Methos hijacked my brain and Trowa and Quatre are breeding plotbunnies

[fractured_sun]

It never ceases to amuse me that when I set out to write something what ends up on the page - or flickering screen- so rarely resembles what I originally set out to write. When I am lucky what emerges is better: wittier or deeper than the original story, often it is not. This latest highlander story I am writing though is just different. When I set

The 3x4 bunnies do that. They do that all the time and they don't seem to mind how hard you try to hide. I've been hiding for years.

I wouldn't mind so much if it was a nice fluffy little bunny, but I have long depressing bunnies where everyone is miserable.

Amen to that! Once they a get a hold on your brain it's all over.

They have to fight Methos for territory in my brain. Hmmm... Methos versus the gundam pilots I wonder who would win.... no no no go away plot bunny, leave damn you, now.

Methos is a greedy bastard who does that, and 3x4 will do that too ;-)

[fractured_sun]

Methos never quite got over his world domination stage he still does it all the time.

3x4 should be fluffy and fun, instead I am plagued by angsty bunnies that want me to write long fics in which everyone is miserable, and will probably then die. Am not entirely sure what this says about my mental state but surely can't be good.

That sounds about right both for Methos and 3x4 bunnies. They do that, and it's impossible to hide. Don't write and they will eat your brain.

Oh and 3x4 bunnies, fluffy? (read a comment further down). Since when? Mine never have been.

[fractured_sun]

I like reading both types of 3x4 fics.

It just makes me sad when my 3x4 bunnies find realism more interesting than the fluffly perfect relationship that really only exists in drabbles. This bunny wants to drive them apart and make them miserable :-(

He'll do that [g]

He just likes aggravating me too much and sending me off on tangents... generally I bow to his wisdom and get some more dialogue out of it, unfortunately what I don't get from it is any closer to finishing anything :-)

Methos sidles in when you aren't looking - and then promptly takes over the damn place before you can say 'that was my beer!'...

[fractured_sun]

Yes and he talks and he talks but he never really admits to anything and thus the fic grows and grows and gets no closer to the end.

The only way out is to not open the door in the first place, but I need my Methos fix.

[aeron_lanart]

Door? Since when did Methos need a door? *g*

[fractured_sun]

It's really more of a catflap, I am convinced Methos is really a cat he has the personality traits down.
