two things i hadn't known about co-writing

[schmerica]

A. While the actual amount of story seems to be proceeding in a fairly simple formula of "length-of-pearl-o-story + length-of-nifra-story = total-length", the amount of porn in said story seems to be ... well. There seems to be rather frightening exponential growth going on, there.

B. There is no danger like that of friends who bounce and go "Oooooh. That's a great idea."

See, now you've gotten this really vague memory in my head about someone talking about Britney Spears and saying something about her being even hotter if you thought she could do algebra. Only I have NO IDEA what I'm remembering this from. A lj? A story? A webpage? I got nothing. Anyway.

Feel free to share your Ray math thoughts.

Actually, I was talking about popslash boys. I think Justin and Lance. And how somebody figured out - Synchronik, in On the Bus #17 or so - that the hottest thing they can do is math.

Actually, no! I remembered what i was thinking of -- it was this really old SV wip of Caroline Baker's, here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/linabean/9620.html

Clark fumbled a little for the zipper. It wasn't as easy without both hands. "Lex, what are you thinking about?"

"Mm," Lex said. "Do you think Britney Spears knows how to do algebraic operations?"

Clark paused. "What?"

"I mean, just simple ones," Lex said. "Nothing complicated."

Clark didn't say anything.

"I just think she'd be even hotter if should could, you know?" Lex said a little dreamily.

Clark closed his own eyes for a moment, then shook his head roughly and looked at Lex. Lex was still just sitting there. Apparently happy to contemplate the diva of pop in spectacles and her hair in a bun while Clark held his dick.

"Lex," Clark said sharply.

Lex's eyes opened. "Yeah?"

"Take your pants off," Clark said. "...What's wrong with you?"

"...You asked what I was thinking, Clark," Lex said as he stood up and quickly got rid of the pants.

So, yes. Your comment made me think of that.
