I love you, Ms. Vida Boheme!
So, sometimes I go and read my "stories no one will write for me" tag, to amuse (or inspire) myself with the things I've come up with. And I didn't even remember this one, but it caught my eye today:

Okay, so I don't know about this one, it's PURE CRACK. But. I want someone (not me!) to write the To Wong Foo-esque story where Steve Carlson and Chris Kane are the diva drag queens that take little Jensen Ackles under their wing and try to teach him to be fabulous. Steve could be Patrick Swayze's Vida and Chris could be Wesley Snipes' Noxeema. And Jared could be Bobby-Ray, the straight boy that falls in love with Chi-Chi Jensen. And either Chad or Rosenbaum could be Sheriff Dollard, haunted by the touch of Miss Vida's junk.

Except that, in keeping with my shifting interests, instead of Jared, I kind of want to make it Jeff, a grizzled widower who falls for the hopelessly crushing Jensen. Which would nicely combine with my desperate yearning for Drag-Torch-Singer!Jensen and Jeff, should I ever find the time and inclination to actually write this.

Still: happy place. *hums*

Trine snippet: 263 words
Trine is a story that I've wanted to write for a while and I have yet to figure out how to make all the pieces work. It came from a dream and making the logic work has proved surprisingly difficult. The basic premise is a married couple separately fall in love with the same guy (who reciprocates both their feelings) and, when they find out about each other's crush, they decide to try and make it work as a threesome. The snippet I wrote doesn't actually involve ANY of the main plotline; it was something atmospheric that had been plucking at my attention, but I'm not happy with how the snippet turned out. I may give it another try today. Still, I wrote it, the words exist. I didn't delete it all in a fit of pique. So that counts.

AKB 72: 707 words.
Well, for all my brow clutching about which scene would be next, one scene came to the front and has basically demanded to be told. I think I'm still going to write the other scene, but I've been waiting for this chapter for a LONG TIME NOW and I'm glad to finally be writing it, even if I'm not sure I'm hitting all the mood/atmosphere notes I want.

Nothing on Appetite, which is mildly vexing, but it was still on my mind for much of the day, even if I didn't put down the verbiage. I think I'm in a prewriting mode with that, trying to mentally feel out the scene before I put fingers to keyboard. Yesterday was a difficult day. A lot of RL stress on pretty much all fronts. I'm both pleased and surprised at how much writing I managed to get done, for all of that.
