NaNo note, and Numb3rs ficlet!

[izhilzha]

Okay, I just had the most fun writing a scene for my NaNo project that I've had all month. It was my first time writing Blair in a teaching role, and oh boy, no wonder people like this. He's so much fun to write when he's trying to get the students to see what he sees, to go where his brain has already gone... Whee

Another story about a new baby? :-)

Hush, you!

No, actually, my roommate and I dissected this new trend of mine (I never used to write babyfic), and came up with something interesting. Since I officially left home two years ago, I hadn't had much contact with kids. Then we started babysitting the 3 children of a friend, one of which is barely 1, and about a week after the first time we babysat them, I had that Sentinel fic come creeping up in my mind.

Oddly, neither of these fics is about change, as one might expect babyfic to be. They're both, essentially, "the more things change the more they stay the same."

Hmmm....

So it is an actual ficgenre with an actual name. I was thinking it'd be another form of profic (procreation). ;-) I do think it's necessary that such things be explored, though, since for so many people the greatest test of character comes in being a parent. That must go for fictional characters as well.

And I'm interested to see how these turn out. :-)

LOL, yes, insofar as it's a pretty undefined one. But giving the characters kids is a fairly common form of ficcing, depending on the fandom.

Good lord, JD, that's funny.
