SPEAK NOT OF THE FIC

[ninety6tears]

I just saw that "Only Good For Legends" got updated and made this shouting noise of squeeing that had my sister thinking I'd stubbed my toe or something. Oh lord, do I even have time to read it today?

I wish I had something funny to post for V-day. Like the very cracked-out Sylar/Claire mix I've been wanting to make for a while (P.S. I'm still not caught up past season three, hehhh), but I pretty much realized Valentine's day was coming up about the time my two weeks of nonstop busy hell started, and like, haven't done anything for fun for about ten days?

This sad-but-not-completely-depressing plot bunny is fucking devouring my brain. I hate how I'm usually good at prioritizing what I really need to be working on writing until something comes along that like hits me in the face with a two-by-four and insists on being written, NOW. And I'm like NO, but I can't seem to get out of the mindset in order to work on anything else. Anyway, I have this feeling that writing in the mirror universe is gonna be like getting a tattoo. If I do it once, I'll just want to keep busting out more.

And dammit dammit dammit I need to turn in some actual work for my seminar on Tuesday and I've never been less invested in a writing class because the people in it are just sort of ambivalent about everything and probably aren't gonna really give me anything useful on what I do. Or maybe I'm projecting because I just haven't gotten far enough in thinking about my story cycle to be very into it yet. The instructor sure as hell knows I could punch out the fifty pages if I get a late start, so I'm not stressed about it yet, but...meh.

'only good for legends'...? was ist das? (no, I don't speak German. I only know like, 3 phrases)

also, did I see the words 'mirror universe' mentioned? would that be *the* mirror universe I think it might be?
just say yes or no, and I'll ask nothing else until you mention it again (in whatever way or form... :-P)

ONLY GOOD FOR LEGENDS. It's a Kirk/Spock fic that is quite possibly the most popular fic in the fandom so far. It's an AU in which Spock was moved to Earth as a child because his father died and eventually becomes a detective, meets the only genius-level repeat offender in Iowa, etc., and it has lots of plot and a ton of original series references and it's a lot of fun.

And...Yes? I signed up to "reboot" the episode "Mirror, Mirror" for operation80, which is this big challenge to rewrite the original series episodes with the new versions of the characters XD And I'm kinda nervous, cause that ep is so iconic and I must DO IT RIGHT.
