I'm safe up high, nothing can touch me
I managed to pound out of 2300 words of my lgbtfest fic last night. Now that may not sound like a lot, but for me that's crazy productive. The fic more than doubled in one night. Now there's just one more section (and a nice, fluffy section, at that) and I can get to editing this and sending it out to my beta. Go me.

I've been playing around with an AU idea where instead of following in Hollis' footsteps by becoming a costumed hero Dan follows him into the police force. I really don't think it would change things that much, not at first; Dan would still be the gadget guy, with an eye towards developing things for the cops (such as, the grapple gun he eventually gives Rorschach was something he initially developed for use by SWAT teams before realizing it wasn't practical). He and Rorschach would still be partners, the type of partnership where instead of going out and fighting crime Dan feeds him leads to cases that are going cold and smuggles him in for difficult interrogations and gives him the heads up when he knows his colleagues are on his trail. Like a much nerdier Jim Gordon. At least until everything goes to hell with the Keane act in '77, anyway. I like the sympathetic outsider perspective the AU would have. Not sure how the ending would be altered yet, but it's fun to play with.

This is such a Starbuck song. Definitely on my list of Vids I Would Make, If I Knew How To Vid.
