What does MBU mean?

Ah! It stands for "More Between Us" and is the shorthand I use with my writing partner for the ongoing story 'More Between Us Than A Wall'. You can find it on means2bhuman's LJ, or my AO3 and FFN.

No, it's great that you're here! We pass our little stories back and forth by email and the ones that look okay for publishing, I publish. I want everyone to read them then! The ones I don't publish are either incomplete (they don't have a conclusion, or it's just a scene without conflict) or require so much context to explain that I think it defeats them. The whole series, Bricks in the Wall, I started because I had all these ideas about what could happen between them in the Wall, that were sometimes way outside MBU. They're fanfic of my own fanfic, you see. MBU is constrained and limited in that it has a single set of events happening in it, a set history, and the input of a writing partner. But that doesn't keep my brain from spinning out all these 'what if?' stories and generally the more excited I am about MBU, the more 'what if's I come up with. (Then there's the limiting factor of whether I have time to write and what's going on in my life, but things have been fairly calm for the last three weeks.) So rather than try to ( ... )
