manniness: I am thinking... (Outlandish upon request)
OK.  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 [livejournal.com profile] disney_advent for December 13.  Pirates of the Caribbean/Tangled/"A Most Precious Treasure" crossover (because I NEEDED MOAR PIRATES YES I DID)
