Life Viewed Through an Amber Focus

Why is it I get these overwhelming, fully-fledged plot bunnies when I am desperately trying to work on other stories? When I am trying to finish fics that have been on the back burner for far too long? I'm not even sure what to call this one. AU? Fever dream? Nightmare? Alien plot? All of it? Stupid TTU prompt. It grabbed me hard and doesn't want to let me go. Normally I wouldn't mind so much, but it's massive and it doesn't want to be wrestled down to the nice, neat size of a one-shot. In other words, way too big for TTU. *grumble grumble*

After viewing the first five minutes of Fringe tonight I am absolutely desperate yet again for someone to write a Ten2/Rose in Pete's World crossover.  I so love this show.  I want this show to mate with Doctor Who and have fanfic babies.

And did anyone else think of the window in the DW Fanfic Both by wishiknewwho when they saw this ep?  Oooh, that's who should write the crossover.  She has all the elements in place for it.  wishiknewwho do you watch Fringe?  Because if you do, you could so do this.  And if you don't, go, watch, enjoy, then come write the fic, pretty, pretty please? *grins*  Or you know, anyone else.

<----------  I am thinking of changing my default icon to this.  It's off my Hunger Moon banner that angelfireeast made for me.  Still not sure I'm going to, I"m quite fond of my Ten/Rose one, it's just...they look so serious, not quite happy.  And I've been gravitating more and more to writing Nine fics.  Well, except for the Zeppelins 'verse.  I've been looking through tons of icon pages trying to find something that really appeals to me.  Plenty that do as icons, but none that really have as a day to day one that I want to look at all the time.  This one I really like seeing in the banner, so I thought why not?  I asked angelfireeast ages ago if she minded me making it into an icon, back when I was making alt!TARDIS icons with her pink TARDIS manip she made me and she said it was okay, so I finally got around to doing it.  And no one else will have anything like it, and I like that in a default icon, too.  Hmm...what do you all think, f-list?  Think it's time for a change?

You know that stupid plot bunny that bit me a few weeks ago?  The one that came totally out of left field and bit me on the ankle and I had to kick it hard to send it away because I so did not want to stumble into another fandom and start writing there?  Especially one that's horribly complicated?  The Jack Harkness/Claire Bennett, Torchwood/Heroes crossover fic that I wasn't going to write?  Yeah, that one.  It's got over 1000 words written on it.  It comes in fits and starts, has been straggling in a paragraph or so at a time now.  And...well...it actually seems to be...good.  I'm almost afraid of what might happen if I chose to focus on it.

It's from Jack's point of view.  So far, anyway.  I know Jack inside and out, know how to write him backwards and forwards.  I have a handle on Claire I think, or how I think she'd be at 156 years old.  Hardened, yet still a bit naive.  Good with a gun.  Calculating, calm, and cool, but with a surprising ability to laugh at herself.  And with a heart, that once you get to it, is fiercely loyal and protective.  Yes, I've been thinking about it far too much for a fic I'm supposedly not going to write. *growls*

I just got bit by a Claire Bennett/Jack Harkness crossover fic plot bunny.  WTF?  I don't write Heroes!  And I don't have time for a new fic now anyway.  But where the heck did it come from?  Because someone needs to redirect that bunny to the appropriate new owner.
