waking dreams

Right then.

The last ever episode of Ashes to Ashes is on in less than 25 minutes.

So if, at about 10:05 tonight, I'm catatonic and/or crying my eyes out and/or utterly incapable of stringing together a coherent sentence... that will be why.

I picked up a Firefly prompt at comment_fic, and the resulting fic is a) two pages and threatening to be multi-chapter and b) turning into a Fringe crossover.

Also, and I have no idea why, but I've had the theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in my head for DAYS, GODSDAMMIT, DAYS.

I haven't watched that show for YEARS. Why now?! GAHHH.

(Um. I have two reel_torchwood fics to finish. AHHHH. And new plotbunnies just won't leave me alone. AHHHH.)

Had this idea at work re: Ashes to Ashes. See, the series (and LoM) are kind of irrevocably linked to David Bowie's music for me. So my idea was to basically write a short fic (100 words minimum) per song. I'm calling it Project Bowie, and I have at least two fics planned already. :D

Highschool-AU fanfics are pretty common in fandom, or at least the parts I'm aware of. I've written a couple myself, back when I was just getting started in this crazy thing we call fandom. Since then I've... moved on, to more mature ideas, often philosophical about stuff, and probably a bit pretentious occasionally as well, if I'm being completely honest.

So why, given the fact that I haven't written a highschool AU fic for a few years now, do I suddenly have the urge to write a highschool (well, okay, 1980s-comprehensive-school) AU for Ashes to Ashes, of all things? And apparently, my previously underactive A2A muse thinks that in said AU, Ray and Alex are stepsiblings. I think the reasoning there is based on 3x03...

Well. I guess I could throw some philosophical stuff in...

Gah. Muses.
