Coy had a cute post recently where we got to hear a dialogue between himself and his muses ... citing this as the reason he hasn't been writing!
In this spirit, I give you ...
Self: OK, let's see ... what to write next. Oh yeah, I have that
smallfandomfest piece due.
Heyes: Hold on a minute! You promised the next chapter!
Self: I'll get to it! I just gotta work out some of the details.
Heyes: What's to work out? 'Cept I gotta go to the school Thursday so I can sort out the kids on Friday and go eat at Trout's.
JT: You should do more Bettancourt Studios stories and actually make some money, you know. I'm *koff* up for it. *rubs crotch suggestively*
Holmes: *clears throat softly, pointedly ignores JT* I realize that you've taken on a lot, but there is the matter of that ASJ/Holmes crossover that you promised to write.
Self: *sighs* I know. I have the basic outline. Once I get the details in place, I'll do it.
Nameless Velyr: When's the last time you wrote velyr fiction? Are you gonna wait till you retire or something?
Raven: Yeah, and what about me and Ian? Do I get a sex scene once I get together with the other wizard? And what's his name anyhow? I want a sex scene.
Heyes: Say, that's a good idea! Maybe me and the Kid ...
Self: NO! Outlaw Security is not going to be slash fiction. We've talked about this.
Heyes: *plaintively* But I'm horny!
Self: You're always horny. Go have sex on your own time.
JT: You can come over to my place, Heyes, Armand will probably want to make a movie out of it.
Gred/Forge: I'm not sure you're done with us, either. And Armand would love to make a movie of us!
Heyes: *eyes ginger twins thoughtfully, then glances at JT. Grins*
Holmes: If it's a matter of figuring out a suitable mystery, I have some ideas ...
Raven: When does the first book end, exactly? Am I gonna get a scene, or is it all gonna be the Jack personality? You do realize that I'm the interesting part?
Heyes: Not as interesting as me. I've been in this head for over 30 years!
Tell and Tano (velyr): We've been here nearly that long, so shaddup. *Tell eyes Heyes speculatively* You are kinda cute, though. *Tano elbows his partner*
Self: *bangs head against wall*
And now, I'm off to mail a few boxes of books off to Amazon -- did you know you can send them your books and have them sell them and ship them for you? The lazy bookseller's dream. And I do need to clear some of these books out of the house before they start breeding.
