Wordplay (Writer/Editor AU)
To: Jared Padalecki From: Jensen Ackles Re: Once Bitten, Twice High chapters 4-8 Jared, Here are my notes on chapters 4 through 8. 1. In chapter 4, scene 2, the cock ring disappears after two pages. Either fix the continuity or remove it entirely. 2. In chapter 5, scene 1, please tone down the purple prose. “His eyes, a beautiful jade green that looked even greener in candlelight, shone with mirth.” For one thing, no man as butch as Cade would ever notice that. For another, no one has eyes like that in real life. Either make it realistic or lose it. 3. In chapter 6, scene 3, a door-mounted sex swing would not be capable of holding a six-foot-three-inch man as muscular as Cade. Realistically, a man that size with that musculature would weigh between 180 and 190 pounds. My research suggests that only a swing on a freestanding frame would hold someone that size. You could put Ethan in it or cut the swing entirely. You might consider a sex ramp with wrist and ankle restraints. 4. In chapter 8, scene 4, please remove or replace the word “cockslut” with something less degrading. That’s all for now. Please get your revisions to me by Friday. Thanks, Jensen To: Jensen Ackles From: Jared Padalecki Re: Re: Once Bitten, Twice High chapters 4-8 1. Okay, I’ll give you that one. 2. You totally do, and I noticed it when I first saw you. 3. The website I checked said it would hold up to 300 pounds. Want me to buy one and test it? I’m taller, but I weigh 185. 4. Isn’t “slut” only degrading to women? —Jared To: Jared Padalecki From: Jensen Ackles Re: Re: Re: Once Bitten, Twice High chapters 4-8 1. Thank you. 2. You’re exaggerating. Quite a bit. 3. A link to the website will be sufficient. 4. Who do you think your main audience is? Lose the term or lose the sentence; I don’t care which. To: Jensen Ackles From: Jared Padalecki Re: Re: Re: Re: Once Bitten, Twice High chapters 4-8 1. You’re welcome. 2. Only about the candlelight. I’ve only seen you under the crystal chandelier in the Hilton ballroom, but I imagine the lighting is similar. We could always go for a candlelight dinner so I could be sure… 3. https://www.extremerestraints.com/sex-swings_170/dluxe-entry-love-sling-with-seat_6706.html 4. Fine. You win. I’m serious about dinner. Call me. 512-555-9796 Yours, Jared To: Jared Padalecki From: Jensen Ackles Re: Your proposal Jared, As your supervising editor, I am forbidden from dating a subordinate. With apologies, Jensen To: Jensen Ackles From: Jared Padalecki Re: Re: Your proposal Jensen, I’d much rather have Kim as my editor and you as my romantic partner than the other way around. Love, Jared Text from: 512-555-6243 Jared, it’s Jensen. I thought about what you said. Where did you have in mind for dinner? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) How about my house? I’ll order in. You like sushi, right? Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) How’d you know that? I like Nanami for takeout/delivery. I usually get Sushi B and a Paradise Roll. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I have my ways. 😉 Come to my place around 7. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Should I bring anything? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) How about some wine? You probably know all about what kind of wine goes with fish. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Are you implying that I’m a snob? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m implying that you are responsible adult and I’m a guy who has nothing but beer cans and mustard in his fridge. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m not dating a frat boy. I got that out of my system in college. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m not a frat boy. I’m just a lazy slob who works at home and has no one to impress. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m starting to think this is a bad idea. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) The house gets professionally cleaned every Monday. I promise it’s not toxic. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Well, that’s reassuring, at least. You live alone? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I have dogs, but no roommates. We’ll have the place to ourselves. We have assigned parking, though, so you’ll have to look for a visitor spot. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I can do that. See you soon. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Can’t wait! Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m outside your door, I think. You’re in 3306, right? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Be right there! Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) See, I was right about your eyes. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) You couldn’t wait till I got up to tell me that? You had to text me and wake me up? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) It’s almost 11:00. I waited long enough. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Where are you? Downstairs? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I made breakfast, Rip Van Winkle. I’ve got waffles and bacon in the kitchen. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’ll be down in a few minutes. Walking is not the easiest thing to do right now. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I told you the sex swing would hold. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I only weigh 178. But you were right. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) You were so fucking hot like that. I’ma have to rewrite that scene later. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Your dog is humping my leather jacket. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’ll be right up! Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m not exactly thrilled with having my likeness appropriated for your vampire character. However, if you really want to rewrite the entire book to make Ethan look and act like me, I can’t stop you. But you will owe me. Big time. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m free on Saturday once I put the finishing touches on chapters 9-12. I’ve gotta have them in Kim’s Dropbox by noon. How about Justine’s? Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Justine’s? That’s a little fancy for you, isn’t it? You’d have to shave, and brush your hair, and wear something other than flannel. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I can rock a formal vest and tie like a fucking GQ model, I’ll have you know. We’ve got reservations at eight. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Should we meet there, or should I pick you up> Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Meet there. I’ll be tempted to just throw you down and fuck you on the couch if you show up at my house in that suit you wore to my last launch party. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I rented that suit. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) For shame! Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Editing gay romance novels isn’t exactly a lucrative endeavor. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Who uses the word endeavor in a fucking text message? Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) English majors who graduated magma cum laude from Dartmouth. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Touché. You ready to slum it with a college dropout from A&M? Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Always. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Did I tell you how fucking great you look in those leather pants? Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I’m just in the bathroom. I’ll be back in two minutes. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I couldn’t wait any longer. They make your ass look so amazing that I want to just bite into it. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Did you order another Long Island Iced Tea? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Guilty as charged. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Jesus Christ, slow down. I’ll be picking you up off the floor later. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I can hold my fucking liquor, I’ll have you know. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) This is why we can’t have nice things. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Are you awake? Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I am *now*. What do you want? Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I want a burrito. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) It’s four in the fucking morning. Wake me up at seven and I’ll take you to Central Market. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I love you, baby. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) I love you too, you fucking lush. Text to: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) No, I mean it. Text from: 512-555-6243 (Jensen Ackles) Yeah, I do too. But now can we sleep? I promise there will be blowjobs and burritos in the morning.

Compact Digital Cameras
A small, compact point & shoot camera with the flexibility to function well in low-light conditions will be your best friend at a live performance. After I assume photographs (panorama, road, or portrait) now, I take the DLux 4 , and depart the Canon in the closet. Seize the first image, and a ghosted model of it seems superimposed over the live preview to be able to choose an appropriate topic for every extra exposure. Strobes are adjustable lighting arrays that may angle the flash so that it would not replicate instantly again into the digicam lens, thus lowering backscatter and allowing for more artistic photographs. The autofocus system is also fairly spectacular, so you could conceivably use this digital camera to shoot sports activities and action. Sony's Xperia Z5 comes with a 2,900mAh battery and a promise that the gadget will last up to two days on a cost. Whereas that's not quite as good because the 50 percent enchancment Apple has claimed, the iPhone SE nonetheless has the most effective battery lifetime of any iPhone we've examined in the past two years. Nonetheless, there are actually fairly just a few compacts with built-in wifi, which can be used to transfer pictures to other devices. The PENTAX Q will probably be accessible in white or best point and shoot camera black physique models and shipped in a Standard Prime lens (accessible in silver) kit. Panasonic refreshes HD camcorder range: 3MOS, 1MOS and Waterproof offerings. For travel and street pictures, the Fujifilm X30 can go head-to-head with any compact camera available on the market. It was the first Panasonic camera to use a sensor that does not have an anti-aliasing filter, which mainly means you will get some highly detailed photos from this miniature marvel. Continuing the legacy of its award profitable sequence, Ricoh GR II is all that you need for revolutionizing your photography without being a huge burden in your wallet. In case your 340 HS battery is reading as dead even when it is not, or the digicam is powering off randomly when in use, examine the advisory to see when you're eligible for a free inspection or alternative'from Canon straight. Here is a hyperlink to pictures that were taken with it. I discovered that I needed that amount of zoom for lots of the cat photographs. The new Sony Cyber-shot RX10 II has enormous boots to fill, as the