i discovered a mistake that opens up a post-ep oneshot that i'm really wanting to finish.

given the episode it is supposed to follow, it refers to a line used in a convo in a different episode between Kira and a vedek friend of hers. now when i first heard about the ep, i understood it that the line was directed from the vedek to Kira.

but no, i've discovered that SHE said it to him.

:headdesk:

now i have to find an entirely different opening quote or....something. hence the title of this entry.

and ppl think writing is easy, LOL. :P ha!

okay so the non-fandom stuff is for odogoddess and chazpure, so the rest of you can ignore.

karaoke night at my coworker Miwa's, before she left for Germany.

Meru's bitchiness--it's all an act!!

Halloween pics....i finally got to go as NCIS' Abby. :D

Meru and the boyfriend, as mentioned on the phone today. ;)

fic recs! (odogoddess, should i point her towards the PADD?)

by Gemi aka papersanctum @ LJ, two O/K ficlets:
Trepidation and Second Chances
Haunted

i've always wanted to do those fanfic100 or fic50 things where you have a chart with words or phrases and you have to write stories based around each but i always fear i'd never be able to make it through the whole gorram list. :P at least not in sticking to ONE fandom. BLAH.

tho it would be interesting to do it for the monster story's cast....sort of a challenge. maybe once it is "published" i could do that. hmm.

and now to go finish dorking with Odo and the angry little six year old that is a part of the cycle above, haha.

i dunno what drives the crazy little bitch, but now on top of Redemption, a Dauntless fic that Windfire and i have pulled out of the Box of Unfinished Fics(tm), and the Shakaar/Cady backstory, she is throwing a FOURTH idea at me!!

this one is destined to be Odo/Kira...and i haven't finished a fic with them since Kira's Prayer, going on ten years ago.

tho muse is also poking me to finish another O/K from the Box of Unfinished Fics titled I Will Follow You, a post-Reckoning introspective. (chazpure may vaguely recall this one as i asked for help the first time around when i got stuck. unfortunately, it still never went anywhere at the time.)

at any rate...this one was driven by another song that i'm addicted to: Delerium's "Underwater", with Rani Kamal on lead vocals. the lyrics have suggested to the muse the ever-useful plot point of strange dreams. in this case, a recurring nightmare Kira has about drowning starts to turn into...something else. and playing w the idea of making the Founder Bitch (Salome Jens' female Founder, that is) just a touch nastier than she was in canon.

where does she get these ideas??

for the non-fandom stuff, see my LJ. in fandom, well...

last fall, Katesfire came to me asking for some help with a sequel to her J/C story Rejection. Cori had asked for a sequel because Janeway was pregnant at the end and she just wanted to see those baby twins.

with my famous last words being "have it be ON Cardassia!", we ate, breathed and slept the plot and produced the dramatic adventure that came to be titled Retribution. as we were coming down off our high and enjoying the feedback of happy readers, KF wondered aloud if there might be a followup to this. the word "redemption" popped into my head. all i could think was here we go again....

Redemption is now slowly in the works. i have finished the prologue and i'm attempting to pull chapter one out of the muse, piece by piece. when she isn't chewing on her OTHER tangents.

the latest: i decided for Redemption that it was high time that Shakaar be married. i thought for the hell of it she should be human and not Bajoran and named her Cady. mentally adding that she had a xenophobic family that disowned her for being involved with Shakaar gave the muse something to run with....and in a direction i was NOT planning in the least.

i'm now writing the Shakaar/Cady backstory in addition to Redemption.

me....who used to loathe Shakaar (well okay, that was my Odo/Kira fangirl pitching a bitch). and i'm now writing a fic about him?!

hell has got to be freezing over.

i don't expect anyone to read it--i'm mostly writing it to get the muse to shut the flying fuck up about it, but if anyone else enjoys it when it's done, i'll take that as a bonus.

( a sneak peek on Redemption for the interested )


and a sneak peek into the muse's crazyness too.

background plot: Cady's family is run by her grandfather Nelson, a hateful, xenophobic type. Cady is working for two months as an aide to Melisande Dumas, who is hosting a (reason undecided) diplomatic summit somewhere in the French countryside at an ancient villa/palace with huge grounds attached. Melisande is a friend of the family that Nelson can't afford to offend, hence he has no choice but to allow his granddaughter to work for two months around aliens. one night after dinner, Melisande gets drunk and pisses Cady off. she leaves to go take a walk....
