Writing frustration

[bwinter]

I totally should post something Star Wars related, except for the fact that I didn't realise posting my info in imadra_blue's friending meme would lead to people actually friending me. So. Um. Probably not the right moment to mention the fact I haven't touched Star Wars with a ten foot pole in a long while

Tanz, Coldfire and Star Wars in one fic? I'm not sure whether I should be most concerned for von Krolock, Gerald, or Vader. Or the galaxy in which that triad is set loose. ;-)

You'll manage to write at home. Just let the muses catch you in the right mood.

Fortunately this one is not Tanz, but a random bunny fyrie set my way. I am proud to announce that Anakin's reaction to Gerald is to fire up the lightsaber and charge, as Obi-Wan and Damien facepalm in unison :D

Writing Dooku now for some reason, mostly because von Krolock is still gathering resolve to face a very unpleasant situation I want to put him in. Which is rather hypocritical of him, since he's not the one dying of having his guts ripped out in this fic...

[carmentalis]

Oh, good if it isn't Tanz. The image of Gerald and von Krolock teaming up against Vader was slightly worrisome.

(And sounds just like Anakin.)

If he's doing the ripping, then I can understand the reluctance. Those stains are so hard to get out of clothing.

My Gerald and von Krolock get along surprisingly well, but I'm hoping that inevitable tag-teaming will happen against a more challenging opponent than Yippee!Boy ;)

Nope. All he has to do in the fic is listen, and then munch on someone. Not my fault that he decided to have existential angst over vampirising his son at said son's firm request...

Cool icon

Thankee :) I need to iconify all of the new Tanz photos, but lack of inspiration seems to be catching between my creative venues...

good luck with all the writing..........

I was a Star Wars fan back in the early 80s.

*dances* Yay! Herbert fic :D

Oh and work all day, I had a scene stuck in my head, or at least the dialogue thereof:

Buffy: Don't you want a normal life?
Dawn: Buffy, I can't have a normal life. I never could have a normal life.
buffy: Of course you could! You got into the school you liked and that guy... Jamie... he liked you, didn't he?
Dawn: *in a monotone* He ran away after he saw me kill a demon with garden shears.
Buffy: ... oh...
Dawn: Yeah.
Buffy: There'll be other guys... guys who understand... I mean, look at Vittorio...
Dawn: Seriously, tell me one normal guy you've dated! Vampire, jerk, one-night stand, demon-fighting-agent, vampire, immortal...

This is where Dawn starts making an argument for a normal life her way.

[bwinter]

As in, a guy who actually has a house, family, and relative financial and emotional stability for the past 400 years or so? ;)

BTW, my VK needs a good kick. ARGH.

[fyrie]

Precisely :D Dawn can never be normal, because she's so used to killing things as a hobby. VK appreciates that ;)

Re. herbie-fic? *pokes him* Don't make my VK go even more grumpy. Seriously, the guy has issues with being light-hearted.

[bwinter]

Oh dear. Now I have an image of her breezing in and demanding demon-hunting info, and he just rattles off the appropriate index numbers in the library before he asks whether she'll need to borrow a rapier :>

Herbie-turning fic. I'm having to drag him kicking and screaming all the way to the inn, and he's standing there looking at the matron all speechless. I think he really doesn't want to go through all this angst. *kicks him*

[bwinter]

Once the vampires let go of me, mind you. And once fyrie stops messing with my mind, which may take a long time indeed...

*whistles innocently*

*ponders asking Magneto how to construct that telepathy-proof helmet* :P
