Admitting it
So...I think it's finally happened, Robin Hood has eaten my brain so much that I now care about it more than the Doctor Who verse. All week I've been writing my bigbanghood fics in the evening instead of watching Torchwood, even though I hear it's been really good. I'm really glad TW is good, and I do want to watch it, and in fact I'd probably react entirely different if it wasn't a matter of 'well I can wait until they're all out and watch them then.'
It's been so long since I wrote anything that it's really nice to be writing big fics again. But I've realized something that I probably had realized before, but my thinking in epics actually seems a hindrance to actually writing plot. Not that a story *has* to get straight to the plot and I'm not so far into it that it's going to be a problem that nothing has actually happened yet, but I keep thinking I need to add more and more stuff before I get to the plot stuff.
Also, I think I need to rewatch the last few episodes of season 2 since my main story goes AU before the infamous end of 2x13. But since I'm still kind of reeling from the RH series finale (which you may have noticed I still haven't done my review of, maybe I need to go get some of it out on Cori's and then get back to my own...or just keep writing fic) I'm having trouble doing things like remembering why I spent so much time angry with Robin in season 2. Fortunately he's not really part of the story just yet, but eventually I'll need to recapture s2 Robin instead of it being my finale emo retroactively whitewashing him.
Also, it turns out Vasey is really hard to write. I'm not even talking about from his POV, I just find his...presence really hard to capture.
