It's been so long since I've posted anything on here. I don't even know how long. I don't know if anything will come of it or not, bit I have this INSANE plot bunny running around in my head that has characters from Supernatural, Buffy, Angel, and Dr. Who. But Supernatural is from dimension 1, most of the Buffy characters are from dimension 2, the rest are from dimension 3, the one Angel character (not Angel) is from dimension 3, and the Doctor who character, possibly two, I haven't decided yet, is/are from dimension 4. There is also a 5th dimension. Supernatural is dimension 1 because it is the only one that will run true to it's TV show universe up to the point of this story. Buffy's storyline and the character from Angel's storyline will have diverged. The Doctor Who character or two will probably fit right back into their storylines due to time travel.
Time runs at different speeds in each dimension, but it also gets messed up a little with what happens in the story, so it takes place late in season 5 of Buffy, but doesn't match what season of Angel it would be then. It takes place post season 5 of Supernatural, even though that was years after Buffy ended. The Doctor Who character/s was/were well after Buffy ended and might have been congruent with Supernatural, I'd have to check. Not that it matters, time and dimensions have run amok.
So far I've written a little over 1000 words. I wrote it on the 12th, my 53rd birthday. Maybe I gave myself a present, getting back into the writing game. I need to pull my thoughts together more and try to iron out an outline. I haven't written anything at all in maybe two years, I think, so anything that gets that going again is a good thing, even if it ends up going nowhere. Even if I do write it, I'd have no idea where to post it. I don't know if there will be enough Dr. Who content to put it up on Teaspoon. I have stayed far away from the Supernatural online fandom for the most part. It might be great at conventions, but online it got a little crazy. I'd read a bit here and there, but I didn't participate in conversations because they often devolved into fights between factions.
I was active in the BtVS fandom back in the day under a different name. I didn't write in it, but that was bulletin board stuff and there were a lot of word limits due to space constraints. LJ, while it existed, was not then what it became later, and I wasn't on it until well after I started posting DW fic on Teaspoon. When I was in the Buffy fandom, Google was a brand new sparkling baby, having to compete hard with Ask Jeeves. Most people still didn't know what it was when Willow said her famous line about "googling her" in Conversations with Dead People. Now people don't know what Ask Jeeves was.
I only ever wrote one Buffy fic and that was a fix it fic for myself, because I hated the whole way things ended with Spike and Buffy's last scene in season six so I rewrote it so it didn't happen, but Spike was still driven to leave and get his soul back. I was so angry that those writers would do that to them. I was content to read others' stories. Nothing really got me fired up to write until the end of season 2 of Doctor Who. That broke me and I wrote fix it after fix it. But I digress.
Anywho, I'm going to give it a whirl and see how it goes. It may go nowhere at all. I'll see if I can get a few chapters banged out in the next few weeks before I'll even think of actually posting anything. Don't want to just post an introductory chapter and never post anything on it again. And yes, I know I have about 3 or 5 other stories that I need to finish, but there are not "finish me" plot bunnies nipping at my heels. There is this.
I've only ever written one crossover fic and it was a one shot with Claude Raines from Heroes and Rose Tyler from Doctor Who. This is not a one shot. I don't think it will be an epic, but it will definitely be a decent multi-chapter if I can get it off the ground. I'll write if for me if for no one else. I love these fandoms and I love writing. If anything can get me back in the habit so I can get back to work on novel writing, I'll be more than happy to pound it out.
Working Title is Dimensions Torn Open.
Sorry, I don't even remember how to do a cut so you all aren't hit with a wall of text. Is there anyone still around who can remind me?
