Good news - I've figured out the plot for the first volume. It came to me in history class today. Unfortunately, as this has picked up its pace, I seem to have hit a writer's block on Londinium. Argh. I'm in the middle of a chapter, too, and I know where it's going, but I just can't make myself write it. It's cute, too - Basil does something nice for Dustin, which is his way of showing the reader that he's not a sarcastic jerk and that he's actually a really nice guy.
Here are a few other random ideas:
~ Mickey is a cabbie - that's his day job.
~ If we ever do a cross-canon project, Dustin can play with the NYC Music Story cast - he can play the piano and learned the guitar out of canon.
~ Both of my projects have procrastinating Roberts in them - in the NYC Music Story, it's Carlock, whilst in Londinium it's Sheldon.
~ I know how Jacques De Cock is going to fit into the story! Noeru rents one of his movies as a joke, which he watches with Hugh (they laugh instead of doing anything sexual, of course). A few weeks later, Hugh goes to a gay bar to socialize and try to meet someone new, and he runs into Jacques there. He recognizes Jacques from the film. Jacques decides he wants to talk to Hugh, so he does so, and Hugh compliments him on his, erm, "acting skills." Jacques takes this as a sign to advance and he becomes attracted to Hugh. Hugh doesn't reciprocate, of course, so he has to find a way to deal with a porn star who is blindly in love with him.
It nearly made me laugh in the middle of Latin class, so I guess it works.
Meanwhile, the other Hugh (and his buddy Stephen) are content to kick ass. (One last thing - am I the only person who thinks the Bay City Rollers were trying to sound like the Beatles when they did Saturday Night?)
