Big Bang & BSG

[igrockspock]

I have come to the sad conclusion that there is almost no way for me to meet the rough draft deadline for Big Bang. To do that, I would need a lot of long stretches of time to devote to nothing but writing, and that would entail giving up RL pursuits that are important to me. More importantly, I love my story idea, and I couldn't bear to make

I hope you get the time and space you need to write your big bang the way it deserves, and if that winds up not being within the deadline then I think you're right that it's better to have a story at its full potential than to have one you walk away from with regrets and fanart.

Oh god that timeskip. I still don't know what I think about it because it came out of nowhere. (I feel like they glossed over what would have been the most interesting arc in the show for the sake of -- what, more filler later on? Even a couple of episodes watching New Caprica descent into apocalypseland would have been better than how they treated it.)

Eh? Really?! I am immensely pleased by this, but also very curious about what I said. Is your BB about velociraptors?

It is the Kirk-Number One hangover fic from het_idcrack! The thing grew a plot when I wasn't looking.

Eeeeeeeeeeee!!! And now it's going to be a Big Bang?! That is extremely exciting!

That's sad about the women. It was never perfect, but I felt they started out really strong just by choosing to make Kara and Sharon female characters instead of saying, "oh, in the original show, they were men." And I loved the way that Kara got to embody a male archetype and have male flaws. I absolutely loved her in season one, and I like what I've seen of her in season three. I really want to love her all the time. But sometimes the writers stick her with the same unmotivated man pain as Lee Adama, and I just can't handle it. I love the character, just not the writing.

I'm sorry to hear about your BB, but you're absolutely right, it's better to have a story that you're satisfied with, rather than have a sketchy rough draft that isn't what you wanted the story to be.

I never got into BSG in a huge way, but I remember watching that scene where Kara stabbed Leoben, and it still sticks out in my head as one of the most arresting scenes I've ever seen on TV, for so many reasons.

You're right, the BB idea deserves the best possible execution. If you regret releasing it in an unfinished state, you wouldn't enjoy the fanart fully anyway. And who knows, you could try asking for fanart for the story (or any other) for your birthday or for Christmas or something. ;-)

In any case, I am rooting for the successful development of your BB idea, whenever you have the time and brainjuice. *cheers*

Um, hi!

This is totally random, but along the lines of illariy's comment -- if you would like fanart for this story, and you don't happen to finish in time for the BB deadline, um. I (and probably many others!) would love to make you art, whenever you do finish.

No obligation on your part, of course, just -- the offer stands. I work better as an artist when I have something to make art for, so. :)

[igrockspock]

Wow! Thank you so much for the offer. Your art, especially your Gaila art, is lovely, and I would be honored to receive anything you made for my story! Hopefully it will be finished a time that is convenient for you :)
