starzki | Post in which "awesome" is overused

I really want to do the shipping meme, but I don't think I have enough time in a day to keep up with it. I will think about it.

I have a completely awesome fic inspired by a mirsan_fics prompt: Dream. I want to do a Sandman crossover. It would be awesome! But I've sketched it out in my head to a point where the story progresses awesomely, there is an awesome confrontation, and then... Sango and Dream just look at each other and both stubbornly refuse to budge on their terms. So the story has staaaaaaaalled. I just hate that. When the characters won't do what you want them to. :( Every compromise I try to have them make just doesn't make sense for either character.

Grr. I love stubborn characters, but why did I want to write a story about TWO of them? It would be so awesome if they would just cooperate with me.

Been watching FMA Brotherhood with

scribefigaro. Wanting to fanfic. However, I'm still at the self-insert stage of wanting to fanfic. This means I don't know enough about the characters to actually write them, so I want to write others' perspectives of them. Will have to watch more and see what happens.

Work is work. I think I've made up my mind to quit at the end of October. I have a conference I need to prepare for in November, plus interviews (if my applications have generated any interest), also, I need to start writing my dissertation in publishable, article form so that I don't stagnate academically.

So, yeah. That's what's up in my world.
