Are We Having Fun Yet?, scene-in-progress

Scene from a TBD later chapter that I absolutely had to write. Flash inspiration came from driving around on a Saturday night.

Premise is that everyone's favorite (formerly) drug-addled artiste has a flash of withdrawal and Stevie has to clean it up.

( Read more... )

Finally, as promised, Colt and Lucas (which needs a bloody title, but I'll do it later). Uhm... long. Rish. Riddled with sex, drugs, foul language, and adolescent attitude problems.

Also note that the cut text is so much more amusing than the actual screenplay.

( Shit. I don't care if she's a drag queen, I'd so hit that. )
