bedlamsbardI AM WRITING THE SAME DAMN STORY IN TWO COMPLETELY UNRELATED FANDOMS. *facepalm* (And perhaps more relevantly, I was trying to figure out how to make an original out of it before I figured out that I had already written it TWICE.)
Well, I guess they do say that every writer tells the same story over and over again, it's just how they tell it that's different. Still. I can't believe that these stories have been done/in progress/in limbo for four-almost-five years and it took me this long to figure it out. I knew I had themes carried over from SW to Narnia; a lot of my families have similar themes. I JUST DIDN'T REALIZE I WROTE THE SAME DAMN STORY. (For varying definitions of "the same"; theme and set-up, I think.)
Not that anyone else cares or possibly can tell. Just me over here, flipping out a little over how oblivious I am! Not that Dust and What is Lost are probably actually that similar outside my own head.
*headtilt* Okay, so what is this story I'm trying to tell over and over again?

Date: 2012-02-11 05:31 am (UTC)I've got -- it's a recurring thematic thing of people stepping up to the plate to do something that they thought they'd left behind for good, doing it because it must be done and they are the ones who can do it. (Maybe not the only ones, maybe even not the best ones for the job, but doing it because it is what has to be done.) Also there's something about fate in there too, can't quite put my finger on it. Something else might put the pieces on the board, but they're the ones who make their own decisions. Some things are certain, but not everything.
