Like fic Friday! But with less fic. And less Friday.

So! Hilarity. I was going to post fic tonight, but nothing was working and I decided to be proactive and try to fix my methods instead of leaving to read porn, so I got all,

"I will do plot outlines!"

because I usually don't; I just ramble on for a couple of run on paragraphs, or, more commonly, make an orderless list of kinks events I want to hit. I realized then that I have no idea how anything ends ever, because my plot outlines all started looking like this:



actual example of what is in my text file for my current project right now:

WHAT IS THE CLIMAX

WHAT IS THE RESOLUTION?

WHAT

um

FIGHT SCENE

uh

no?

sex

penetrative anal sex is the climax

no, they'll have sex like that way before then

i think

the slut should prevail

uh

FIGHT sc...no

does not make sense

MAYBE A LITTLE FIGHT SCENE

no

what is the climax

oh my fucking god

WHAT IS THE CONFLICT

WHAT AM I DOING

WHAT IS ANYONE DOING

MAIN CHARACTER WHAT ARE YOU DOING

He wants revenge--no
He wants justice
the plight of others matters
he wants to take the whole shebang down
real eyes --> realize: burn this shit to the ground

[break to look at this picture:



kktx.]

OKAY HOT DAMN

THE CLIMAX IS MURDER

YESSS

THE CLIMAX IS MURDER

As you can see by my stunning conclusion there, I worked some shit out.

NEW GOAL: force myself to write a short and coherent outline that actually includes a fucking ending for everything. Add this to writing rules.

Ooh, ooh, that short bit of Erik/Hannibal I wrote is now up on ao3, edited slightly and gussied up to be part of the series, which Etirabys graciously let me do even though my bit is, like, 1/10th of the word count of hers and a far smaller fraction of the complexity. I dig the all Latin titles; don't even get me started.

I was going to end with a picture of my dog to salvage this entry and elevate it into greatness, but I somehow do not want to put my baby right after "THE ANSWER IS MURDER!" and then, um, fic that at least obliquely references cannibalism.

Do you guys love the shit out of the "cannon typical violence" tag on ao3? I sure do.

My neck is destroyed with hickeys.

Thank you and goodnight.

writing process, fic friday not really, outlines, writer lawl, hickeys galore
