"No, This Is For Your Coffin"
Sep. 6th, 2007 10:04 pmPost-festival exposition. Marty's chicken problem is defined, Doc's logic fails him in a big way. Note to Dr. Brown -- A Sports Almanac and a HUMAN BEING are TWO DIFFERENT THINGS.
-HD: Unless you upset the wrong literal genie.-
Yes, but the BTTF canon doesn't have fantasy, that's just my weird take on the whole subject.
-M: I'm more confused as to why he didn't bring any future technology with him.-
-VD2: I actually asked Trilogy -- he blushed and said "Isn't it obvious we don't really think clearly when we're upset?" *pause* I hate to admit this, but he has a point, doesn't he?-
*giggle* That's what we love about you. *ruffles hair*
Anyway, did a little BTTF binging over supper (which was WAY late because of Dad being out with my uncle on a job) -- watched the "Making Of" thing they shot for the DVDs. Ahh, sweet, sweet BTTF.
-VD: Hopefully this will lead to inspiration.-
-DW: The "Cinder-Marty" bunnies are in full force. Maybe that should be your next journal project.-
I'm starting to think it will be. Either that or the "Sick!Marty" idea, which has been bugging me a bit too. That needs a title, though.
-HD: I nominate the "Sick!Marty" bunny.-
Everyone else: O.O?
-HD: Because then maybe she'll stop imagining MY Marty with HYPOTHERMIA.-
Oooh, that.
-WRM: Can't you ever think up a nice origin story? Even the regular Martys crash into the trash cans.-
Pain is temporary, fic is forever.
-MF: I'm going to hurt the Bobs for saying that.-
I'm pretty sure it was Zemeckis who came up with that -- leave Gale alone.
-RPD: How about Sims?-
Furkin and backups tomorrow. Then Saturday, during my Bus Voyage, I get Bon Voyage! It looks fun, from the playing everyone's been doing. I fear the saving on vacation lots, though. Please don't be borked!
-HD: Why do you even care? Your Sims will never go on Vacations.-
There's a tea set included, you--
-HD: YOU HAVE TO GET THAT PACK RIGHT NOW-
-TD: Er, it's a Japanese one.-
-HD: Close enough!-
Oh, chill, I have a modded one in there already, remember?
-HD: You can never have too many tea sets!-
-TTV: Is that why none of your china matches?-
-MHG: That, and we get tired of the same old food. *munches on a saucer*-
-TTV: . . . I've been here too long. That barely phases me.-
*patpat* Welcome to the family, Victor.
1. Somebody called me out on some sloppy research on the "If" drabbles88. I was a bit peeved, but it enabled me to do some wordbuilding for that verse, which helps with the future NonTrilogy story "Double Reflux," so it's all good.
The problem is, that sort of thing gets me wanting to write an internal dimensions-hopping fic. I'd love to do one, but how the hell do I manage the plot? Randomly dropping into other dimensions doesn't seem appropriate, and
foxywriter kind of preempted the "mechanical failure" bit. I have an idea for a NonTrilogy one featuring Doc's future daughters and Doc getting really sick, but have no idea how to handle the jumps. Grrr.
-D: I dread asking, but what realities would you send me into?-
I was thinking some of the drabbles88 realities -- like Adopted!Marty. Probably end up involving the vamps in some way too.
-VD2: Well, there is that massive crossover you keep thinking of for NaNoWriMo.-
True, but that's for NaNoWriMo. I'm talking serious fic.
2. Speaking of cracked-out fic, though, I've got one HELL of a Harry Potter plotbunny.
-OD: *tentacles chatter* Crossover?-
No, actually. The premise is something I've sure you've seen before -- a girl goes back in time to when Voldemort was Tom Riddle and falls in love with him. However, the girl this time is not Hermione or Ginny.
It's Bellatrix.
You heard me right, I said BELLATRIX. I got the idea after reading the recent JKR interviews that mention Bellatrix only married Rudolphus Lestrange because it was expected of her -- her love's with Voldiepants. Somehow, that morphed into "what if Bellatrix could go back in time and meet Tom Riddle? What if HER loving him could actually make him see some merit in the idea?"
SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW I ENDED UP SHIPPING VOLDEMORT/BELLATRIX!!
-DW: . . . . I don't want to eat that bunny.-
Don't worry, it seems to be staying under my bed. Christ, how wacky can you get?
-OD: *tentacles gaping* And coming from YOU, that means something!-
I know! Somebody adopt this thing so I don't have to worry about it!
Okay, I want to see if I can get some editing done on "15th Surprise," at least.
-D: Go to it, kid!-
Aww, I love it when you quote the movie at me.
-D: . . .-
Even unintentionally. :p
