I think this is what you said to me the last time I pitched it to you, and my response, if I recall it, is that this is a dynamic I rather enjoy, especially if the young man in question is as pretty and well-spoken as young Colin...
Ha, yes. I mean, I do, too, and it's not like I wouldn't ship my faves at the drop of a hat in most circumstances, but Pamela would know how to deal with Colin without resorting to any sexual shenanigans. Plus she's related to dozens of people like him and clearly is still rebelling against that & sees them as tedious - and her type is absolutely ambitious slightly lower class man on the make. I would be here for it, because obviously I would. But it's not something I can see a plausible way to, really, without messing with characterisation. And Colin's still married and has a thing of some kind going on with Susan, whether professional or personal, and I'm already intrigued by that.
Aw, your Public Eye shipfic is lovely!
Aw, thank you! And, yes, I do write it, but not the sort and the variety TPG clearly calls for, for great justice. And also not to an audience of, well, me. I have to feel like I did over Frank and Mrs Mortimer to be driven to that kind of thing. (I wrote a PG fic one time, but it's spoilery for the one thing I wouldn't spoiler anyone for just in very case they ever did decide to give it a whirl.)
I would certainly be keen to see some PE fic from you!
