So, buried in the bowels of last night's obsessive posting was this little fact: I wrote Hair porn last night. Like... 3,537 words of Hair porn. All feverishly in one sitting like I always used to write Hair fics. O_O I mention this for two reasons:
1) I'm kind of in love with this story, like... embarrassingly in love with it. And it probably actually sucks. *sweatdrop* Sort of like how you feel for that bratty child that you should probably hate for all the trouble he/she causes you, but secretly just adore. Still, it's the first thing I've written in a while that I'm actually proud of, especially the fact that it wrote itself so easily... no struggle. Not to mention that I'm happy to have my Hair muse back... deliriously happy.
2) Which bring me to my other problem... this fic has two irritating quirks that I can not quite iron out... and it's giving me agita.
What are they? I'm glad you asked... ;)
First... I feel I have overused the word "desperate" in this story. It's appropriate in each instance that I've used it and no other word I can think of is quite right. I've cut the use of an adjective entirely in the places I can to cut down on the problem spots, but still...
(Huh... having done a search through the document, it seems that there are 8 uses of variations of the word "desperate." That's... not really so bad, is it? Maybe... maybe I'm just being obsessive and should leave it alone... O_o;;;)
Second... Thanks to the tour, I have a new, unexpected quandary. I wrote this fic using the descriptions of everyone that I've always used -- based off the OBRC, because my head!canon Claude will always look like Gavin, my head!canon Woof will always look like Bryce Ryness, and my Sheila like Caissie Levy... but it was Steel and Paris who inspired me to write this. So, it's totally stupid, but I almost feel like I cheated their versions of Claude and Berger out of something by not using their physical descriptions. Is that totally insane or does that make sense? *frets* Damn it. I hate when I overthink this sort of shit. *grumps*
I mean, Caren and Caissie's portrayals of Sheila and Bryce and Matt's portrayals of Woof are so very different that, depending on how the characters are acting in the story, I could totally pick a description and have it fit whichever actor's portrayal was most appropriate (almost always Caissie and Bryce, but that's partly defaulting)... but Steel and Paris' Berger and Claude are different. The more I see them, the more I'm falling in love with how they interact and I find that pulling into my head!canon for fic purposes. So... if I'm drawing off of them for inspiration, I feel like I should at least give the characters the appropriate physical descriptions... but I do not want to give up my head!canon Claude and Berger! *kick, scream, whinewhinewhine*
THIS IS FAR MORE THOUGHT THAN THIS PROBLEM SHOULD REQUIRE. *falls over* Anyone want to help me out and just tell me I'm being stupid? *sweatdrop*
