Cowboy Bebop fic

timepiececlockI just read the final chapter of Bob5's epic "You Can't Take It With You" and horror of horrors it's making me want to go back and start up my unwritten Cowboy Bebop megafic. The 20 chapter post-series fanfic that I outlined to the smallest detail and wrote an intro for and even picked chapters names for (snagged from Shel Silverstein and E.E.Cummings), but never actually sat down to write. And it is SO wrong to be thinking of that now because I'm absolutely totally committed to my current fics and I'm behind on all of them too. Damn my inability to follow through!
I was especially pleased with that outline, too... it was all about mythological symbolism and names. God, who DOESN'T love mythological symbolism and names with hidden meanings? It was going to be about a child slavery ring and about Spike finally acting like an adult and facing life again and about family (the kind you make and the kind you're born with) and about love and loyalty and I had a villain named Hector the Collector. Which was just neat. I had plans for a smutty flashback and this was going to be my friggin' stab at babyfics, but only not a babyfic at all, if that makes any kind of twisted sense. I even made up a real birth name for Spike. Like every fangirl who writes a multichapter fic does.
Realistically, it's been so long since I've seen Bebop that I couldn't write it now if I tried. Spike would be so OOC he'd be an alien.
If anyone is curious, I might post the outline.

How long has your Bebop epic been brewing for now? You definitely should post it. Like Bob5 says, there's a renaissance happening. You need to make sure you get a seat!
