The muse has been pretty funny about this one. I got the idea in August of last year and at the time felt really strongly about it at the time but I've only ever written a couple pages of it. I do think it could be really fun to play around with though.
The ticky box compelled me. *eally, isn't any use*
Anyhow, I think you need to write where your muse leads you. If this is what you want to do, then go ahead and do it. (If the ticky box hadn't distracted me, I would have added OMG YES.)
Ticky boxes are really hard to resist, I know! Well, you're the only one who's been to exposed to this and my other crackfic ideas before, so I you've been useful already. I don't know, like I said the other day, my muse is MIA right now, but maybe working on something new would be helpful.
Well, nobody's said no anyway. It's a much nicer response than I was expecting. I will give it a try. I worry it would get very complicated and I have this tendency to want to do all this political stuff and write about how that world is run, and I would have trouble getting to the slashy parts.
nah. leave the politics to the imagination and the sex to be drawn out it in a lot of detail. you can usually slip that info in decreetly anyhow, fit snug inside the action.
i am not good as a grammatical beta. but i do think i could function pretty well as a content beta. if you would like, i could help slash (heh) out some of the unnecessary backstory or other details that aren't necessary for the slashy story you want to tell.
That would be really wonderful, thank you so much for the offer! I was thinking it would be helpful to have someone to just blab about ideas to for a while and then also show and get content help with later. I do pretty well with grammar and mechanics myself so that's really more what I need anyway.
I've been reading a lot of those AU ficlets airgiodslv did recently and I'm SO IMPRESSED at how she manages to get us into that these other universes in such short pieces, and somehow keeps the emphasis on the characters and what they're feeling, and not setting up the, well, setting. *totally jealous* So yeah, slipping it in discreetly, that would probably be the thing to go for.
I should probably mention that I haven't written any of this yet. It's just an idea I've had for a long time.
Hee, thanks for the enthusiasm, it really does help. I felt a little presumptuous for putting the fourth option that way, but then I figured you would go for it even if nobody else did. ♥
I think you should write anything you want to write. Truth to tell, I loved the book Black Hawk Down but I couldn't tell you any of the characters who were in it, except Orli because he died. He did die, didn't he? Anyway, the book was so excellent that the movie fell short in terms of its emotional impact, even though I think the beginning was very well done.
I do like Deep Impact and Leo (and Morgan Freeman, will he be in it? I want him for my President!!!). I'd happily read it if you want to try it.
I think he died, yes, but I always have trouble with those army movies because the buzz cuts make it hard for me to keep all the characters straight, and also because of all the violence. Actually one of several reasons I've hesitated to write this is that I don't especially want to watch BHD again. I really just want to have a smart and sympathetic army guy played by Josh is all. The time frames and ages don't work either, if Matt fought in Somalia in '93 but Leo's still in high school at the end of the 90s... but whatever, it's crossover crackfic, it'll work out.
I do love Deep Impact and should probably buy the DVD. Morgan Freeman's my favorite movie president ever.
Oh my goodness is that inspiring. Look at them both so noble and sad with the weight of the world on their shoulders! Think of all the guilt and grief after everybody dies! Nnnnngh! So good to hear from people, I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who likes Deep Impact
