Nov. 22nd, 2008 06:12 pmOne of my friends is spending tonight and last night in my room, which I hadn't really been expecting -- I thought it'd be just the one night, but whatever.
Anyway, last night we went to go see The Mousetrap at the Lupin Theatre, since I have to see it for class and if I have to go, I'm dragging people with me. Not bad -- it has the longest initial run of any play in England. Of course, it takes place in 1952, so for some reason I had Narnia on the brain. (Okay: I always have Narnia on the brain. *shrug*) And then there was the fact that one of the actors looked exactly like a young Eddie Cahill. And it was the actor playing the detective sergeant, too. It was screwing with my head.
And then we got back to J.L. to write, and I was so out of it. (Also, I think I'm coming down with something. OH JOY.) I could not think of plot at all, so I ended up writing a thousand words of Peta/Caspian porn. And was very vocal with it.
Look, I'm just saying, if your friends listen to you say things like, "I'm writing porn right now because I can't think of anything else!" and, "Ben Barnes should kiss more Pevensies! And by more, I mean ALL OF THEM," and they still talk to you, then you know youv'e got something there.
*sigh* I was so out of there I was flipping pronouns all over the place (not to mention names) so at some points I was writing slash. Which would be fine, except I was typing stuff like, "his breasts are very soft against his chest," which is, uh, not exactly what I'm going for when I write Peter/Caspian. (On an up side, at least this time I wasn't flipping Caspian's pronouns; there have been times when I've accidentally been writing femmeslash. *facepalm*)
On a vaguely related note, speaking of Peter/Caspian, I reread Freely Offered last night, and the tone is so different from Once More for the Ages. Witness: in "Once More for the Ages", Peter threatens to kill Caspian if he fucks up Narnia. In "Freely Offered", he says he'll come help if Caspian ever needs it. (Also witness: "Freely Offered" is where I had reviews that said, in essence, "OH THEY ARE IN LOVE." In "Once More for the Ages" I just had people going, "OH PETER IS IN LOVE WITH NARNIA.")
And then today I came back from Wal-Mart (food for theapocalypse Thanksgiving break! because I am here but everything is closed! also yarn! and Friday Night Lights!) and didn't want to write anything except really angry, really violent Peter/Edmund.
Naturally, when the only thing I want to write is Peter being awesome (coming soon to Dust: Cair Paravel's criminal underbelly, where I will have to force myself not to make Cair Paravel the New Orleans of Narnia. No, guys, you don't want Cair Paravel to be the New Orleans of Narnia. Except in how it totally is), the only thing I have to write is Peta.
