Well, I do have to admit it's something of a relief to know I'm not the only one with a ton of ideas and no time. (Though I really did know that already.)
Historical research is a killer in terms of time, though - just when you think you've done enough, you realize you haven't even started. And I've only done historical research for familiar cultures - trying to do the research for a culture that's as different as Japan's would be a headache and a half. (Fascinating, but still a headache.) And you're way to conscientious a writer to do it by halves. (And that's a good thing.)
I admit I have never seen Fringe, so I take your word for it that it'd be a natural crossover with Pete's World. But any universe that has Zeppelins - I'm surprised only one person's being writing it so far. But I don't understand why it won't ever happen (apart from the time thing). Why couldn't Nine lecture in the Bridge Room? He's so good at it!
