bedlamsbardWow, it's been a really long time since I wrote anything plotty based off a TV canon. Definitely differently plotty; I keep wanting to jump POVs so I can get all those scenes that you could get in an episode, but that's not really something that works in fiction. (At least not for me. It's too ragged; it doesn't really feel like I ever get to finish a coherent thought.)
I think I'm going to cut the 800 words of Hot Dog POV I just wrote, lengthen the Helo POV at the beginning, and pick up the second POV as Athena. Original plan included Boomer and Rebel Eight POVs, with a possible Starbuck, but I think it might work better just to keep to Helo and Athena for now. I'd probably stick to one if they weren't, er, separated by a vast amount of space.
...huh, actually, in retrospect, I do want that Starbuck POV, I don't think I can do that one scene I want from an Athena POV. Wait, maybe I can make it an Anders POV, I'm not sure about my ability to get Starbuck down but I'm pretty sure I can do Anders. Although, hmm, do I need him for anything other than that one scene? Can I switch out Athena for Anders? (Probably not.)
Obviously the only POVs I want in this fic are people with surnames beginning with the letter A. Who else is an option? Oh, right, the father-son Adama tag team.
