a post about ficwriting

[chicafrom3]

Does anyone else get concepts for AU fics recurring in their heads? I mean. There's this AU idea I thought up a long time ago, tried to write, failed to write, and put aside with a shrug of "was not meant to be", but every so often it pops back up in my head. It's very annoying, because I'm never any closer to actually writing it.

(This particular fic concept is an Andromeda AU based pretty much entirely on the fact that Harper's middle name is 'Zelazny'. On the other hand, you know, Harper's middle name is Zelazny. Why has no one written an AU where he's immortal and part of a big, scheming, batshit crazy family of immortals?)

(No, I don't know why my brain works the way it does.)



Unrelated, is there anyone who'd be willing to do a quick beta of a Doctor Who OC-centric fic? It's due to be posted for lgbtfest on the twelfth and I'm very unsure of it. ...I had a feeling when I signed up for this I'd regret it. :|

WHY YES IT IS LAST-MINUTE.

Bwaaaah. Possibly because Zelazny's works may be (relatively) unknown among the fandom? ((Darn you, now I'm trying to crossover This Immortal with Andromeda.))

((Darn you, now I'm trying to crossover This Immortal with Andromeda.))

I have absolutely no idea how you could plausibly meld those two canons but if you can pull it off DO IT. *enables* Because that would be amazing.

Regardless of obscurity, there should be some sort of Zelazny tribute fic.
