patterns and phases
So, people have been talking about that one story they keep on telling over and over again. Me, I'm jumping on the bandwagon late. Fashionably so? You decide. It's time for the Light Wanktastic.
Regarding plot revisits, I go in phases. In 7th grade, after I just read Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder, the characters in my stories were always realising they were characters in a story. (I was writing origfic then, not fanfiction.) I watched The Matrix at around then too, and that didn't help me out of my phase any. It became an easy way out for me, the way dream sequences and character deaths are easy endings. So, yeah, I got over it. I'm still intensely fascinated by good metafic, though.
Within the past couple of months, the theme is 'life is not a drama and real people are just trying to get by the best they can.' It's just what was on my mind at the time, influenced by weird RL bullshit, you know how it goes. I think you can see reflections of this in my Dogma fic, my Fight Club fic (linked up to the Post Comment page all nice-like, special for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mark356), and also in that unpublished Captain Planet fic that I sent to nitroxa and offyourknees to beta but gee whiz I haven't heard from them in a while.
YO. HWHAIR MAH CAPTAIN PLANET FIC HUUUUUUH.
In my recent fiction, it's not plot that drives me. When I write fics, I'm often driven by relationships. Relationships, not ships, because I'm talking about how characters interact one another, not about whether they're MFEO. Characters that do the right thing for the wrong reasons, let us say. They usually don't end up getting married. They're--in varying degrees--manipulative, selfish, desperate, reluctant. X2's Kurt/Ororo is the exception, because they're so sweet. But yeah, I'm thinking that maybe about 1/3 of my stuff can be posted to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Right now I've got one Murder By Numbers fic in the works. It feels like the first slashfic I've done in a long time, which is kind of weird and kind of nice. I don't feel that Option E or Chalk Lines were slash per se. They were about boys being fucked up and had slashy overtones but y'know.
I'm not ficcing as much these days because I can't relate to my fandoms, or I'm too tired to. If you want a fic about Bobby wandering around the expansive institute grounds staring listlessly at the sky as he holds a University of Oregon viewbook in one hand and a Macalester College application in the other, I'll see what I can do. But for the most part... y'know.
:-\
Bobby's too classy for the University of Oregon anyway.
Maybe tonight I'll rent Murder By Numbers and see if I can finish my fic. I like movie fandoms a lot. I like fics in movie fandoms with nice-looking guys in them. You all should write one or something.
