Inspiration is damned inconvenient, sometimes.

[hmpf]

For 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.

40 wives? Ay caramba!

68, actually. The man marries too frelling often!

But only 40 of them were pestering me last night/this morning.

BTW, thanks for the mammoth feedback for 'Normal'. *g*

Oh my frelling god...He has a harem!

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,

but mainly, he's just really, really old. 5000 years is a lot of time to get married 68 times. Even if you factor in the 1000 years he spent as a - probably unmarried - murdering barbarian, that's only one wife per 59 years, and that's *not* counting any cases of polygamy. *g*

Yeah, I suppose I wasn't really thinking about that (oops!).

Well, here is a plot bunny or two (*hands over*) and good luck with the fic should you decide to write it :)
