not only do I not understand WHY it's a secret, I don't even understand the secret...

...I think the OP means they find it easy to write that guy from Top Gear? I think.

OP is not good at dialogue, but they feel that they're really good at capturing Jeremy Clarkson's vocal rhythms and tics. And it's a secret because Jeremy Clarkson is awful and everyone hates him (or at least he's controversial).

OP means the only character they can write well is Jeremy Clarkson.

Jeremy Clarkson is one of the presenters from Top Gear and is a major polarizing force because of his regressive politics and generally being a grumpy, backwards dinosaur. (It wouldn't be a big deal if not for the fact that his salary is paid by Britain's TV tax.)

It's a secret because Jeremy Clarkson is a cunt!

Very well put.

Also because obviously the secret writer writes (potentially a lot) of RPF with Jeremy Clarkson. LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

OP Yup. Few years ago Top Gear RPF was one of the best fandoms around. Everyone was a bit mad, we knew it, people had fun. No one gave a shit. (shrugs)

Well then youcan write some Carson/car action. Ahh, if only you could write the other TG presenter's voices, how many fics you could have written!

OP

Isn't that a rite of passage for Top Gear fandom? Heh.

Hammond and May are relatively easy. Apparently middle aged geezer, is my natural writing style.

*forgive all the errors in the previous message. It has been a very, very long day.

Curtainly!
I hope a bit of TG fics'd help make it better. What else is fandom for?

I find writing Jeremy difficult because I can't pull of witty in my writing; it's great that you can!

Certainly!

This secret made me giggle.

OP

Excellent...

Then I love your work! I miss the active days of TG fandom. Now it's just the same gifsets on tumblr and I like them but I miss the fic and the meta.

Well, I'm colour me half jealous and half wanting to request a fic where he's bashing Piers Morgan.

Ah, Piers Morgan

the only media personality who is even more of a shit than Clarkson

Close contest. Very close.

If you haven't already joined up to TopGearSlash on LJ I highly recommend it. Most of the fic is in their memories and sorted by author. Authors I can particularly recommend: amywolf, rionaleheart, halotolerant. :)

I can't stand this fucking asshole. Sorry, OP.

OP More than understandable, anon. He is a complete dick. Fun to write, but still.

AYRT

Ha. I bet I would enjoy reading your Clarkson far more than I would listening to the actual Clarkson. You seem cool :)

AYRT well thanks, anon. I appreciate that. :)
