On the Importance of Filler

[saintdogstreet]

Or, why I spent twenty minutes trying to decide if Arthur and Eames should take a bus or a taxi.

So I've got five thousand words of chapter five of Hero down and it looks like the rest will be smooth sailing. At any rate, I'm taking a break from that to write this (which is funny, because me writing Hero was just me taking a break from betaing,

Ohhh, how interesting.
I wasn't really sure if I agree (I think there's usually not much action in my fics), but then I read the bit about filler-only stories, and, yes. Yes.
I guess I often write something like filler-only stories with some action packed between.

And, gee, do I know the Inception of procrastination. A procrastination from a procrastination from a procrastination ...

Thanks <3. Speaking of stories you write, I really need to go stalk your lj and see if you've posted anything new. Got anything stewing in that brain of yours?

It's not our fault there's so many shiny and exciting things in the world, right? Right.

God, I'm so easily distracted, especially when I should be learning. Like now :D

Hee, thanks.
I've written kid!fic that you've might not seen yet. It's a bit different from the rest, so I don't know.

I've still got a few Inception fics that I want to finish or at least tidy up and post as snippets, but I don't really know yet.
I seem to have wandered off into the Primeval fandom (did I mention I'm easily distracted?) :D

Pfft. The best education doesn't come from the classroom, it comes from the rest of the world. Or, at least, that's what I keep telling myself.

You wrote kid!fic! Yay! I have to admit, I'm such a sucker for kid!fic. I'm going to have to check it out, because despite what you say, I'm sure it's wonderful.

Gawd, I know, I have the first page of about. . . seven, I think it is, Inception fics written that refuse to morph themselves into actual proper fic. Not to mention, a certain pharmacy!Au that I really need to finish. . . *headdesk* One at a time, one at a time.

BBC America keeps showing me adverts for Primeval, and it apparently has That One Hot Guy I Like in it, so I've been meaning it check it out. I do have something of a minor dinosaur obsession, so I don't see how I could not love it.
