Getting back into writing
So if you haven't heard by now, I decided to sign up for the marauderbigbang. It's taken me a few weeks to finally settle on what I wanted to write about, even though in the signups I claimed it would be a genfic Remus action piece. After a few days of being stuck on "Where do I go now?", I finally decided to revive an old fun piece that I've been away from for far too long.
Remember way back, when on a whim I signed up for queenathon? I asked for a random prompt and got their Seven Seas of Rhye. Not exactly what I'd wanted or expected, but definitely some interesting stuff to work with there. So I got out a chapter or two and gave up on it. Since then its been moldering up my computers and being a sad reminder on my desktop whenever I got on my machine.
My Remus fic felt very restrained, and very complicated. In my opinion it would amount to too much time in Remus' head. And even though I would love to flesh out what I think happened during his missing years someday, I don't know if one long fic is the answer. More like several fics under a single overarching title. I'm thinking of Jocelyn's A Little Nudge Out The Door.
So yea, I'm probably going to use the fic I've affectionately termed "Queenie" instead. For now, I'll leave you with the full lyrics of the song. =)
Queen - "Seven Seas of Rhye"
Fear me you lords and lady preachers
I descend upon your Earth from the skies
I command your very souls you unbelievers
Bring before me what is mine, the seven seas of rhye
Can you hear me you peers and privy counsellors
I stand before you naked to the eyes
I will destroy any man who dares abuse my trust
I swear that you'll be mine, the seven seas of rhye
Sister, I live and lie for you
Mister, do and I'll die
You are mine, I possess you, I belong to you forever
Storm the master-marathon, I'll fly through
By flash and thunder-fire I'll survive, I'll survive, I'll survive I'll survive, I'll survive
Then I'll defy the laws of nature and come out alive
Then I’ll get you
Be gone with you, you shod and shady senators
Give out the good, leave out the bad evil cries
I challenge the mighty titan and his troubadours
And with a smile I'll take you to the seven seas of rhye
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
Oh I do like to be beside the sea
Where the brass band plays, tidily, Om, pom, pom
Oh I do like to be beside the seaside
Oh I do like to be beside the sea
Where they crowd beside the sea
And besides themselves with glee beside the seaside
