Make my decisions for me?

I still have to sign up for Boom, Boom, Baby!, the Oz Big Bang challenge - even though I'm one of the people running the thing - because I can't decide what to write.

Choices are:

You're likely to get your first wish for more Miguel - I've tentatively signed up with the word count for the BB remix, because having an entire outline of my plot already worked out was too big a security blanket to resist. I've sort of reserved the right to possibly change my mind, as long as I can still make the first word-count check-in with a different story - I've got three days coming up of helping my mom to pack for a move, and I maybe could come up with some more plot ideas for the Dollhouse fusion, given that much time to think. I ... am not going to guarantee, tho'.

But I'll tell you, if I don't do the Dollhouse story this year, it's def. got to go on the to-do list for next year's Big Bang - the single plot arc that's already crystallized in my head for that story is a Miguel arc, and it would be AWESOME, if I do say so, myself. I think maybe a Dollhouse/Oz story would be better served by taking a little bit more time to a) think over Dollhouse, itself, and the issues involved with both identity and exploitation/abuse in that framework - particularly how they overlap with the prison experience in Oz and b) outline an overall story arc, along with some individual character arcs.

Maybe. The Miguel idea I had, though ... I SO VERY MUCH want to write it that I don't know if I can put it off ...
