Note to my brain

[matrixrefugee]

Yes, I know this week has been a messy one between work injuries and snowstorms and unplowed sidewalks and missed appointments with one's therapist, but we've got... three fics for the help_haiti challenge to write. Please get your neurons together in a timely fashion and focus on those instead of on other fandoms! That includes the borderline song-fic inspired by The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes" and the till now thankfully forgotten memory of the OOC!Angsty!Agent Smith-fic based on said song which we read back in the day. I could see using this song for a fic about a younger and less corrupt Muraki (even though his eyes are silvery-grey and not exactly blue, though some frames in the anime give them a bluish tinge depending on lighting or the animator), but not an Agent: they don't get angsty since they don't quite have emotions, except for Smith, but then then again, he actually has them and hates them. If you're going to write about blue-eyed characters, you've got a AU "A.I." fic about David to write.

MR's brain: But we wrote half of it, what about jotting a few notes on --

MR: Not another word!

Ah--you write notes to your brain too? I have gotten so much into the habit of doing the same, that I now find nothing odd in dashing off a furious letter of reprimand to it every so often, nevertheless, it persists in its careless and frivolous ways!

PS
It appears that we both discovered how to come up with ideas for utterly brilliant fanfictions! Focus on other stories in completely different fandoms, of a completely different nature! This will result in a brilliant yet wholly unrelated idea instantly coming to light! (This is partly why a friend and I often find ourselves switching between the 2200s, and the 18th century...but that is another story, for another day ).

Another secret is: remember the wonky-written OOC fics you've read and find a way to improve on one of the concepts.

My writing neurons are on strike, I think.

I wish mine would take a break for a little while. :: Laughs:: I've had more ideas flying out of my head in the past few months than I have in the past year, but at least most of the stories have been one-shots, which are easier to write.
