Today, is my weird Sanctuary cowboy AU thing which is...weird and AU and I probably should just write an original novel and be done with it. It's not like EL James didn't get paid for it.

Now, if anyone wants to see one of my four billion WIPs, this is what I have right now:<br /><br />* Time-traveling Magnus comes to the future. Will/Clara and eventually Victorian!Magnus/Will<br />* AU where Will is a ranch hand and Magnus buys the farm. Yeah, IDK.<br />* Magnus. Will. A series of showers.<br />* Magnus/Will in the jungle<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sheikah&ditemid=447268" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:284367:445723Sanctuary thoughts2012-05-23T03:20:19Z2012-05-23T03:20:19Zpublic8So...Sanctuary is over. A lot of people in my fannish circles are pretty upset about this but I'm...not? Which I guess makes me a bad fan. But let me say why, I suppose, in a place where I likely won't get jumped all over.<br /><br />I hated the last season and a half of this show. Like, to the point where I was watching literally because I felt like I had to. I hated the direction the show went with "Let's make Helen do INSANE STUPID THINGS and LIE TO EVERYONE and COMPLETELY MAKE HER 180 FROM HER ORIGINAL PERSONALITY."<br /><br />Same with Will, to a lesser extent, but Will did actually show some growth that I'm not willing to sacrifice. I hated the flashback episodes and the heavy focus on Hollow Earth. I hated taking a strong, independent woman and basically throwing her in the arms of Tesla, who, I know everyone fucking loves him, but was not that great to me. He's a one trick pony good for comic relief, that's it, and not what I want in a love interest on a show. And, frankly, I don't see why liking Tesla means you have to bash Will, and that happens too.<br /><br />I didn't much like Druitt, but I hate they left his plotline unresolved in S4. It was just all over the place for the last two years - and don't get me started on Abby or the completely publicity stunt lesbian kiss (say what you will about it, but there was no damn point to Magnus kissing ANYONE in Monsoon, male or female, and it completely went against things Amanda has said about Magnus being picky about her partners PLUS Magnus's own squeamishness about sex and romance in Next Tuesday). Kate's character was completely sidelined and declawed by giving her an offscreen love interest they did NOTHING to develop or build.<br /><br />So, yes, RIP Sanctuary, but RIP the show I loved for seasons 1 and 2 and the first half of 3. I thought the finale ended it in a good place and I'm happy to have a jumping off point for my own stories to tell.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=sheikah&ditemid=445723" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> commentstag:dreamwidth.org,2009-05-04:284367:439411[Fic] Updates2012-03-14T05:20:33Z2012-03-14T05:20:33Zpublic10Well, I haven't worked any on my Big Bang >.> Sob.

I think the trick is to just push through the block and write it. I'm trying to do around 1000 words a day since it has to be 20-25k and that way I can have it done by the end of the month.<br /><br />My reward, of course, is to be able to write the OTHER thing I've been working on. I blame my friend Sam from Tumblr/Twitter for this entirely because she's one of the few people I'm friends with who likes country music as much as I do and I somehow, while listening to Garth Brooks, came up with an entire sideways universe ala Out of the Blue (this is a thing with me, ye gods) where the Sanctuary is actually a thoroughbred horse ranch, Magnus is a wealthy investor, Tesla's her ex husband and Addison is trying to push her out of business.<br /><br />Oh, and Will is a cowboy. Yes. A cowboy.
