Not so easy this time

I decided to try my luck with another set of random story ideas for The Great Random Xander Story - Iteration TWO (not one). I'm still writing Iteration One, but I did a little work on Iteration Two. Unfortunately, I have no idea if I can continue this story, because the combination of ideas (I've already gotten to the second idea, which shows you ( Read more... )

Yeah. Entertaining for us, at least. No matter how bad whatever you write is, at least we'll be able to point and laugh. So we're good, either way. Thanks for thinking of us, though.

I expect pointing and laughing for this one. Whether it's at me or at the story, I'm less certain on.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the point of the random story idea generator supposed to be an exercise for your creative muscles? So if one of the attempts ends up being a massive crack fic and completely different from you normally write, then mission accomplished right?

Yeah. The problem isn't really that it's different from what I would normally write, I just don't know how to write about the subjects I need to write about. Part of that is because I allowed a few crossovers onto the list that I really don't know a goddamn thing about, and I'm not about to watch a whole series or read a whole book just to do this exercise, so it gets a little difficult.

I'm still going to write it, it's just not going to be anywhere close to as detailed as IT1. Hopefully the reasons for that will be clear once you guys read it.