original RX10 superzoom is among the finest cameras we've ever seen. For extra details about Panasonic LUMIX digital cameras, please visit /lumix. Household Supplies Brooms, Ground Brushes & Dustpans Mops, Refills & Mop units Sponges & Cleaning Cloths Pegs & Garments Strains Housekeeping Dusters. However in case that RX100 IV point-and-shoot wasn't good enough for you, the company is now introducing the RX1R II , a full-body pocket-sized shooter with a forty two.4-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor. For skilled underwater photographers and critical enthusiasts, the ability to make use of their advanced digicam beneath the waves, whereas nonetheless having the ability to entry the important manual control buttons and dials justifies the price. There are only a few models across all manufacturers that provide a built-in EVF. The remaining have been closely matched, however we liked the pictures coming from Samsung's SL820 most constantly. Remember, too, that among the most convenient cameras for iMovie are already bundled inside Apple's bestselling smartphone and music player. One of many hallmarks of an SLR, and DSLR, is that these cameras are designed so photographers can manipulate the machinery and management their own settings. I've a G7X II since half a year as at all times-carry-on camera and don't regret it. I attempted Lumixs and Sonys at last yr's Photokina and did not like their handling. The stabilization additionally helps with stills - we had been able to pull off 1/10s low-light pictures with nearly no visible shake. Sony's A6000 is the mirrorless camera you may want to own, ships this April for $800 with lens. This extra snug design is compliments of Sony's Translucent Mirror expertise, which additionally allows faster autofocus. The A6000 comes bundled with Sony's NP-FW50 battery back, which has been transport with the company's mirrorless cameras because the NEX-three , a model that first hit stores just about 4 years ago. With the Smart Gesture UI you possibly can rapidly scroll by means of your pictures by barely tilting the gadget in either course or by choosing the appropriate images for a slide show. Whether or not it is all of the bells and whistles within the type of fingers-on controls, a built-in viewfinder or a big sensor for optimum quality, there are every kind of advanced compacts to go well with different tastes. Add to this X-Processor Pro image processing engine and you're going to get a robust instrument prepared to conquer the brand new horizons of images. The Galaxy S5 mini is each taller and thicker than the Z3 Compact, with a 4.5-inch 720p screen, quad-core 1.4GHz processor, 8MP digicam and a pair of,100mAh battery. Maybe most notable to advanced'photographers is the inclusion of UNCOOKED picture seize, which allows for higher flexibility when processing pictures. As with the other cameras here, the Fuji gives full HD videos recording as well as some inventive filters that may add fun effects to your films. Use the digicam's zoom perform: If you want to minimize out some of the surrounding atmosphere out of your composition, create a extra shallow depth of subject or create some distance between your digicam and your topic. On the downside, the SX620 HS's photographs are barely fuzzier than the 360 HS's in shiny gentle. Natively, it's nice for fish portraits to semi large angle, but like all different 1-inch sensor cameras we've got seen, it lacks good macro capabilities without an accessory lens. BTW, as an added bonus, the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60 can even shoot in RAW. It is the latest one of the ZS series (Traveler Zoom), born as a traveling compact camera. Also, the autofocus may be very quick, which is very essential for individuals who come from utilizing dSLRs which might be typically 5 occasions the value. The Panasonic LUMIX DMC-ZS50 additionally features full HD video recording in addition to up to 200fps (in VGA, 100fps in HD) high-speed video capture, allowing you the option of top quality slow motion play again - very entertaining. The 35mm most thickness (with the lens closed) means it will just about fit into a breast pocket or baggy shorts, but the 305g weight could compel you to put money into a case, belt clip or strap. It is Panasonic's entry-level compact system digital camera, and chooses to shed a number of pro-pleasing features with a purpose to keep the thing small. With retro designs and fingers-on controls for enthusiasts, Fujifilm's X-sequence cameras have constructed a stable following, primarily those who fondly bear in mind the days of film cameras. With a spread of 25-500mm, you have got every thing from vast-angle to shut-up telephoto. Sony has released 5'variations of its high-finish RX100 sequence so far, however the authentic RX100 presently remains to be one of our favorite journey cameras. Companies like Fuji, Canon and Olympus continue to make great DSLRs and interchangeable lens cameras for photographers who're serious about their image-taking. When set to slave TTL mode, the underwater strobe simply mimics the digital camera's constructed-in strobe to produce an automatic strobe exposure. On the opposite finish of the spectrum, level-and-shoot cameras just like the Polaroid Snap are unbelievable, enjoyable and cheap devices that supply the novelty of instantaneous photographs with the comfort of recent know-how. Canon targets Sony's fashionable RX100 with PowerShot G7 X level-and-shoot. Boasting 8 megapixels and full 1080P video recording, what you lose in megapixels you make up for in recording choices. Most of our test photographs have been outdoors, which additionally gave us the chance to see how effectively LCDs performed below vivid daylight.
