A Problem in 5 steps

[kawuli]

1. This is a thing that exists:


2. @lorata gets “The Sword of Moss and Rain” and:


3. Four double-sided pages of notes on a story in which magic is women’s work and wars are fought with steel (by men), until something something invasion, all weapons confiscated, woman magic-user creates a sword out of water, strategery, gender shenanigans, overthrow the government, HOORAY!


Which would all be cool except…

4. I will probably never actually write it.

and also

5. I have like 4 WIPs and a thesis I need to write first.

Whether you write it or not, I'm always impressed with your many story ideas! You never seem to be lacking in plots!

(I feel like I'm always more 'Okay, I know I need an actual plot, but where might I find one?' XD;)

Ha, I get that too. Like "I want a story about Eleven from Stranger Things meeting Laura from Logan...... but I guess they should, y'know, DO something?"

And then randomly plot-things occur to me and demand to be written. Now if I could just get the characters and the plots to actually line up, I'd be set XD

I always feel like there's a bit more freedom to have less plot in fanfic, but you still need something?

Ha ha ha, plot and characters- now that would be the dream!
