fufarawI have, um...three-ish weeks to decide whether I'm going to sign up for BB.
There is at least one, and probably two timestamps to come in the More Than verse, but there isn't enough story there for another 20K words. Really.
Spitballing story ideas the other night with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meus_venator, we *may* have come up with an idea that *may* have possibilities. *Maybe*. I know myself well enough to know that when the start gun goes off, I'll want to run, just like an old racehorse. But truthfully, I left it late last year. I was grateful for an August posting date, and it was touch and go whether I'd make even that late date.
Knuckled down over the laptop, I missed a lot of spring and summer while I dithered, false-starting, deleting pages of words and starting over, hating the characters, hating the stupid awful difficult premise, and whothehell ever thought I could write that, anyway? Whothehell even would want to *read* that? That's not an experience I want to repeat.
But. I think I may have stumbled over a story that appeals to me. I have no idea if anybody else will have the slightest interest, but I'm intrigued, my muse is nearly engaged.
I don't think I'm going to be able to sit this one out, after all.

Date: 2014-01-07 12:36 am (UTC)From here it just seems their story is done, unless I want to write about the second generation, and I don't, really. A few loose ends to tie up, and everybody lives reasonably content afterward.
No peeking? 'Cause it's only half-baked, and I'm superstitious about venting the energy before the deed is done.

I'm really excited for you to start a new story. It's like Xmas all over again.
I wouldn't know where else you could go with MTV. You put Jared through a LOT. You were evil. YEah, it wasn't the happiest of endings but I loved it just as you left it. So much in life is flawed and ambiguous. But you didn't snuff out hope. So it works.
