Jane Austen + Bandom = Insanity?

[scribblinlenore]

I'm watching Pride and Prejudice tonight (the Colin Firth version, naturally), and of course I'm always thinking about Pete and Patrick, and the two things started mingling together in my head. So now I'm trying to figure out how I could make a Pete/Patrick P&P AU work.

Your brain is just awesome. STOP MAKING ME WANT TO READ BANDOM. ;)

Hee! How can you resist Jane Austen? :)

Oh my, I am not in bandom, you know that, I am *not*, like not even tempted, but this, this is so utterly fantastic and you should, so should continue to think about this.

(BTW - something is in the air, bc I've been watching P&P - BBC and 2005 movie - a lot lately)

I so hope that we share a fandom again, soon. I mean, I so crave for a story from you. Is there no inspiration in the baseball area? For example how Jeter comes to visit Alex while he is recuperating from his operation or dunno, sees Alex's photos of checking himself out in the mirror (the ones Punny linked to) or something?

Again, this is good, soo good.

Jane Austen is pretty much impossible to resist, I think. I watched the entire BBC version yesterday, and I kind of have a hankering to watch it again today. Or maybe I really just need to pull out the book and read it. Maybe it's spring that puts us in the mood for this story, because it's just so romantic!

I also hope we're in a fandom together again soon, Anita! I miss squeeing with you. I keep hoping to get interested in a new TV show, but nothing has hit me so far. At least not in a fannish way.

Probably, though, I will write some more A-Rod/Jeter during the baseball season. Right now, A-Rod is rehab-ing from an injury, so he and Jeter aren't in the same place. But when he's back in the lineup, I'm sure there will be new canon. And I'll have inspiration to write! :)

IAWTP. I want a P&P Pete/Patrick fic so baaaaaad. I have been thinking this for awhile now. The Bingley/Jane thing is difficult...it's sort of necessary to the plot, but I'm running a blank on who they would be!

[scribblinlenore]

As my friend Anita said, Jane Austen makes everything better! And, for my part, I think Pete and Patrick make everything better, too. So, really, it's just a thing that NEEDS to exist!

Great idea. Even the outline is fun to read.

The PATD gentlemen could be useful as your Jane and your Bingley. Possibly.

May I ask, when you're writing a story, do you normally outline it first, or do you plunge straight in?

[scribblinlenore]

I'm glad you like! I've been thinking about it more this morning, and I really might want to write it.

And yes! Thank you for the idea. I do think PATD could help me with my Jane/Bingley problem.

As for my writing process, yes, I do pretty much always have an outline. When I first get a flash of inspiration, it tends to be really detailed, and I write down as much of that as I can. Then I try to solve any plot problems. I really need to know how the whole story goes before I start writing. And then, of course, while writing I change my mind about things. But my stories usually come out pretty close to the outline.

Re: writing process. Thanks for that. It's interesting. I miss the days of DVD commentaries to the tell you the truth. :)

What are you waiting for, start writing ♥

[scribblinlenore]

Hee! You are one of my favorite enablers. :)
