Fandom After Dark
NSFW Ahoy!
Anything goes!

Ever tried inducing a lucid dream?
Kind of. I'll practice reality checks now and then, but every time I start to lucid dream I'll begin to wake up, til I realize I'm just imagining rather than dreaming.
What's a lucid dream? I'm not lucid at the best of times.
It's a lucid dream when you are aware that you are dreaming. In that state you are able to take control over your dream and make happen whatever you want. It's an awesome experience! There are methods to practice inducing a lucid dream and it's so worth trying.
I can picture them in both roles but for some reason I can't imagine them switching. If I had to pick one I would choose dom!Jeeves/sub!Bertie.
Please don't laugh at me. I know it's silly but I have Jeeves as imaginary friend and this helps me a lot.
That's not silly at all.((hug))!! On the old indeedsir, there was an icon, "WWJD" i.e."what would Jeeves do".
Not laughing! In a way, writing Jooster is like having Jeeves and Bertie as imaginary friends, telling me their stories.
Reminds me of this, which I didn't make but I found it on some kind of fandom confession page years ago:
The whole thing actually started with me having problems, being convinced Jeeves would know what to do and wondering what he would do. Then I began telling myself what I thought Jeeves would be likely to tell me. And after doing that for some time my brain somehow started to take over and made him "appear" in situations without me consciously thinking of him. He's practically the voice of reason who shows up when needed and guides me gently to do the right things.
I had a dream about this comm last night! I was writing a description to post on here of a (not real) event that I went to, an Inside the Actors Studio type discussion with Hugh Laurie where he talked about Wodehouse and playing Bertie. And then the dream time-jumped backward and I actually attended that event. I remember rushing to beat someone to a front row seat so I could see and hear everything properly so I could report it to you guys. 😁
It's funny to me how un-ambitious this dream was. Instead of dreaming that I befriended HL or hooked up with him or guest-starred on his show, I dreamed that...I was a fan who did realistic fannish stuff.

Aww! That's a wonderful dream and so nice of you to think of us.
This is seriously one of the sweetest things I've ever read.
Years ago, during a massive breakdown, I swam in and out of reality having a long conversation with the late Peter Cook about Life.

That is so sweet! ((hug))
(I know it's on the black list for the fics here but I don't know if I may mention it as a confession. If not then please forgive me and just delete my post).
Although I don't ship the actors I read RPS fics about them. They shock me and make me feel kind of uncomfortable but if I find one I will read it. It's like those shocking articles Google likes to offer.
me after reading one: "Why in the world did I want to read that???"
also me after reading one: "Oh! There is another one." *clicks the link*

Ring for Jeeves used to be my least favourite Jeeves book. I felt like I needed to think of a good justification for why Bill should be so important to deserve a whole novel. I ended up with a nice headcanon and fell in love with it. Now I like Ring for Jeeves and Bill a lot. XD
Don't be ashamed. We're here for the confessions and not for judgment.
You don't ship the actors yet you read RPS?

Yes! I'm excited to hear this though. It's my somewhat guilty pleasure too. I actually have written a few RPS fics about them that I haven't posted anywhere yet...
What's the headcanon?
Yes, I don't ship them. When I see them together I'm content with them being such good friends and don't feel that there should be more between them. But when I see them in their roles as Jeeves and Wooster I can't stop thinking about what intimate things I want to see them doing with each other. I often read a fic with a pairing or a kink I'm not into. I guess it's because I'm curious.
I have mixed feelings about RPF. On one hand it feels wrongish to me that those fics are stories (with we know what kind of content) about actually existing people but on the other hand in those fics they are characters in fact based on real people however still fictional characters in fictional situations. The bottom line is I don't judge anyone for shipping RP pairings and enjoying fan works.
I was about to ask a question on another thread and realized that half of what I wrote was a confession so I will move that part to this place.
Before getting into the Jeeves fandom I never had much interest in learning about what the world was like before my time. That's why all I know about their time is what I learned from the Jeeves books, show and fandom. 😳

It's a great place to start! Wodehouse wrote about a fantasy world that didn't exist. But that doesn't mean you don't learn a lot about manners and mores of the time.
I feel similarly. I never cared about that time period because I figured everything was probably just racist and sexist and there's no fun technology. But lately I've been reading and learning more background just for fic. I think for a modern person encountering the Jeeves world, it can seem kind of exotic because everything is so rigid and restricted and prescribed. I now find myself curious to get to the bottom of what people were really like, underneath all the rules and the propriety. And I'm interested to learn more about the consequences, about what living like that does to a person/to a society.
I recommend reading Maurice by E.M.Forster. "Wilde", (1997) starring Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde, is excellent.I don't know what you like to read/watch or I could make more recommendations. Anybody else?
