writer's block.
I swear my inspiration is bipolar -- either I have so many ideas I don't have the time to write it all, or I rake my brain for hours and nothing happens. Gnnh. And the periods where I'm stuck are always so much longer than my fits of writing-machine-ness.
-Teamwork 3 is stuck. I have a list of things that must happen, and before I started trying to write it I also thought I had a good mental picture of what was going on. I was wrong. It's confusing, I'm not writing it percussively enough, and I'm afraid I won't reach the necessary level of epicness for a scene that contains a rampaging Kyuubi. And there's something missing to the action, but I'm not sure what.
... oh. =__=; Perhaps just the fact that the scene is Sakura POV as she runs away while Sasuke is fighting. Which, uh, considering that she's still going "oh shit what happened to my chakra it burns oww oww oww dizzy" and the whole hill is sinking underground is a pretty damn good idea, but -- how can I describe the epic epicness of Kyuubi going BWAHAHAHAHA *PWNS* when she's not even looking his way?! And how come she doesn't try to help Sasuke or wake up Naruto. Argh. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
Also my reason why Team Summons decided to stick with Sakura for the moment just doesn't work right, I've got to find a better way to present it. Argh, again.
-Teamwork Suna is... I don't know. I have Sasuke's scene, but it feels... not IC enough? A bit trivial? I think I'm having cognitive dissonance between the characters as they are when Kyuubi bursts out, and the characters as they were back when they were dragging their feet to Sand country and being kinda sulky and cute and stuff. I can't judge it right.
(alos I have two scenes where Naruto gets hit on by a kunoichi, but when Kigane did that Naruto reacted as if it was his first time, so unless I present it right I can't use this scene, what with the suna thing supposedly happening before the chuunin exam. Stupid chronology, who needs that? DX )
-Cyborgness: Still not sure what the hell Naruto was doing while Sasuke searched for him, though Jo helped give me ideas. Now I've got to wait for them to develop a bit before I can tell whether they'll work. Crossed Wires is always so hard to write. ~__~
-mermaidiness. My biggest problems right now are
1) the beginning is boring, blahblah they meet and socialize yay... boring. booooring.
2) I probably need to find a way to link Arun and Krish with what the big bad want to take from the waterworld, and THAT would lead to them meeting the pirates, instead of a more or less chance meeting. Also when the Thing turns up it won't look like I just came up with it on the spot. perhaps they could talk of the ancient technology, at least stuff that's vaguely related to The Thing... or argue about it... maybe Krish wants to go and look for it (incidentally so are the pirates.) But if I make Krish an agent of the evil corporation from the beginning she'll come across as "bad guy" instead of "unpleasant colleague" and then Arun seeing her die and going NOOOOO will have a lot less impact. People will be thinking "oh, he shouldn't whine so much, she was an evil bitch, how can he still care" instead of "ouch, poor guy."
... this is way too confusing, my trying not to spoil too bad means I can't explain properly. Argh. OKAY from the beginning.
NotReallyEvilAsAWholeButKindOfGreedyCorp (henceforth named Corp) is funding part of the University expedition going to Waterworld (still needs name.) Arun = marine biology doctorate, not interesting to Corp. Krish = Geologist = interesting to Corp. But I don't think they started really cultivating her yet, so it's not like they could ask her to do them a favor by going toward Sunken City and picking up whatever fun long-forbidden data/technology she happens to find.
But perhaps they could oh oh argh no idea stay with me what was I thinking I'm forgetting no -- AHA. They could formulate is as "please could you take a quick look at Sunken City to determine why it sank and whether that could happen again nowadays, because you know we're gonna want to build on the islands and we wouldn't want to repeat the first colonists' mistakes. Just a quick look, you understand. you're already supposed to take random samples, hm? Surely one sample in those waters wouldn't hurt. ... I wonder how damaged the city really is? 9__9"
Then Liadan can freak a bit when she realizes where they're going because for her this is cursed grounds and they're not letting her go. *__*
3) why on Earth are they alone on the planet, no, in the end it bugs me that everyone else is on some other planet that wasn't even colonized -- what was so much more interesting on the moon base than on the planet? Argh.
4)Why is Liadan going with Arun and Krish? Why are Arun and Krish letting her? I have an idea that maybe Krish doesn't want to let her go yet because she needs to make sure either them or Liadan hasn't contaminated the rest with previously unknown sicknesses, which could also add some stress to the situation when Liadan realizes she's imprisoned. She so wouldn't get the "it's only until we know you're not sick!" thing.
Anyone interested in the beginning of a Dragon Ball Z fic I'm not even sure I'll complete? It's a Saiyajin on Earth AU, which has been done a bazilion times before but I love it so much .__. They drop by only a few months after Goku and Chichi get married, though, and i'm not sure I've seen it before. At first I wanted to do a series of loosely connected moments/scenes in the same AU, but I'm not sure it will work right with the new bunnies trying to make themselves a place in it. *beats Bardock over the head with a shovel*
