A typical morning in Trojie's brain

[gmtaslash]

*Trojie opens Google Docs*

TROJIE: Now, *cracks mental knuckles* I want some nice, mildly-amusing happy fic, okay brain?

CASPIAN: Amen. Can I please have a happy ending?

EDMUND: The pair of you are delusional. You know it's never going to work.

TROJIE: Wait, when did you two get in here?

EDMUND: *pityingly* We never left.

TROJIE: *headdesk*

ARTHUR: I could chase them out for you

TROJIE: *doubletake*

MERLIN: I'm sorry, I tried to hold him back

ARTHUR: Yes, well, you're rubbish at restraining my manly impulses

TROJIE: *snort*

MERLIN: *blush*

EDMUND: *eyebrow raise*

CASPIAN: *looks interested*

ARTHUR: Anyway, you could write us a happy ending

MERLIN: She won't, though, she's far too interested in the tragically saving the world thing

ARTHUR: I command you to write us a happy ending

EDMUND: Excuse me, I think I have priority as liege lord of this brain

PETER: That's where you're wrong. I'm High King over all Kings in this brain

ARTHUR: Wait, when did you get in here?

PETER: *airily* Aslan

TROJIE: *looking around* He's not in here too, is he?

PETER: No, but Susan is

TROJIE: Argh

ARTHUR: Look, so, are you going to write that happy ending or not?

EDMUND: We've been telling you, she can't

MERLIN: I'm afraid it's true, Arthur

SPOCK: The cadet's logic is sound

TROJIE: ...

ARTHUR: But I've just ordered her to

EDMUND: And I've just told you you've no authority here

ARTHUR: She's English, isn't she? That makes her my subject!

PETER: She claims to live in Narnia - that makes her OUR subject

ARTHUR: Is this going where I think it's going? *draws Excalibur*

PETER: *draws Rhindon* Probably

CASPIAN: If there's a brawl going on, I'm in *starts taking off his coat*

TROJIE: You three are worryingly alike

MERLIN and EDMUND: Tell me about it!

KIRK: Hey, wait for me!

SPOCK: *sigh*

MCCOY: Oh, for the love of ... Nurse! We're going to need a lot of bandages in here!

TROJIE: *closes Google Docs* On second thoughts, maybe some research is a better idea ...

*laughs hysterically*

They are alike, aren't they? Dashing handsome bastards... Don't lure me into writing more fluffic, please...

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

Look, *someone* has to write the fluff. Clearly I should be goading you on!

[sedri.livejournal.com]

Someone has a bachelor's degree to finish, along with a fanfic of her own that already has quite enough fluff in it. That said, goad away. :P

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

Yes, well, I've got a PhD to be getting along with, I'm far too busy to write fluff AND angst :P

*prod prod prod*

[sedri.livejournal.com]

*rubs bruised arm* Later, love; later. Right now I'm stressing over one of the many stupid little assignments that we unfortunate undergrads have to do ALL THE BLOODY TIME.

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

[hsavinien.livejournal.com]

*giggles* Cute. ^_^ I saw a great Kirk icon - "Pretty, but kind of a dick."

I was trying to write some original femmeslsh ('cos I haven't yet, and I want to) and:

*typetype* Hm...bed. Bed is good. Room, a little description...wait, why am I talking about the weather? *deletedelete* ... *typetype* This is supposed to be GIRLSMUT, why am I thinking about meteorology? *deletedelete* ...*sigh*

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

*snort*

Sometimes the smut just doesn't want to happen, or the characters would rather do something else. It's stupid how uncooperative they can be when they don't even exist.

[ineptshieldmaid.livejournal.com]

OH GOD YES I FEEL YOUR BRAINPAIN.

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

THEY JUST DON'T EVER STOP TALKING AT ME...

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

D'your original characters do that too?

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

My original characters are quieter, I suspect because they're less well defined in my head. Currently I'm still trying to get my head around their ... trickier logistical aspects.

Whereas when I'm trying to write them, I'm constantly plagued by the thing where I think I've come up with a perfectly good plot but Character X goes 'actually, no, I don't want it to work like that'.

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

Aah, I know what that's like. Both of those thats.

[cassie5squared.livejournal.com]

*rolls around giggling* This should be carefully scripted and filmed for posterity. Now, how to get hold of the gentlemen in question and persuade them into it...

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

Darling, if I got all the gentlemen in question into a room I'd probably faint before managing to direct anything.

[sedri.livejournal.com]

Taking that literally, it'd be... interesting... to see what they actually do. They're human beings, and they've got a fainted woman in the room. Call the hospital? CPR aside - since I don't want to make you faint now - they'd probably all be very worried about you. You know, kneeling down, helping you up, asking if you're all right...

CPR might be more fun for you, though. ;P

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

Doooooooon't, it's too cruel.

And CPR is not a logical treatment for fainting. Spock and McCoy would tell them so.

[sedri.livejournal.com]

Damn! I was trying to make your fangirl brain snap. :P

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

You were *this* close (indicates small gap between fingers). It was only the medical reference that saved my sanity.

[sedri.livejournal.com]

Well, in that case, I put it there on purpose....

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

I-I think I kind of love the way your brain works. Despite the fact that I only know a few characters of the above from certain reinterpretations of mythology. Still: popular opinion is that this is the awesome.

(also yess now I can see your journal again *happydance, goes to play catchup*)

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

I don't know WHY I'm drawn to refusing ancient and fictitious kings their happy endings, but there you are.

I'm SO SORRY about that whole C can't see my LJ thing - I honestly forgot you weren't old enough according to LJ to see adult-filtered things. Anyway, fixded it now :)

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

Mm, question is do they get happy endings in canon? Because otherwise either you're just playing along or at least they can get their happy somewhere else, maybe. whereas the fact that I kind of hate happy endings means that the canon is awful to the characters as a whole and there's not really somewhere else they can go, seen, so maybe Everything's Better If It's Fanfic?


's okay! (ooh, that reminds me. I have a thing to tell you!)

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

Well, Edmund and Caspian get happy endings of a separate kind of nature cos they go to Teh Awsum Heaven, but, uh, bleh?

Merlin and Arthur of the BBC version the jury's still out on, but the general fandom conclusion appears to be No.

As to the random Star Trek characters, and Peter, who knows!


Ooh, what do you have to tell me?

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

Mm, true. Bleh.

I see~


*has the dubious distinction of informing you that this month she has written 'fic for the first time in four or five years*

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

OOOOOH! What fandom? Where? What happens? Details, woman, details!

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

*blinkblink* 'm a woman? Cool.

General drabbles and one vagueish crossover with an original fandom (I wanted someone to go be informative at Sam in her dreams); for fandoms of Tortall (post-Daughter of the Lioness duet, introspective drabble), Sandman (two post-Wake things -- pattern: I like writing after the story happens, I guess?), and a short story; these all have in common the fact that I was doing 31_days prompts. Is that enough details?

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

Shiny!

[cofmanynames.livejournal.com]

:D I'll take that as a yes~ Now the question is if I'm capable of anything but drabbles. Although that's a question that'd been hanging over us with original fic for a while too, so 'm sure I'll manage~

[padparadscha.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that sounds like my brain, only with a whole stack of OCs swarming as well.

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

It's fun most of the time, but it tends to get crowded, and thanks to my particular favourite fandoms and characters, what ends up happening is they're all too similar and then there's a brawl *headdesk*

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Oh so very not alone, but entertaining when it's somebody else. :D

[agenttrojie.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see similar scenes from other people's brains ...

[elvenpiratelady.livejournal.com]

Here you go. The fandoms have changed slightly but the chaos is still there.
