While researching for my second story for the I Write The Song contest I went through the most delicious task: I had Eric's Gracious Plenty model for the "tiny red thing" to wear. And I really couldn't make up my mind which one I like it most. So I decided to make a pool, where you can vote your favorite red male scrap of fabric, 5 of them, one better than the other. Seems like FF changed the order in which it displays the entries in the pool. Hope the description is enough.

Here is the winner, the Red/White Briefs, banner - link.

I am fascinated how writer's imagination can wove different stories and plots around the same characters - like Eric and Sookie.

It’s like witnessing the intricate multiverse theory unfolding.

My deepest gratitude for all the writers that are sharing with the rest of us their energy, time, soul and spirit.

The least we can give back is our reviews and appreciation. Thank you!

Best SVM FF story of all times, in my humble opinion: Left For Dead by the incredible Malanna

Inspirations for the story, beside every day life:

Ch.1 Kelly Family - "Fell in Love with an Alien" music. This is how I envision sportbiker Eric

Ch.2 Peles Castle in Wikipedia; The Domina Villa - pictures the villa and rooms. Forrest in Romania. Traditional food mentioned in this chapter (pictures since the text is in Romanian): ţuică and mici

Ch.3 Eric’s motorcycle - Suzuky ‘widowmaker’ Hayabusa Places: Foişor Castle & Coliba Haiducilor restaurant.

Ch 4 How I see Andrei/Andre.

Ch.6 Zorbing. Also Bungee Jumping at Cheile Râşnoavei - a photo that I like to imagine is Eric jumping and a video where I imagine a certain half naked viking.

Ch.7 Motorcycle airport racing video. Motorcycle stunts video with amazing tricks. The real accident that inspire the cliffhanger at the end of this chapter, news in Romanian.

Ch. 8 Mountain river. Lemon stunt biker showing this well chiseled assets, and performing a stunt.

Ch. 9 Imagine Eric’s house something similar to the Çinili Kiosk, the Tiled Pavilion of the Topkapi Palace of Istanbul.

Ch.10 Eric’s Moroccan chandelier, kitchen furniture, a Tree of life tile mural ceramic design, Magic Flute china, and Villeroy&Boch bath fixtures.

Ch.11 French Foreign Legion troops in parade uniform. Also in training. About liberty of sexual orientation, or lack of it in FFL.

Ch.12 Weeping houses, a video about the beauty of Bucharest's houses that fallen in disgrace of time and people.

Ch.? (future one) Eric's car - Subaru Imprenza

* Blushing Cherry, a F.A.D. outtake. Banner for this outtake - this picture provided delicious inspiration for me.

This stories Andrei.

PG piercing, a foreskin male genital one, and the titanium rattlebell bar.

* LoveHenge, a Sookie/Eric F.A.D. fantasy outtake.

* Red End, depicting how Sookie lost herself in a passion for our favorite vampire. What if he wouldn't have to work for her love? And she wouldn't guard her heart? After all, is passion alone love or attachment?

Two short stories for I Write The Songs contest:

* Love The Way You Lie - a very dark and visceral nightmare, exploring a probable outcome of a Sookie/Bill toxic relationship. Inspired from the Eminem &Rihanna song and video.

* I Love You... Me Neither - a romantic French style lemonade. Inspired by Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg song Je T'aime... Moi Non Plus. English lyrics and about the song here. Beautiful banner made by the lovely Scattered21.
