Dear Doctor

Just got my [community profile] intoabar assignment, and, as usual, my immediate response was to burst out laughing. Not sure how this one's going to go, but given that the dynamic is "multiverse's most unsubtly flirty woman meets multiverse's most socially oblivious man," it can surely only be entertaining.

For bringing me some much-needed comic relief at work today, I would like to thank the guy who, during a conversation about Star Trek, informed me in the tones of someone imparting a rich, strange, scandalous, juicy secret that there was a lot of fanfiction out there, and did I know a ton of it was about Kirk and Spock having a relationship? Isn't that weird?

I think I deserve an Oscar for mostly keeping a straight face at that point.

How To Fix It

I've kept trying not to think about it, but a lot of the stuff about the Good Omens finale that bothers me has kept going round and round in my head since I watched it. I was just taking to [personal profile] elisi about some of it, and she mentioned that if she weren't currently in the middle of writing a bunch of other fics, she would be totally up for doing a ficcish re-write of the episode to fix the stuff that annoyed her (which, interestingly, are the exact opposite of the parts that really bugged me). I can only agree, because that's something I've been thinking about a lot, and I've been tempted by it, myself. It's not happening, though. Not because I've got other fics on the go, but because it's a giant project I probably do not have time for, especially as the more I think about it, the more I think I'd really have to re-write the whole thing in order to re-write the end, which is the part I really care about, and I suck at plot. Also because I'm not sure I can bring myself to re-watch it.

But I finally decided that I really did need to just get all my damned thoughts for how I'd want to do it out of my head. So, here they are. The way I'd approach re-writing it to make the ending work for me. Not a completely different ending. Just the things that would need to be expanded, emphasized, and tweaked to make what the ending was trying to do actually work for me the way it's intended to.

And you know what? Having sat down and spewed all of this out, I do actually feel a lot better. Lighter. Less sad. Hopefully it will last. Maybe this can be the version that lives in my head now, and I can pretend it's how the show actually did present things in the full season it should have had.

And even though this was really pretty much for my own benefit, I will also share with the class in case anyone is interested. Although maybe keep in mind that this is probably a lot more on the "raw, unedited brain spewings" end of things than I usually like to post. Except for the footnotes. I totally edited in the footnotes. (Or, in once case, moved a long and clunky parenthetical thought down there. Even if all my other long and clunky parenthetical thoughts stayed where they were.)

Presenting a little thing called, 'How to fix it' )

Back To The Bingo Card

Still very, very slowly working through this Gen Prompt Bingo card from last round. I think I've kind of gotten stuck on second person for a bit now, for some reason. Probably because so many people hate it, and I am nothing if not a contrary soul when it comes to these things. Anyway, have a small bad guy character study thingy, or something.

Title: Not Easy Having Yourself a Good Time
Fandom: Gravity Falls
Characters/Relationships: Bill Cipher
Rating/Warnings: G-rated, no warnings unless you count, y'know, destroying an entire dimension
Tags: character study, second person
Length: ~650 words
Summary: Says he's happy; he's a liar.
Author's Notes: Written for Gen Prompt Bingo, for the prompt "anhedonia (lack of pleasure)."

Not Easy Having Yourself a Good Time

Well, That's That

So. I just watched what Amazon is apparently for some reason still calling "Season 3" of Good Omens. And, well. Yeah.

Spoilers, albeit kind of vague ones )
