A mental conversation
May. 14th, 2018 09:47 pmBrain: Hey. Him and Me and You and Her is at 491 kudos. We might hit 500 by the end of the week. Heck, we might hit it by the end of tomorrow.
Me: Hmm. I still wanna do something to celebrate if I hit that, but taking prompts is not looking great. I have no idea how to advertise that I'm doing that, since I'm mostly keeping my fandom stuff on DW, or how many people would be willing to respond over here even if I did. Maybe I could post something new, include it in the end notes?
Brain: That thing you wrote based on that one post by![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
thescuttlebugg is finished.
Me: Yeah, but I'm not happy with it. And it's going to take a lot of work before I am happy with it, even if it is readable as it is.
Me: As for my other WIPs, I'm not posting any of Metamour or Less to AO3 until it's complete, the animal transformation fic is still only in outline stages and will take a good while to finish, and anything else I've thought about is just. Not getting anywhere any time soon.
Brain: How about a trope, then.
Me: Hmm. Maybe. What've you got?
Brain: There was only one bed?
Me: I mean, I could, but I'm not getting anything for it.
Brain: Well, how about one we haven't seen in a while: a good, old-fashioned Blanket Scenario.
Me: ...You have my attention.
Brain: Great! Here's a brief outline for one from Adrien's POV.
Me: Mnnn. Not that I don't like it, but I feel like I've been writing a lot of Adrien POV recently, and kinda want to do a bit more Marinette - or even someone else.
Brain: Okay, we can do that. *tweaks a few details* How's this?
Me: I mean, I like it, but we both know how seriously Marinette takes the whole identity thing. I'm sure she'd try to come up with some way to avoid finding out to the best of her abilities, and while we can do that, it's also slightly less fun.
Brain: Well. What if there's spooning? She'd have to be the big spoon, too, for most effective warming-up.
Brain: And while this would keep her from learning the identity of pretty much anyone else you can think of...
Me: Okay, I'm tentatively in. I'll start looking up stuff tomorrow.
Me: Right now, though, more sleep.
