Reading and Writing, October 12

This entry is part 11 of 11 in the series Daily Scribble Reports

So I signed up for Nanowrimo, and ONLY because there's a 50% off Scrivener attached to winning. Am I pathetic or just greedy for Scrivener?

Ahem. Anyway...

So got Scrivener all set up on my machine, replied to a couple comments, noted I really ought to peek at the hundreds of spam notifications in my email, but decided not to. Thought I'd write more off the computer, but percolated instead. While I did get something written, it was short enough to lump it in with when I actually finished the piece.

Calling it a night.

True.

Well, they could. It might happen.

Haha. I shouldn't find that so funny, and I shouldn't think of saying I should prompt more monsters... Though I had a horrible AU thought to throw at you and haven't, so I guess I'm not that bad, not as bad as I could be.

[scribblemyname]

AU? :shows tentative interest:...

[thecatisacritic.livejournal.com]

The thought was...

That Kilter wasn't kept from knowing about Elizabeth. That they were able to use that against him, too.

Yeah. Um... I said it was a horrible idea.

[scribblemyname]

I did think of that one once. I couldn't make it plausible with the characters, but it would make a good straight-up fanfic what-if. Hm. I don't think I'm up for it due to the utter angst thereof and other canon fics to be done, but yeah. It is interesting thinking.

[thecatisacritic.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's an interesting thought. It would be horrible angst, though.

I was considering the Shift/Kilter dynamic now, what I've seen of it, and I thought about how different it would be if they'd both paid the price for their daughter. Of course, I kept going back to the idea that it would have corrupted him in a way where he wasn't him, and I don't think Thorn would have lasted as long as it did... Or maybe neither of them would have.

I thought about the idea of Burnfire's team not opting to stay, either, but that was more of a passing thing.

[scribblemyname]

Yeah, I haven't really dove back into Team Five and Seven because I played it all out and now, I have to dredge the memory banks for it. I didn't end up writing the book and jettisoned most of my material. Which makes recreating a bear. It's still there though. The bones of it gave me a lot of other bones, including this entire storyworld.

[thecatisacritic.livejournal.com]

Well, it's good it gave you all this story world.

You might get to the book someday.

If I ever stop prompting you away from it with stuff for Justus/Rachelle.

[scribblemyname]

No. I gave up the book for a reason. It went with the book that blocked me on original fiction for a year and a half. Emotionally, it's all tied up in that mess and if I go back there, I think I'd lose half my soul, so I don't mess with it. What's gone is gone. I might write more about those teams, but I'll never write THAT story. And I repurposed several key characters from it so I'd make it mutually exclusive with current canon.

[thecatisacritic.livejournal.com]

Oh.

I didn't realize it was like that.

Does that mean that there won't ever be the linchpin story with Burnfire staying, then?

[scribblemyname]

There'll be a ficlet. I'd never written that scene, though it played in my head. And there will be other ficlets, just not the book about those two teams.

[thecatisacritic.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay.
