oh, self

You know what kind of sucks?

Right at this very moment, I kind of really want to write a long, long Sam/Ainsley fic just because.

But it's NaNoWriMo month, and I'm already behind.

It's kind of hard to shift your mind from a love story about witty, bantery ideological opposites in love against the backdrop 21st century politics to a darkish pseudo-Victorian YA fantasy novel about the nature of family.

*sigh*

They're irresistible, aren't they?

In other news, I think I've figured out what I'm writing.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

They really kind of are. I think I might actually write some long fic for them sometime; I think they deserve it. I wonder how many people would actually read it....

YAY! DO TELL!

[magisterequitum.livejournal.com]

*raises hand*

I would.

:)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Why am I not surprised? ;D

[snickfic]

I WOULD! I so would. You writing Sam/Ainsley would just make my heart go pit-a-pat. But you just wrote me mpreg, so I should probably keep my greed to myself, eh? *g*

*hugs*

I'm sorry. You could always jot down notes and outline quickly, and then it will be ready for you when you get back. :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'll be okay! The urge will probably pass by tomorrow. ;D

I don't have really have a set plot idea, it was more just an urge to have those characters interacting on paper, you know? I think I'm going to make a date with myself at the beginning of December to watch a lot of TWW episodes and get myself in the mood again. I'd really like to write it!

[magisterequitum.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a good idea. I am close to being done with my entire re-watch, but I'll be revisiting S2 and 3 soon enough.

Does all your Nano writing have to be the same thing? I mean, I know the original point was to write a novel, but there are lots of people who do other writing projects and just use the month as motivation/goal-setting. So as long as you get your word count in, a Sam/Ainsley fic could be part of it......

(Really, I just want to read it, lol. I'll give you a cupcake for it!)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I think it's all supposed to be one project, unfortunately. And I really do need to finish the novel, so I'm focusing on that for now.

But seriously--when December comes, poke me and say, "Hey, remember when you said you'd write that Sam/Ainsley fic?" Because I want to write it, and encouragement always helps!

Ooh, I recognize that feeling. I really need to stop obsessing over my Seasonal Spuffy fic and focus on my vampire Cinderella novel. Good luck! Your NaNo story sounds cool! :)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

It's awful, isn't it? Thanks, and good luck on yours! :D

[unbridled-b.livejournal.com]

lol. Glad to know I'm not the only one with a fickle Muse! :P

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

It happens!

[xc-runner50.livejournal.com]

Yikes! That does sound like two difficult things to switch gears between. Good Luck, and have fun with your writing :P

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Thank you! The encouragement is very helpful!

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

Much luck to your NaNo project!

And I PM'd you something long and flaily about Press Gang. :D

[snickfic]

FWIW? I am very excited about the sound of your NaNo project. Darkish pseudo-Victorian YA fantasy? Yum yum yum.

[eilowyn.livejournal.com]

Imagine Ainsley in a corset? Does that help to tame you muse in the right direction?

[mollivanders.livejournal.com]

do them both ;)

I have a TVD fic I mustmust write except... it's NaNoWriMo. why life?

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

OOH. I hope this Sam/Ainsley fic happens one day! I'd love to read it.

For now, my best wishes for your novel. :)
