Really, do you know of anything else I ought to read to further adjust my perceptions?
I play Bashir (hense the icons), on a community with my friend Xan on Livejournal. If you want, you can join our little community and read the GarakBashir post. We only have one so far, and it's not yet finished, but I like the build up in the beginning (taking place after Garak's book, so you may want to read that too?). We role-play GojyoHakkai too so that's always something... keep in mind we do porn porn and more porn with some story stuffed in on the side, but some of our friends like to read it :D bcsh, and I would certainly approve of you reading! It's kinda like, what I do instead of writing fics... though I still try. ::scratch head:: Eventually we'll RP GojyoHakkaiKanan stuff too.
I'm a type who could have played Garak without a problem, or Hakkai, but Xan is more Garak then she is Bashir, so I had no problem with slipping into the Dear Doctor.
...I can't quite figure out if my mind is recoiling in squeamishness at confronting the fact that of course Garak has anatomy or if it's trying not to drool over the idea that it should be very like Goujun's. Probably a bit of both. Either way, it makes me squirm. ^_^;
hahaha... You're in the "need to break-in" mode. Like a new shoe. The book will seriously help, as Garak speaks of his past which did have some passionate points (as well as his passion for his 'friendship' with the Dear Doctor).
Garak reminds me of... what may happen if Goujun and Hakkai had a love child. Note: I say Hakkai instead of Tenpou because I relate to Hakkai being much more tortured then Tenpou, and Garak is a very tortured character. The personality of Hakkai - smile even though it hurts, kill without remorse, slaughter hundreds without thinking, and make sure to serve your lover breakfast in the morning. And Goujun... because of the physical aspects. Unusual, alien, reptile-like. Ah, Cardassians... my passion.
I mean...it's just...there's such a...a-- *waves hands* Them. The two of them, each of them, there's so much to love - I can't seem to articulate, but having crossed this threshold, I find it very happy-making. >_< I'd like to find more, enough to pull me in to the point where the sex ceases to make me squidgy. Y'know?
Come now, Bashir is a very sexual man. There's no way he'd keep Garak out of his bed once then hopped in. ;) I can see you leaning towards Garak's psychology, more restraint, but what would happen if the tailor gave in.... mwa ha ha ha ha...
Really, do you know of anything else I ought to read to further adjust my perceptions? I'd be grateful for any further recs before I start searching blind and being scarred by copious amounts of the inevitible badfic. ^_^
Most fic I liked in-general, but there was nothing that truly stood out in the crowd for me. So ultimately I'd recommend Robinson's book, and maybe reading my RP session might help. Hopefully. If you don't dislike the way Xan and I play them. We try to be as IC as possible...
