Willow? Will you please fucking behave? This is your moment in Water and you are not cooperating.

It's frustrating. I know how to get over writers' block. I know all the tricks. I have Water all planned out. I know what's happening every step of the way, but several key plot points rests in Willow's little hands and the scene is not working. Arghhhhh!

I lot of it, I think, is that I'm over thinking the scene.

Doesn't help that I've been distracted by yet another shiny plot bunny for a short story. AAARRRGHHHH!

*waves fist at brain*

When I said I needed inspiration, I meant on Water, not for a whole new freakin' short story! That (*people clutch your hearts*) involves a Spike/Xander (nonslash) road show, complete with Xander bespelled to think he's someone else (a mentally challenged someone else, no less) because he's got to hide an important spell in his head from the bad guys.

*headdesk headdesk headdesk*

SPIKE NOT NOW! PLEASE WAIT YOUR TURN!

Grrrrrrrrrrr.

I blame Tony Harris for this. I really, really do.

You have my sympathy. She can definitely be difficult - believe me, I know. At least in longer fics. She doesn't give me much trouble in short stories, but that may just be because I don't really have much time to really get into things.

*shakes fist at Tony Harris for you*

Ooo! You..! Grrr!

I also shake my fist at Tony Harris for you!!! I want more "Water.." *pouts* Don't worry, you'll get it all together..I have faith in you.
The problem with living in the same house with Damocleaze however, is that as soon as he saw the words "spike/xander" I now have a petulant 31 year old going "Oh PLEASE PLEASE let them out to play!!!"
GRRRR...*shakes fist at Damocleaze as well*

Willow can be frelling annoying. I have a still-unposted Willow/Angelus fic on my harddrive that I just can't seem to get into a form where she behaves well enough for me to justify letting it loose.

Is it one of the original spells of Creation ,perhaps ? Will it make him overtly fond of potatos ?

Ooh. I love WHMD... but that sounds like a very tempting plot bunny...

I'm Sure

That however long it takes it'll be worth the wait.

I blame Tony Harris for this. I really, really do.

I say we form a posse and go after Tony Harris for you. Everything from now on is all his fault.

Wish I could offer advice on the Willow-front, but I got nuthin'. And as for the Spike/Xander road show? Would love to read it some day, even though the last 2 seasons of Buffy made me hate Spike more than I've ever hated a fictional character ever before (but the Xander-as-Rainman part more than makes up for the Spike presence!)

Yes! We will all go and shake our fists at Tony Harris!

Together we are strong! Together we will prevail! Together, we can probably get enough bail money together to get out the same night.

Together, we can probably get enough bail money together to get out the same night.

Reminds me of the old joke: A friend will bail you out of jail at 3 in the morning, a real friend will sit next to you in the cell, trying to figure out how the two of you will make bail.

I have great faith that you will work it out.
