Have just had a quick look round my flist. Lots of interesting stuff everywhere. If I didn't feel so muzzy-headed I'd try to join in the conversation, but I feel like I have nothing intelligent to say about anything. :(

Also, miffed to realise that I can't write this Darla fic exactly how I wanted, because of an annoying 12 year gap between when I wanted to set it and when certain events took place. Bother. Never mind, though. At the moment, it's far easier to write things inside my head than on screen/paper. Inside my head, I've written an angsty Captain Jack/Captain John post-TW:CoE fic (in reality, I've only written a page and a half), an Age of Reason romp through darkest London featuring Angelus and Darla (in reality, I've again only written a page and a half), this other Darla story featuring guest appearances by various Pre-Raphaelites (the one I thought would be shorter and therefore easier to get done in time for my own ficathon, and of which I've written not a word), a long, plotty Spangel story (have actually written 30 pages of this and am stalled), a series of slave fics for sickchicks (actually written, but for various reasons need totally re-writing), a sequel to A Man and His Dog (exists only in my head), and the next story in my Spike/Giles season 7 re-write (again, only in my head).

Hmm. I've written a lot, haven't I? In my head.

No writer's block for you!

[shapinglight]

Not in my head anyway.

[quinara]

In my head I've written about four novels... :D

[shapinglight]

Only four? But I forget - you're still very young.

[quinara]

I'm just not fickle in my attentions. ;)

[shapinglight]

That's what I like to see. Application.

[rahirah]

In my head, writing is a lot easier somehow...

[shapinglight]

Funny, that.

[next_to_normal]

I tell ya, whoever figures out how to get the writing in my head onto the computer without me having to type it will be my HERO.

[shapinglight]

When you're finished with them, can you send them my way?

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Ah, the reams of fic I've written in my head!

I have similar annoying problem with my Drogyn fic. Do you think if I mixed parts of the second crusade with the first that anyone would notice?

[shapinglight]

Erm - possibly. You wouldn't be the first to do it, though, I'm sure.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Drat.

Your head is busier than my head. I have three false starts to my Darla story, whose main problem is none of them is actually a story, and I'm suddenly blank. I shall find a couple of drabbles to write and come back to it when I've regained the ability to plot.

[shapinglight]

Never mind. There's plenty of time. Also, as someone who has yet to write more than a couple of decent drabbles, I'm rather envious.

I definitely can identify with the stories-written-in-your-head thing!

[shapinglight]

:sigh: If only there were some way to transfer what's in our heads directly, without the annoying having to find some free time to sit down and think/type it all up part.

Ah, I have several stories in my head, too, and none of them is Darla yet. Sigh. I think I need to finish my Spander first. And the stupid RL writing with the looing deadline.

[shapinglight]

Ah, I have several stories in my head, too, and none of them is Darla yet.

It'll come. In my experience, she's pretty persistent that way.

[whichclothes.livejournal.com]

I'm sure you're right. Just need to give her some time. And that was supposed to read *looming* deadline, of course! *g*

a sequel to A Man and His Dog

I first read this as a sequel to One Man and His Dog, and thought My God, Shapinglight is writing sheepdog slash!

[shapinglight]

My God, Shapinglight is writing sheepdog slash!

Well, it's not so big a step. I've already written Spike/sled dog almost slash.
