I always imagine I've been peer-pressured into singing karaoke, but this is happening in a parallel universe where I'm a better singer.

This is so cute :)

I don't think I've ever imagined it as the characters singing to each other (duet style), but I've definitely had the songs play as the theme song/part of the soundtrack for a scene of fic I'm trying to write.

I hope you find a fun cosplay partner to do this with you!

grab an obliging friend and do it for tiktok/instagram, that shit is big there. it will be cute and fun and you'll get likes and maybe even meet some fellow fans you can squee with.

as a frequent judge, stage assistant, and director of cosplay shows at cons, however, I beg of you never to do this on stage. Judges hate those skits but can never say so because they have to be polite and encouraging to all competitors. They haaaate them. They usually go on too long, there isn't anything to judge so they don't really score well in competition, and it's usually only interesting to fans of the pairing, which in any given audience might be three people at best. I've heard the groans behind me when I'm at the table putting my poker face on. Online, it's much easier to have fun with it and reach the fandom, and you get instant gratification. Win-win-win.

I submitted a very similar secret many years ago! Glad to see the classics still going strong!

Nice! I think it might be Cary Grant for me.

I met John Astin at a convention in Long Island years ago, and have a photo with him from that day which I treasure. Not only did I love him as Gomez, but he was genuinely the nicest person I met at the convention. Even though he was much older than any other actor there, he happily got to his feet and asked if I'd like a photo with him, which I was not going to ask him to do due to his age. He really seemed happy to be there and happy to meet fans. What a cool guy!

OP, I love you

[greghousesgf]

He's great!

This is totally fair, OP.

Thank you, thank you, secret maker, for making my secret! I posted it late and wasn't sure anyone had seen it. You rock! ❤

Same. It was fun and funny. Was it a masterpiece? Nope. But very few films are and there's nothing wrong with that.

Same. If I think too much about the fallout from his actions and decisions and how we're for some reason supposed to be okay with it because it's Tony, I want to scream. Good riddance.

Tbh general etiquette applies: make it about the fic, and not about you.

"That was so hot, this or that scene was so sexy, character was so sexy in this, etc." = mostly about the fic, and fine. "Let me describe in detail what effects this had upon my genitalia, and what I did to myself in response" = mostly about you, not necessarily welcome, TMI

Immortal romances

[(Anonymous)]

I'm a huge fan of immortal/human romances, and I have a particular soft spot for vampire romances. It's just a trope I enjoy. At the same time, part of me just Doesn't Get It from the immortal's POV. Example: I know Twilight/Vampire Diaires/etc are made for teen girls, so teen girls are the protagonists. But it just makes no sense why someone that old would be interested in dating a teenager (especially since sex isn't on the table a lot of the time, so you can't even say it's a dirty old man thing). Even if we age the protagonist up to, say, 30, why on Earth would a 100+ person find them interesting? Anybody got book recs where this is done really well, or just thoughts about doing it well?
