A Brief Observation on Justin's Hands  
I'm finishing up an assignment that's due in less then one hour, but I need to take a brief break before doing a final proof of it or my head will explode. So I glanced over at my beloved wife [personal profile] happier_bunny's post on [profile] qaf_coffeeclub about the important licking theme in Queer as Folk.


Hey, it's MEDIA ANALYSIS!

And so I, thinking it might stop all flow of blood to clear my head, watched one of the scenes indicated as being a good example of this theme, hotel!sex. And in addition to the important thematic licking, I was reminded of something else.

I spend hours and hours working hard to get all the nuances of my characters right when I write fan fiction. I agonize over it. I may fail, I may succeed, but I really try. I care. I do research, and not all of it as pleasant as watching hotel!sex over and over.

So let this serve as notice to all Brian/Justin fan fic writers: Justin does not have "small hands." Stop saying he has small hands. Stop mentioning his small hands in your stories and sex scenes. In addition to being a little creepy, It's Not. True.

Justin has really big hands. Go watch hotel!sex. Force yourself. Justin puts his hands on Brian's waist while he's licking him (there's that important thematic thing again), and they are large. They really are.

That is all.

Big blue eyes, silky blond hair, little hands, pouty lips, narrow hips, bubble-butt, big cock...sounds like the perfect little sex-kitten to me.

Too bad that's not who Justin is and stories that portray him that way I'm not interested in.

Although I really do think he's pretty.

I think he's pretty, too. It's just that I kind of like the REAL Justin, not the bad!fic Justin. I mean, does real!Justin actually NEED modification to be hot?

I think not.

Yeah, I agree, I like the real Justin too. He's brave, strong, tenacious, some spoiled, some damaged, creative and open to possibilities. He doesn't need modification but I can see myself over-emphasizing the damaged part of him, maybe making him a little darker then maybe he really is, kind of a counter-balance to all the 'sunshine' characterizations out there but I'm pretty sure if I do that, I can count on you to check me on it.

I like your new banner btw

I'm a big old sucker for Justin a well fics, but when I write him, he's always totally strong and together.

I'm going to write for the hurt/comfort challenge, we'll see how I do with this. This one really IS a challenge!
