This Is Not A Democracy

If you know where my ficjournal is, I've just reposted an Erik/Charles fic I wrote back around the time of X2.

The other day, I read an awesome story by coricomile, which was a very long and well-written Patroh piece.

It made me miss writing in bandom so badly, and reminded me of all those stories I was writing and never finished. It also made me miss Fall Out Boy, which is probably worse. I'm seeing The Damned Things on Saturday, and I have never been so proud of Joe and what he's accomplished, but god, I still hanker for the early noughties and chubbiness and awkward, bambi limbs crammed into tour vans...

I did think about going back to bandom fic after Joe made That Comment to me, but I don't know. It's hard, not having really written for a year. Eighteen months, in the case of TWNW. I would still love to finish that fic, but I doubt I ever will. There was so much to fix.

Damn.

I'm supposed to be working on the Shelock bigbang, but I just can't get into it, because I'm thinking about bandom.

So, it would seem I am planning to write a Sherlock big bang fic.

I've never done one of those before; I'm not worried about the length - fic of great length tends to be my area - and I even have a basic idea for the fic, after discussing various things with vinylsigns the other week.

I also know that it will ultimately have to be the story of their falling (and accepting that they have fallen) in love, because no one seems to have quite accomplished that fic, yet. The only getting together (if you could call it that) fics of any kind in this fandom usually involved rampant sexual escapades or one sudden deduction and a surreal snog against the nearest wall... and I just don't think it would be like that.

Slow-burning seems much more their kind of thing; something which would slip under the radar and Sherlock couldn't deduct the shit out of, because the changes would be so gradual. Kind of like watching your SO get fat; you don't notice because you see them every day, but then one day you see a picture from a year earlier and think, "Wow. No more Two for Tuesday, then."

So, I basically know what I'm writing, I just don't know how to set it out. May have to occupy myself with a fanvid in the meantime... Hm.



ETA: And for the record 'The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot' would make an excellent Sherlock song. But I don't think I'll vid that one.

So, let's say I'd received some unexpected encouragement to write fic again...

Does anyone still have any interest?

TWNW18 is going to make Jolly Ranchers the saddest candy ever. :(

I thought I'd give up there for a while, but TWNW 17 is virtually complete. It'll be up today, guaranteed.

Anyone want to give it a read-through before I post?

Edit: I do believe that's done. Betas?

This is a serious question relating to a debate between likethepaint, shiny_starlight and myself.

NOTE THAT I MEAN COMPLETELY ALONE, NO PARENT WATCHING OR HELPING AT ALL.

I just watched the pilot of Being Human.

The backstory was good (I liked knowing George's view on his faith - weirdly in the Sixteen Candleverse fic I was writing, the Jew was a werewolf, too; and I liked his reaction in the isolation room - his choice and how hard it was), but I like the series version better.





I really did not need a compulsion to finish/re-write Into The Sun, goddammit.

Fic rec: Extraordinary Things by mickety_split.
