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.
