hmpfFor example, when forty wives of Methos turn up in your head at half past four in the morning, insisting their stories be told, and told *now*. All I really wanted to do was sleep.
This is why I usually prefer to work without inspiration, even if it doesn't get me six pages of notes in twenty minutes.
Has somebody already done this, btw? A story about *all* of Methos' wives? Not that I could stop writing now, this thing is frelling insistent - but I'd like to know if I'm treading familiar ground. It's a bit of an experiment (again), but it's a very *obvious* experiment, so I wouldn't be surprised if somebody thought of it before me.

LOL. No worries. I thought at least someone I knew deserved a proper review of thier fic. Didn't realise how long it was till I posted it though...!

I'm sure he's had a harem at various points in his history,

Date: 2006-01-28 09:33 pm (UTC)Well, here is a plot bunny or two (*hands over*) and good luck with the fic should you decide to write it :)

Date: 2006-01-29 11:00 am (UTC)Hesitating to pimp own fiction, but I had a small try with Fugue 68, non-linear, enormous fun to write. I think you could do something spectacular with this. Go for it - posting in, er, a little while?
Maybe my life would have gone differently if I had thought to bring a towel.
Love.
You're the author of the week here ;-)
Date: 2006-02-15 10:22 pm (UTC)"Alien Corn" is very striking, but I'm a bit too stupid for it, I think. I'll reread it a couple of times, though. Maybe I was just too tired when I first read it. Loved a lot of the images in it; just felt like I was missing part of the meaning or the plot or something. I'll see what I can read between the lines, next time.
Loved "Such a Grave Joy" (heh... so we've both killed Methos! We kill what we love, eh?)
Loved "Fugue 68", although the ending, of course, does not quite work for me, as Duncan/Methos *still* somehow goes very much against something inside me, grr arrgh. (Oddly enough I'm fine with it if it's done the way you did it in "Alien Corn". The only slash I like is twisted slash? Hm. Perhaps. Or, no. I dunno.) Anyway, no fault of the story, but a fault of mine, rather. And my own 68 wives story will be sufficiently different, I think.
And that's all I've read so far. Expect more feedback... sometime, when the Catalan archaeologists give me some peace. Probably in a couple of weeks, when I get around to sending *everybody* whose stuff I've read in the last couple of weeks feedback, in order to prepare for updating my recs page for the first time in five years or so. (You'll be on it.) Possibly after Leeds.
