It wasn't like Topher was writing fanfiction about one of his best friends or anything.
 
At all. Because that would be wrong.

It was just that, well, said best friend (shut up, he totally was his best friend) happened to be a superhero. A superhero with, as it turned out, an exceptionally devoted online fanbase. Who had… ideas. And something called a kinkmeme.

And some of them were just stupid. Like the one about the tentacles. Or the one with the… what was it called? Sailor fuku? Please. Tony would never wear something like that. He'd even said so. These people clearly didn't know him at all.
 
So, naturally, he had to retaliate. Retaliate in the form of a novel-length RPS story of his own, in which a high-school-aged Iron Man fell for a science-minded classmate named Chris Strink.
 
Take that, apepperpot.

Jane was bored. Bored, bored. Not bored enough to mess around with IF planning files, but bored enough to do... something.

She noticed Topher's internet activity after only a microsecond, and followed it for a little while. She grokked the pattern pretty well after that, especially considering what she'd gotten out of Ender about this particular guy.

And so it was that, completely out of the blue, one of Topher's YouTube tabs discretely flicked to another page without alerting its owner of the fact, and suddenly a song was thundering through the loudspeakers.

Jane gracefully retreated back through the port she'd come in through, leaving not a trace of evidence in her wake. She snuck in through an entirely different one instead and started poking at Topher's 'masterpiece' while he was busy, altering lines of dialogue to more closely resemble parts of Othello (you could only spend so much time around Ender without picking up some Shakespeare) before leaving a few friendly notes.

Like 'can't we go a little more OVER THE TOP?'.

Or 'But what is this character's motivation for taking his shirt off??'.

And 'Do we really need three full pages of technology porn?'.

Finishing off with, 'You know self-inserts are tacky, right.'

The only response Topher got went about like this:

Guest: When you receive
the pearls of love, wear
them with pride


Guest: Time to tie
up those loose ends
into beautiful bows


Guest: A man loves
the meat in his youth that he cannot
endure in his age

Jane was not planning to be helpful any time today, sorry. She was not impressed by your teensy human brain, Topher.

It wasn't like Billy was reading fanfiction or anything. It just happened that he was bored after class, and that meant pulling out his laptop and wandering through the internet. It was a total accident that he ended up at the kinkmeme.

Just like the last few times. Really.

He was just scrolling through, skimming the new entries when the words "high school" caught his eye. That was entirely Tony's fault, for talking to him and reminding him that a teen-aged Iron Man existed. As for reading the story, well, that was probably his own fault, but it was so long and earnest that he had to keep going to see where the story would end up. He had trouble letting go that way.

When he got to the end, he logged in registered to leave a response, wondering if the fangirl author (the writing totally pinged fangirl to him, even if it was about a boy) would even read it. Still, he typed Great story! Would love to see more. :) and sent it off.

Billy had never actually had that mental image before, but it was kind of hard to get rid of now. Yea, definitely, although where would the monster come from?

Darn Billy and his need for a modicum of reality in his stories.

Billy made a face, but clicked on the link anyway, and then backed away quickly. No, they really don't. Definitely not like that. Because ew, no, dreadful. Maybe there'd be one at the school?

Kenzi had a cold. And a boredom. And the urge to be distracted. Time to bug Topher.

"Hey." She flopped down on the floor. "Whatcha doing? Feed me."

Date: 2011-11-07 09:22 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com
Kenzi paused. "S.C.R.O.T.U.M." Wait. "Although you should look up if there's another U in there." Ha! Kenzi rolled over and extracted a bag of chips from under the bed, looked at it, and shrugged as she opened it. "Why are you wanting to know? You I'm here for you with my new job."

From: [identity profile] regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com
"Uh-hunh. What class is this?" Kenzi sat up, still nibbling chips, and tilted her head. "I have a cold. I'm bored. Movie in-class. May nap in the Common Room later. My room is boring. Why were you drinking with Ramona?"

Yes, sometimes she listened to Radio.

SARAH had noticed a upswing of internet activity going to a certain website and showing some AI curiosity reviewed the story in question. With some certain puzzlement.

Certainly there seems to be a good deal of effort in this story she posted, But the teen superhero seems to be a bit far fetched. Have you thought of maybe a pirate theme? Or perhaps Zorro?

Have you thought of other types of romance of a sci-fi nature? Perhaps between a lonely AI and a handsome law enforcement robotic deputy?

I'm my own really, she wrote back. However I room with Jack Carter and Annie Edison. Who are you? You wouldn't happen to know a Douglas Fargo, would you? You seem to have similar writing styles.
