Update-ish type stuff
Dec. 14th, 2011 08:40 amOK. SO! My husband came home last night and I started whining about how this latest fic - Heart and Sole - is kicking my scut (no, that's not a dirty word - it's Outlandish!) and I cannot stand to write Stupidly-Infatuated!Alice and Insipid!/Hatter and I may or may not have been doing a lot of eyelash batting and melodramatically clasped hands and a falsetto. AND THEN MY HUSBAND GOT HIS AWESOME ON.
It went something like this:
Me: This story hates me. *whine whine whine mooooooooaaaaaaaaan*
Him: Well, there's no action. Just a basic love story. You don't do those.
Me: Um... yeah. True. My stories usually have some kind of angle.
Him: So you don't feel motivated.
Me: OK, I can buy that, but...?
Him: Maybe you need a not-main main character. Make this story from Hamish's POV.
Me: ?!?!?!?!?!!!
AND OMG YES THANK YOU THAT'S PERFECT I THINK I WILL MARRY THIS MAN AGAIN YES I WILL.
So, I guess that's what I'll be working on from today. And there may even be a surprise twist at the end. We shall see.
In other news this week, there's a new Alice in Wonderland cliché prompt:
Hamish is Alice's antagonist.
AND I posted a little Christmas drabble-y thing on
disney_advent for December 13. Pirates of the Caribbean/Tangled/"A Most Precious Treasure" crossover (because I NEEDED MOAR PIRATES YES I DID)
