See, now here's where I bitch about my real life. Except I don't have one, so I'll bitch about fandom and my creative frustrations.
I'm writing fic again. This time, Saiyuki -- Sanzo/Goku to be specific.
This is a case of one of those. pornbunny that grew a plot ideas I tend to get from time to time. Anyone who's read my QaF RPS fic might find it interesting to note that I thought up the sex first, and the rest of the fic was written to make the sex plausible. I generally write a lot of sex into my fic because, well, I'm a tad sex obsessed (who isn't). Only the sex scenes I write up are usually elaborate to the point that they need some explanation. The same goes for established relationship fic. I can't even write porn in the context of an established relationship unless the relationship has either been established in canon or I've established it myself in a prequel fic. I can occasionally riff off other people's work. I did that for fanart once in OUaTiM.
Most of the time, that means I'm stuck writing, like, an actual story when really all I wanted to do was make the pretty men shag each other blind. My fic pretty much always turns out longer than I originally intend it to be. I originally figured 1000-1500 wds for this fic I'm working on now. It is now just over 2000 and looks like it will need another 1500 wds before I actually get to the porn itself. I had to make some changes to my original porn idea (I was originally going for anal, but I'm thinking now that manual and oral would be more appropriate) and I haven't yet fully visualized the new and improved porn idea. So I have no idea how long the porn is going to be. I'm going for one scene's worth, so hopefully somewhere around 700 wds. Then the epilogue. I'm still debating whether the epilogue will take place that night or the morning after.
My main issue with this fic is not the porn, however (porn is usually the aspect of writing that comes easiet to me). My main issue is the dialogue. I have to write two seperate and complete conversations. I really hate writing dialogue. The words never flow naturally. I always feel like I'm pulling teeth trying to get the characterizations right and put in enough snark to keep things interesting and put in enough sexual tension to lead me where I want to go (namely, the naked place).
Goddamnit, but I wish I could just pick a fandom and stick with it, you know? No, I guess you don't know. I'm so all over the place right now. I'm inbetween vids, but my next project is Jay/Slient Bob. I'm writing Saiyuki, and sitting on an unfinished Harry Potter fic and and unstarted Firefly fic. I feel like I owe TF&TF some porn, but I haven't gotten any ideas for a fic as yet. I want to go read One Piece fic, a fandom which has grown quite a lot since the last time I checked in on it.
It's like, okay I was in BtVS for months. Then I was in HP for months. Then I was in EW for months. Than I was in QaF for months. Now I'm kind of in TF&TF, except the fandom just isn't big enough to be my sole interest. So I have all these other fandom's I'm taking slight interest in because they're shiny and they're pretty, but they're not really enough to get obsessed with. I kinda want to get obsessed with Lost and the episodes are taking forever to download and it's *hard* to keep up with a fandom when every episode takes a day to go online and another two days to download. And I miss The OC. I miss it so much.
And I'm not in vidding mode. Vidding is something of a permanent fandom, but I can't be in vidding mode all the time or I'll kill myself. Like, literally. I slept 5-6 hours a night the entire time I was vidding TF&TF and my eyes were in pretty much constant pain and I bitched at any poor unfortunate soul who happened to be on instant messenger. Thankfully![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
permetaform was also in vidding mode. We now share a ridiculous number of inside jokes.
Of course, when I am in vidding mode, most of the rest of the vidders I know aren't, and if they are, they still don't post vid meta nearly as often as I wish they would. I'm stuck writing vid meta, which generally has too much snark and not enough substance and is more bitchy than funny any way you look at it. That or it's just, like, *long* to the point that everyone is going, "Good god, how can she be so verbose?!?"
Like right, now for example. This post. It's a bit long, innit?
Anyway, I'll shut up for now. I have some vidding stuff to get off my chest, but I think I want to give that it's own post, so I'll hold off talking about it.
