#rabid plot bunnies

[ebonyheartnet]

Fucking hell, I’m supposed to be drafting a shitpost for the Phantom Phight, but I tricked myself into starting:

A fic where Skulker wants to make Sam his apprentice

A different fic where Lunch Lady is up in arms again, so Tucker (who has either IBS or Crohn’s, I’m still deciding), and Sam (who has Alpha-Gal syndrome) have to team up to kick her ass, while making lunches accessible for both of them (also Jazz has either celiacs or nut allergies because I said so dammit)

Do you know what both of these are?

Rabid plot bunnies.

Do you know what they are not?

A 300 word shitpost!

*screams into pillow* Damn you plot bunnies!

My phone's news page just decided to go down a really weird rabbit hole, and I have no freaking clue what I did to trigger the algorithm this way.

The first was an article speculating Mary Poppins is a Time Lord. Yeah, okay, I can see why that popped up, since it's Doctor Who related, but it was immediately followed by another article speculating that Mary Poppins and Pennywise are the same species.

Uhhhh... okay?

I have no idea why I randomly got two bizarre Mary Poppins articles, but is my phone trying to tell me that Pennywise is a Time Lord?

Is it TRYING to tempt me with weird shit? Because I'm highly suggestable, and this is an intriguing thought that I don't need right now.

writing problems

Me innocently paying attention to a new plot bunny: I’ll just write a small ficlet about a tattoo…..

5k words later: it fucking grew a plot. This needs to stop….

What do you do when you're stuck running the same test for 9 straight hours and listening to your fic!inspiration Playlist on your iPod? Flesh out writing ideas, of course. Now I have this tenacious (aka rabid) plot bunny that has set up shop in my brain telling me I need to write a Barduil AU where Bard is part of a folk/country-ish duo, and Thranduil is a record exec heading towards a breakup of his marriage thanks to long hours. Thranduil is helping Bard's duo on their new record to get his relationship woes off his mind and talking his troubles out with Bard in his spare time. Meanwhile Bard's songwriting is all about a relationship gone wrong and finding new love...cause Bard's secretly crushing on Thranduil like it's going out of style. Cue Thranduil figuring it out after the album is released and making a grand gesture to Bard at an industry party. *head desk* Is there an amnesty program for wayward plot bunnies? Cause I don't have the time to write this at the moment...not with the crazy pants hours I'm pulling at the lab. *le sigh*

In which Monty Python nails the concept of a rabid plot bunny.

Needs to apologize to all 28 followers in advance

I had a plot bunny (and insistence by my #1 Fan) that my novella Nightmares and Dreamscapes was missing a chapter to make it outstanding. I am bleeding from where it bit me - hard. I mean drawing blood need to see a doctor hard. 

So - my chapters released will continue through chapter 10 - but I am frantically writing and first editing of Chapter 11 (and maybe twelve) before I can release the Epilogue and Postscript to the story.

I thought I was done - but it turns out that it was missing the piece de resistance... so I am feverishly writing it. Never ignore what your bibliophile Aunt has to tell you. She might have a great point and an even better idea.   

Maybe by this time next week, the story will be completely uploaded.
