I'm soclose to writing Merlin fic, you have no idea

[skoosiepants]

I'm just a little hung up on what to write. Which means you're probably going to get poorly plotted AU fic, but whatever.

And omg, I'm on my fifth day off from work and I'm going insane. I can't wait to go back into the office tomorrow, you have no idea. Blessed peace and quiet! No cats lounging on my chest or dogs barking in my face! This is why I can never work from home.

ETA: Hey, I just updated my homepage, check it out and let me know what you think? Is it less confusing, more confusing, doesn't make much difference - I could make a poll, but I'm extremely lazy.

Also, for some reason, I'm still writing William's House of Orphans. It's kind of really, really bad :) Like, so so bad, oh man, but I'm having so much ridiculous fun:

Ryan never remembers to eat, but Spencer has long since stopped trying to collect him for dinner. It’s just as easy to cajole a tray out of Cook later than to ferret out wherever Ryan’s wandered off to.

So Spencer’s alone when he slips into the dining room and finds someone who he doesn’t know, grinning at Jon like Jon’s discovered chocolate ice cream or shoe buckles – Spencer’s awfully fond of shoe buckles – and Spencer’s stomach does this flip. This truly annoying giddy flip that he quickly covers with a frown and narrowed eyes. Spencer isn’t all that comfortable around strangers.

Victoria stops by Spencer’s side where he’s hovering in the doorway. Victoria has always been the greatest of tomboys, but she’s recently ceased lacing their fingers together, and she’s recently started donning the most ridiculous dresses that Spencer supposes are stylish, somewhere, but seem a great deal more hassle than the lighter skirts she could ruck up to her knees when they went tree climbing out back. She clasps his hand now, though, and tugs him further into the room, whispering out the side of her mouth, “His name’s Brendon, and I’m afraid he’s the most adorable boy I’ve ever laid eyes on.”

“More than me?” Spencer asks, smiling now, like he’s sure she meant to have happen.

Victoria pinches his arm playfully. “I just said, didn’t I?”

“Shrew,” Spencer says.

“Harpy,” Victoria counters.

There is no bad here!

(Nor anywhere else in the entry, for that matter!)

[riflethrough.livejournal.com]

Ahhh, I would read Merlin fic by you so hard. And this orphan AU is intriguing.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I seriously have no ideas about what to write, though, it's disheartening! I really want to write about Arthur and Merlin's big gay love!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

not intriguing, horrifying!

Oh, but Merlin, yes. I'm so in love with that fandom, I just have no idea how to dive in.

[of-evangeline.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, I need William's house of orphans like BURNING. *____*

[modus-irrealis.livejournal.com]

So do I! But instead I wrote gen about Arthur's bedsheets.

And I started a mini-epic (it's, like, 3500 words so far, which is epic for me and fanfic, okay) futurefic a/u. But that will have gay! Eventually.

[rufus.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeeeee more house of orphans! *\o/* I'm very fond of it already.

[lallybroch.livejournal.com]

I HEARTILY SUPPORT YOU WRITING MERLIN FIC.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

futurefic au! that sounds awesome :)

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

There's so many of them! And Pete keeps trying to steal away Patrick!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I'm almost to the part where Butcher finds the Cab babies - it's so ridiculous!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I wish I could just think of something to write! I love those two so much!

[modus-irrealis.livejournal.com]

Well, it's like, 20 years into their future, not our future... Although I was just getting enthusiastic about space opera a/us in chat so who knows where that will go.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

dude, Merlin and Arthur in space would be so awesome!

[lallybroch.livejournal.com]

My first thought is general hijinkery. Merlin fic should be RIFE WITH HIJINKERY.

[redandglenda.livejournal.com]

Orphans!! *grins* Also, the new site is great: less confusing, and very well laid out. :)

[rufus.livejournal.com]

wait is that the NEST of cab babies? in the stables? I have a vague memory of a nest of cab babies somewhere.

Singer flopped down to sing right in front of me at a show (I was on the rail) and I was totally distracted by his teeny-tininess. but my favorite is Johnson, because he's tiny and hot and so cranky all of the time.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

yes, it's totally a nest of them!! they're so cute!

Oh, Johnson's my favorite as well, yes *nods*

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

I HEARTILY AGREE

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

Orphans will never not be adorable, if generally ridiculous! And yay, I'm glad the site is less confusing, thanks!

[lallybroch.livejournal.com]

There should be MISUNDERSTANDINGS and MADCAPPERY and probably someone should have to hide in a closet at some point.

[nel-ani.livejournal.com]

MERRRRRRRRRLIIIIIIIIIIN!

That is all.

[seratonation.livejournal.com]

I like the new website! its pretty! and simple XD

and vicky/spencer! the are so adorable :D

[neviditelny.livejournal.com]

OMG. SHOE BUCKLES.

I am in love with your orphan fic, yes, yes I am.

[tina-nocturne.livejournal.com]

You could write about kidnapped!Merlin! Kidnapping is always A+, you know.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

And it should all lead up to hilarious SHENANIGANS and accidental confessions of love.

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

ugh, I'm so in love with Merlin

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thank you, hon! I spent way too much time redoing it :)

I'm afraid this whole fic is going to be really ooc, but oh well!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

you know Spencer loves his shoe buckles!!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

true, true, kidnapping and angst and protective!Arthur *nods* all good things

[fleurrochard]

I want you to write Merlin fix, oh yes, I do. *beams*
(Can it be an AU crossover with bandom? *sparkles at you*)

And oooooooooh, William's House of Orphans! OMG, love. LOVE!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

hee, I kind of want Ryan to meet Merlin or something, that would be awesome :)

[fleurrochard]

That would be totally awesome! (Maybe Ryan would like Merlin's hat. And maybe Arthur would like Merlin in Ryan's rosevest. *g*)

[lallybroch.livejournal.com]

100% YES

A completely useless comment but...

[nkiseki.livejournal.com]

OMG Merlin fic, yes please!

[carnilia.livejournal.com]

Love the website, and the snippet! I would definitely read this AU if you ever actually wrote the whole thing!

Re: A completely useless comment but...

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

merlin is the best!!

[skoosiepants.livejournal.com]

thank you! I've totally got 20 pages written so far - there is absolutely no plot, but lots of ridiculousness!

[carnilia.livejournal.com]

Who needs plot when you have a gentlemanly yet long-suffering Lord William Beckett and a manor full of orphans? NOT ME, I SAY!
