beccaelizabethI have written 2500 words of fic
It is not the fic I set out to write
It is much more miserable and angsty
and I have only the vaguest idea of how to fix it.
also as a story it only very tenuously connects to those bits of canon I've managed to absorb as spoilers, and will be super jossed by next tuesday.
but I wrote quite a lot of words in a row, for me.
Only I think they'll piss off everyone? Like, they start with the teensy tiny unfortunate point that the OTP tend to beat each other up and knock each other out and so forth, and then, like, foregrounds that, and compares it to the relevsnt family history of abuse. and like, if people like the pairing, they probably don't want their problems all front and center like that? and if they don't like it then they wouldn't read. And it's doing stuff with time travel and memory that makes them not even the canon guys anyway, not exactly. and I'm not sure who in the world would read it and like it.
I should probably go back to the other much more naked idea I thought I was writing when I sat down. There's always readers for naked.
but I've got my characters stuck up the tree and now have very little idea how to get them down, which doesn't hardly seem fair. can't leave them like that...
