(no subject)

I just spent between 10pm and 1am typing up a plot bunny that refuses to have an ending.
Beginning and middle are fine. Three episode story arc, three self contained adventures, should work out. But I picked my recurring nightmare with the Daleks as the cornerstone of the climax plot, and if I actually knew how to defeat the Daleks in that particular nightmare it might actually *go away*.
But I don't.
So it doesn't.
So the story can't quite get there.

Is very frustrating.



And also my fingers hurt.

And in the entire preceding 24 hours I ate three crackers and a half glass of juice.

That needs fixing rather a lot more than my plot does.

fixing DW 3-13

I've been trying since first seeing this to find the minimum possible change to make it work properly for me. Mum asked why, I said practice - I've decided to write for Doctor Who as a job some day. Mostly fandom doesn't ask why so I don't have to be silly in replying.

I think I've thought of a way. But since the point is minimum change... would anyone be interested in reading it? Assuming I wrote it up as a fic/script sort of thing. I can write it as a meta point quicker.

another fix: TW 1-07 greeks bearing gifts

Three words wind me up about this episode: Evil, insane, dead.
There's also the issue where the writing doesn't actually lead to the ending and it's all a bit crap because of that.
But I think I can keep almost all of it and it still not be crap by the end.

It makes it clearer what was annoying when you have to try and fix it.

I'm probably being rather boring. I'm mostly writing this because I'm in a fixing things mood. I'll have to fix some reality pretty soon but fixing stories is more fun.
