Bah! I shouldn't cook...

I know that I thought that I had [livejournal.com profile] nwhepcat's birthday fic-a-thon all set. I had a concept. I had started writing it. I had everything down. All I needed to do was finish writing it.

Know what happened to it?

I started cooking, that's what happened!

*grumble growl* stoopidplotbunny *grumble growl*

I now have the perfect birthday fic. Perfect. More perfect (which was somewhat imperfect) than my original plan.

*snarl*

What's worse? It's a fucking good idea that's what. AAARRGHHHHH!

*pounds head*

This is going to be interesting. Alternate reality. Vengeance. Anya. Anya's victims. White picket fences. Happy-ish endings, but not the happy-ish ending you think. Desperate friends... and did I mention dead friends?

And canon-ish Xander lands right in the middle of AU Xander's life and mucks the whole business up in a very, very bad way.

Think It's a Wonderful Life without the neat ending.

And the urge to write it is god-awful overwhelming to the point that I can't even concentrate.

See? See? This is what I get listening to Finger Eleven while cooking.

I see a writing marathon that will only be topped by the feverish nature with which I wrote Into the Desert in my very near future.

Gah!

*stomps off*

Ummm....yay?

That is to say, you may be stomping and grumbling and growling and AARRGGHHHHHHing, but the rest of us are pleased.....

A rampant plot bunny takes no prisoners.

As for cooking-which I love. Nothing I cook takes no more than 1 hr, from preparation to serve. Anything longer and GM does it. There is nothing more precious than a man who cooks.

Cooking good; writing good. Hard to do at the same time though. Hope whatever you were cooking was tasty! BTW, have you checked out the new cooking community that [livejournal.com profile] ann1962 set up? It's ATPO Cooks. Lots of neat recipe exchanges and stuff.
Looking forward to the new fic!

Aren't plot bunnies so infuriatingly wonderful? :)
