speaking on the themes
I have found my erstwhile writing mojo! I mean, all right, I've written considerably more this summer than I ever write during not-summer, but by 'writing mojo' I really don't mean 'ability to drum out ~4000 words of a Cliche Bingo fic'; I mean 'ability to write a 50,000-word season project'.
This time, though, it's not a Doctor Who season, because not enough has happened recently to justify a fix-it and I would never be so mad as to attempt the Torchwood version (besides which, I understand that any number of Children of Earth fix-its are already under way). Rather, my polybigbang has quite politely morphed into an outline, an outline that is 3480 words, contains six separate parts, and seems to think that it can reasonably be a due South AU that starts during The Promise and goes all the way to Good for the Soul. (That it almost entirely skips sixteen episodes is probably somewhat comforting.) It is still, um, looking like it's going to be much closer to the 50,000-word definition of a Big Bang than a 10,000-word one. I feel like I should probably preemptively apologize to![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
oliviacirce because I inflict everything on her and also to sionnain because she quite foolishly said she'd like a look at the F/K/V AU. I suspect myself of subconsciously wanting to cram all my Thoughts On Due South into one fic. Except for the Thoughts about how I irrationally want kidfic.
I think this means that I've completely resigned actually doing a blackout on my Cliche Bingo card, but I can still certainly complete a line (not-through-the-middle, even!) and since the whole point of a bingo card was to make myself produce a little more fic, I'm quite content with this.
Right now, though, I need to go to bed, because a second viewing of Half-Blood Prince plus 1 AM plus two solid hours of outlining pretty much mean I shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard right now.

Also, I printed out lots of long stories to read while I'm away from the internet, and when I come back, I'll be all out of epics to read. I'll look forward to yours!

I imagine that must be one of the nice things about due South fandom: there is always long fic to print out and bring on trips. :D Have a good time away from the internet! <3

It's no worries, I'm all good <3
(My outline for the BSG fic I keep not writing was at 4000 words. I SO HEAR YOU. This is why I have to force myself to write brief outlines or else I finish it and go, "Why write the story?" Hee.)
no subject
(And heh, that is actually extremely good to hear. And that is why I don't in the main write outlines either. This one is kind of magical, though, mostly because with the outline I have really just ... outlined and there are still lots of bits of story I want to write. The outline did keep wanting to grow actual fic excerpts, though.)

However, you have BETRAYED ME in being blackout buddies! Woe, woe.
But mostly yay.

You will be so sorry when I write tentacle porn and make you read it. And I don't even have a square for it.

Also, dude, I still totally think this should count in filling the "tentacles" square. :DDD
