Basically, since I posted "<a href="http://archiveofourown.org/works/547412">Environmental Control</a>" the last week of my first practicum block. And since I can't grab any of my family members and sit them down and explain everything, I'm going to vent here because THIS IS WHAT DW IS FOR.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://lasergirl.dreamwidth.org/1646997.html#cutid1">What Happened in Environmental Control:</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />I'm really pleased with the way that the fic turned out, and writing it was great fun. I LOVE writing a fic where I know that at least a few people are going to read it, it's in a fandom I love, and it doesn't kill me to finish it. That hasn't happened in a long time. Also, I feel that I could put my own spin on both the AU fandom *and* the characters, while still staying true to the canon material. All in all, pretty fun and satisfying!<br /><br />NOW. Here's my problem. I want to deal with the problems of Phil and Clint dating. But I also have all these other characters who insisted on being put into the story, and consequently they are running away with it and driving me nuts. So.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___2" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://lasergirl.dreamwidth.org/1646997.html#cutid2">Where I'm heading in Self Preservation:</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___2" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />Then, there's extra stuff I'm pondering to add, which has more to do with Phil and Clint's relationship, but naturally I don't have a place to put it because they are being invaded by character development adorableness from everyone else.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___3" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://lasergirl.dreamwidth.org/1646997.html#cutid3">Clint and Phil's Continuing Issues:</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___3" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />My continuing issues?? Trying to put all of this into stories without it being ridiculous! I think I'm probably going to deal with them by chunking the stuff I want to deal with into shorter stories, and just write the sections I want to and figure out where all the character development stuff goes along the timeline as I deal with it. It's how I've been building onto this universe anyway, it's just really hard to use all this background information without getting overwhelmed.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=lasergirl&ditemid=1646997" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2009-04-10:30172:1629492 2012-03-25T20:38:08Z 2012-03-25T20:38:47Z public 2 I have content-locked my journal to only those subscribed/access list.
