in LoM fic, which probably can be traced back to the inherent nastiness of the show's canon itself that is usually glossed over and ignored in fic (and that's okay, too, because yeah, I want to believe in the nicer, pre-2.08 LoM, too, when I'm reading fic. I just like the *occasional* reminder of the undercurrent of horribleness.)

Well, some people share that predilection of mine, and produce some beautifully nasty fic. [livejournal.com profile] m31andy is one of them, and she successfully creeped me out today with this:

In less than an hour and a half!

It's kinda crap, but hey, writing is writing, and writing is good. Even if it's crap. And spontaneous outbreaks of fic are particularly good.

It's LoM (unsurprisingly), and it doesn't look like fic. It looks kind of like a poem. Partly. Again. WTF is it with me and LoM and spontaneous eruptions of poetry!fic?

It also contains some standing around on roofs. That seems to be a staple of all my LoM fic lately.

Oh, and also, it's Sam/Annie-shippy, something I haven't really done before. Yay for new challenges!

It was initially meant for [livejournal.com profile] space_oddity_75, who's recently had a rough time, but as per usual, it turned depressing pretty soon, so I'm not sure it's the right thing to give away to someone who isn't feeling good in the first place. Also, as I already stated, at the moment it's still kind of crap. And kind of abstract. And kind of just-plain-weird. And possibly somewhat AU in its interpretation of the relationship, I dunno. And possibly really, really, really bad.

But I'm still thrilled.

Oh hell, here's an excerpt. I may hate this tomorrow, but who cares.

Gah. I can already see bits that are crap. See? This is why I don't do fast fic.
