(no subject)

it was kind of like pulling teeth tonight, but I managed 1620 words of the prequel to the porn-and-relationship-drama story I wrote (well, half-wrote) that is itself a prequel to the porn-with-no-drama that I meant to write in the first place. With the prequel^2--and I'm going to have to come up with better names for these things than "SHOWER THING.DOC" and "SHOWER THING PREQUEL.DOC" since both of them are set before the eponymous shower thing--I have settled back into past tense and been working in linear order, albeit skipping over or only writing the beginning of some scenes that give me too much trouble just yet. So far I have a rough sketch of the way I'm setting up the plot(such as it is), some not-yet-sexual teasing over misappropriation of breakfast foods, and brotherly bonding. Also I've developed an intense tonal mismatch between this beginning, which is arch and a little exaggerated and basically a comedy, and where the story is eventually going(emotional cruelty, torment, and HEARTBREAK, albeit temporary). That...should be interesting.

Okay, I'm going to call it the juice fic. Because the most memorable lines so far are about orange juice, except the best line which is about bacon. Not that I plan to refer to it constantly or anything(seriously, I'm trying to break the talk-endlessly-about-my-own-boring-writing habit), but just in case. Also, I would do the exceedingly self-indulgent thing of quoting a line or two from in-progress stuff, but I'm pretty sure I continue to have an entirely Glee-free friendslist, more or less by design, so.
