My inability to access the left side of my brain
So, I finally have my computer back! Yay! Which means that now I can actually type that Dollhouse/Dr. Horrible crossover and start posting bits of it! More yay!
The problem is, I hate it.
Well, no. I don't hate it. I hate...I hate how little I know about science. The science in this story is complete bullshit, and it's really, REALLY obvious. Like, I have a feeling most people are going to read this and go "What the hell? What is she talking about?" and then I'll get yelled at and then I'll feel bad and not want to keep writing it.
I ran into this problem a lot when I used to write Doctor Who, except in that fandom, you really can just make stuff up. None of the science on the show makes any sense, so why should the fanfiction? I did get yelled at though, once. And that one time I got called on my incorrect science continues to haunt me.
I tried for this piece, I really did. I researched neuroscience and biochemistry, and all these lofty topics I know nothing about because I'm a writer who takes classes like "Life, Death, and Immortality" instead of "Advanced Explorations in Neurology" but...I just couldn't find anything I could use. I found lots of guides to things, but I couldn't figure out what kinds of things a fourth year neuroscience student might know and what was too easy, I don't have any friends in any scientific majors, so, I'm left to write around it and make stuff up. And it's going to be obvious I've done that, and it's going to suck, but it was the only way I could figure out how to do it.
So yeah, basically, when the first chapter actually does go up, if I actually get the courage to put it up, please don't kill me for how ridiculous the science is. I tried, I really did. It's just so...wrong. It kind of hurts.
