Daniel Craig is the Devil, and I mean that in a good way

[rispacooper]

From IMDB:  Daniel Craig and Ewan MacGregor to star in film adaption of the novel, "I, Lucifer" with DC as Satan himself and 
Mac as the writer whose body he inhabits on earth. 

For those of us with mercy/God/Devil/redemption kinks, it sounds...promising...


Book description from Amazon: Duncan's last novel, Hope (1998), was about pornography addiction. Since then, he's apparently found God, or rather, the Devil. His latest novel features the Prince of Darkness incarnate in the body of down-and-out writer Declan Gunn (anagram, anyone?), just about to slit his wrists. The apocalypse looms, and God has offered fallen angel Lucifer a second chance at redemption by enticing him with a month of earthly embodiment--an offer he can't refuse, given his taste for cocaine, sexual mischief, and other evil earthly pleasures. In between acts of debauchery, however, Lucifer/Gunn resurrects his literary career and revels childlike in the Earth's simple offerings: tastes, smells, sunsets, London. He muses theological, contemplating free will and the Fall and thinks about--just maybe--getting back on God's good side. Seduced by our diabolical narrator's wicked humor and Duncan's clever conceit, the novel's Christian redemption moral may catch some readers off guard (wasn't this book supposed to be about evil pleasures?), but they likely won't want to put it down. Duncan's witty and perverse, yet somehow life-affirming, Lucifer is powerful indeed.

You are a much braver woman than I am.

I think you could write a Fraser/Victoria that would have me shaking.

its usually the power dynamic of het...for some reason it bugs me with most writers. i get nitpicky. it's like rading slash with that sugary man-cuddles and constant i love yous quality. (or lack of quality)


i have to confess, i have never actually seen the Victoria drama. i know the shooting scene is on youtube. or was anyway. is she truly screwed up or is she more of sociopath with no feelings at all?

Maybe that's why I write guys because I can't stomach too much of the mush (although I always go with the relatively happy ending because, shit, if I want to be depressed, I just need to pick up the newspaper).

Regarding Victoria Metcalf, I think the canon sense if that she's a total sociopath, which makes Fraser's motives even sadder. There's a great speranza story about this where Fraser ends up going to Florida to identify her and goes BERSERK afterward and he and Ray go on a roadtrip of epic proportions where Fraser is humping everything that moves (including Ray). And there are some truly great dialogues between him and RayV (who ends up sort of rescuing them). I wish I could remember the name but it's huge in terms of file size so if you go to her site, you should be able to find it among the smaller fics. Lots of hothot Fraser/RayK sex.

I have total love for the sociopaths. God knows why. (Etienne comes the closes, but not quite. I think he's attached to his sisters more than to anybody else. And in a strange way, I can imaginehim all Caligula about it if you know what I'm sayin')

I have total love for Speranza fic too. :)
