Originally conceived as an idea after multiple viewings of SVU and multiple droolings over Stabler (the character, not the actor, Christopher Meloni, though he is exceedingly fine), In Vino Veritas is a blend of my reminisces about wine, heartbreak, and the experience of moving residences. I chose to set this series in an alternate universe than SVU simply because I do not have the background necessary for including character history. I chose the character Diane Neal plays, Casey Novak, to partner with Stabler because she reminds me of myself and it's very easy to write from my own point-of-view. You will find that of all the feminine voices I have adopted, hers is the closest to the yakkety-yak going on in my head. Being a "lightweight", I had not often had the interest or opportunity to drink to the point of going blind, making bad choices in sexual partners, or even achieving mild intoxication, so you will not find a great deal of vine-induced, hot, wild monkey sex at this terminal. I do, however, have the experience that wine loosens the tongue and can help things to come out of people's mouths that are wholely unexpected. Some of the things Stabler and Novak say to each other are things that have been said to me or I have said to someone else in the haze of the moment. I have also noticed is that fine company can be augmented with fine wine. And so this series is dedicated to my fellow wine connoisseurs, the finest company a girl can have: Tom, Tommy, Jeff, Moe, Erica and Craig.
Can't get enough CMG? (Christopher Meloni Goodness) Please download the Psycho Fan Girls' music videos for his character, Chris Keller, from the HBO series, Oz. Meloni plays Keller with a level of focus, sensuality and violence that I find deeply disturbing and incredibly hot at the same time. You know how most men get off on watching girls "play" with each other? I never thought I, as a woman, would feel the same about men* until I saw the best of the PFGs' collection: "Criminal" (Fiona Apple) and "Tainted Love" (Marilyn Manson). Those two videos explore the relationship between Keller and fellow inmate, Tobias Beecher (portrayed by Lee Tergeson).
* I'm pretty sure my reaction is due to the inherent masculinity of those two characters, even while engaging in activity that is often perceived as "un-manning". What can I say? I like my men to be masculine, my women to be feminine and my androgynes to be androgynes. Vulnerability, grace and intensity are delicious, no matter who's working them.
