Plot-ness and research and... stuff...
Oct. 6th, 2006 01:00 amWell, I've been working on my plot all week. IT's funny, my original idea was ChaserxPangaea, but it was beginning to sound a lot like the plot for a certain favourite book of mine, and while amusing, it wasn't a 50k idea.
Running with The Chaser theme and it's associated plotbhunnies, the second idea I had was exploring Chris/Craig as a sort of prequel to Pictures Of You, the second part of which I need to post to my fanfics journal. I do want to write it at some point, since Pictures Of You is about their break-up, and it seems unfair to not write about their relationship as well.
But, as much as I loved that idea, Chris/Andrew kept nagging at me, especially after writing Damaged People. I wanted to find out exactly what they were referring to in that fic.
So out comes the most nagging and persistent plotbunny so far: Chris/Andrew uni!fic, set somewhere in the vacinity of 93-97, give or take a few months or so. I'm still getting the plot sorted out, but it'll be long and angsty and ... filled with trouble. I mean, really, you just need to read Damaged People to see that. That seems to be what it's describing, that time at uni, and now it seems I have to tell that story. Yay.
Andrew's being ... helpful. Craig's finally shut up at last. And Chris needs to start talking or I'll poke him some more. He's letting Andrew do all the talking. *pokes the lot of them* You'd better all start helping me get this plot into shape, or I won't write it at all. I don't need to know it down to every little plot detail, but a nice overview of events would be nice so I know where I'm going with this. XD Silly boys.
So, I get to research shit, interesting shit, and hopefully come out with something resembling a happy ending, though considering the whole mood of the piece, I'm not sure that's possible. Ah well.
Thought I'd nut this out here at last, now I have some idea of what I'm writing. Since I only have two events cemented in my head, a proper plot outline will have to wait, but yeah. That's the general gist of things.
