Hrm.

I've started a new fic this morning (White Collar! OMG new fandom!), but while I've been dragging my feet trying to get into it I poked into some of the files in my In Progress folder and found the beginning of a John/Rodney (SGA) fic called, so helpfully, "Lunch."

This is what I'd written:

"Do you realize people go *out* to lunch?" John asked,

I have nothing but snippets in my fic folder. All of them baffle me. Heeeee.

OM NOM DIM SUM.

How was Chuseok???

[flaming_muse]

Ugh, we all had the plague over Chuseok, so our grand plans consisted mostly of sniffling and coughing a lot while wishing we weren't missing it. Meh. Next year in Jerusalem Seoul better health?

Dim sum sounds SO GOOD right about now. OM NOM NOM NOM NOM.

How was your Chuseok? Did you celebrate and eat lots of yummy things?

[fodian]

Oh, noes! That is too bad indeed, but I hope you're feeling better. And yes, there is always next year! And by then you'll have a bunch of games to play via PaFod!

I had a small gathering here and my parents are pretty awesome sometimes so they overnighted some sungpyeon over. We sat around and made mandoo and I had prepared a bunch of Korean side dishes and then we cooked up a big pot of spicy fish stew and oh, man, I am getting really hungry. (Let me know if you want any recipes, btw!) Also for next year, you might want to keep in mind that soju + people trying to get up from a sitting position with their legs still crossed and the backs of their hands to their foreheads = HILARIOUS FUN.

[flaming_muse]

You are so lovely to us.

I'll have to try the soju game with the museling. ;) Kidding, kidding.

I'm glad you had a great time!

That is an EXCELLENT beginning.

I suspect it is a fic about John wanting to ask Rodney out to lunch, but every time lunch comes up it is either a) interrupted by crisis, b) interrupted by someone else who wants to date either of them or c) results in food poisoning. The fic ends with Rodney and John on a balcony in Atlantis having lunch. AW ROMANTIC DATE.

I have so many random snippets you have no idea. So. Many.

[flaming_muse]

Romantic date! Aw!

I've actually left the file open on my computer in case I sneakily want to add to it. ;)

[epistrophia]

Do you have snippets on your computer or in a notebook or something that baffle you

Oh, you have NO idea... The number of words in my WIP/ideas/bits folder far exceeds the total wordcount of stuff I've posted. And a lot of it is *good* - or at least I am slightly gobsmacked by the fact that *I* apparently wrote it, because it's not embarrassingly bad, unlike anything I'd be writing now if I was writing fic any more...

[flaming_muse]

Yeah, sometimes I read snippets of what I've read and wonder who could possibly have written them, because it obviously wasn't me! I think our muses ebb and flow... as does our confidence.
