Plot bunnies. Why is it always plot bunnies?
I need to stop listening to my brain. It just gets me in trouble. I mean, plot bunnies are all well and good, but only in a fandom you're comfortable in. Especially when you're me and don't have a beta. I suppose it's partly to do with the fact that I feel so relaxed from the total absence of Scary Guy, who is somewhere Not Here, and won't be back all day. So now I actually have the stress dialled down low enough that I feel comfortable writing fic in my spare time at work. And what do I do with that fic-writing time? Start a story where I have to figure out how to get Dean Winchester to watch a ballet.
I mean, once I've got him there, it's not hard to keep him there. I mean the ballet I'm using is Giselle, which has a woman who goes insane and kills herself and vengeful spirits. Really, I'm pretty sure that once Dean had read the plot summary, he'd stick around for the going insane bit at least. But the real problem, which anyone can see if they read my fanfic, is that I'm all about the songfic one-shots and badfics. I don't really do so well when I try to write something that has actual plot and requires, well, writing. So here I am, trying to write something (while I have spasms of fic-related guilt from not doing my Buffy/HP crossover or the Patricia Wrede MST) and I'm having to actually do that whole balancing dialogue with the rest of the not-dialogue, with characters I only know imperfectly.
Urk.
You never do realise your weaknesses until you run smack into them.
On the plus side, the weekend's almost here.
