You must watch Buffy! I would be dying to know where your shipping feeling goes when you watch it. There's two main possibilities: the Bad Boyfriend who broods and guards you from a distance with cryptic advice but kisses really freaking well and loves you completely, or the Bad Boyfriend who takes you to play drunken kitten poker and has crazy hot sex and always has your back and loves you completely. Both solid choices! (but some more solid than others, LOL.)
How are you updating your story, and where? Is it for Nanowrimo, or will it be done in a Nanowrimo-esque way? Is it completely original fic?
I haven't written any yet--no, that's a lie. I wrote 3 lines of dialogue with a vagina joke. But really, I haven't started yet. I'm trying to work out the parameters of what I want the story to be, so I'm writing a lot of notes about characters, symbols, relationships. I'll probably try the actual writing when I feel like I have a good idea of the main characters and what they want. I may need a giant story wall or something, LOL, to chart it out.
It's completely original, yes. I was thinking about my enjoyment of the recent superhero movies, and about how the only superheroes I've ever really liked were Buffy and Sailor Moon, and how I'd like to see more shows like that. So I decided I'd create my own superhero, written by a woman for a general audience. Plus, I was feeling I needed to start writing something original already or I'd go crazy.
I'm treating it like fic, because fic doesn't scare me. Irrel's helping with that because I talk to her about it as if it were fanfic. With fic, I have to know about the characters before hand. A starting place. Likewise, I'm trying to create a starting place right now in my head and in my notes. Certain rules about the verse, and rules about the characters. Basic profiles, personal ticks, etc. I've heard that outlining is a bad idea, but I've often outlined fanfic, and I can't operate on a blank slate. I get overwhelmed.
