A/N: I haven’t written anything since the news broke about Brooke. I’ve lost my muse.
And it’s hard to make heads or tails of the crap they’re feeding us, let alone gather inspiration from it. So I found myself looking elsewhere. Still, the writing really isn’t up to scratch.
Thank you to everyone who contributes to the boards, especially at TWoP, for your insight, shared exasperation, the entertainment and the inspiration.

“This is crap!” the new girl throws down her pen.
“Okay, obviously we’re never going to agree on this,” the head writer turns to the rest of the writing staff. “So…”
“Dartboard!” they all cry in unison.
“Okay - option number one,” she scribbles onto a scrap of paper. “After their fight Erica goes to Joe’s, gets drunk, starts a brawl, kicks Izzie’s ass, brakes Sloan’s nose and stabs Meredith Grey with a steak knife. She’s currently awaiting trial.”
“Option two,” scribbles the resident insomniac. “Erica throws herself in front of a bus to save a little boy. She dies at the scene.”
“Option three,” the new girl writes. “Erica calls UNOS and accepts a place at a highly ethical, transplant-accredited hospital.”
“Option four,” giggle the two remaining writers, while one tries to scribble with the wrong end of her pen. “Erica gets abducted from the parking lot by aliens.”
“Right! And then the Men In Black erase Callie’s memory,” adds the other.
“And then she can have nightmares and flashes for the rest of the season!”
“Oh my God. That’s an amaaaaazing idea! It’s almost as good as the Denny stuff. Nice work man!” They hi-five each other.
The head writer tacks each piece of paper onto the dartboard, then moves back four paces.
They brace themselves. She throws the dart. They all move forward…
It landed on nothing.
“Okay then! Well that’s that sorted.”
She turns to the new girl.
“Listen, we’re gonna have to let you go. Your ideas are too immature and you don’t have any chemistry with the rest of the writers.”
“Is this because I’m a lesbian?”
“No. Of course not!”
“Is this because I didn’t suck on the crack pipe?”
“Yes. Yes it is.”
