Well, I had a strange afternoon today, at least as far as writing goes. I mean, I sat down in front of my computer with the plan to finish a very specific Good Omens fic, and started typing.
And then, a little later, I had to frown at my word processor and say, "Wait a minute, this isn't the particular GO fic I was going for. This isn't even in the right
fandom. This isn't even a fandom I've ever
written for..."
So I opened a new file and started typing in it. And then, after a while, I realized that I had, again, missed my target. "This is
not the particular GO fic I was going for. In fact," said I, "this isn't even in the right fandom. This isn't even a fandom I've
ever written for..."
At this point I was sitting on a
drabbley Lucifer thing and an
odd Smallville ficlet, so I sent them off to
daegaer and
bravecows's drabble memes, respectively. I couldn't figure out what else they could conceivably be
for.
Of course, at this point, I'd written past my daily word count target (unusual, for me), so I debated giving up and having dinner. But then I thought, Nah, one more try.
So I started on another blank page and, um, you might have heard this story before. But, at least, the new fic
did have a purpose, because it's pretty much what
yonmei requested.
