Writing and some Heroes
The books are watching me. As I sit, a humongous pile of unread history books stands less than two feet from my chair, quilting me with its unshrinking presence. Perhaps if I stare at it long enough I shall automatically absorb the information into my brain. *stares* Damnit, it's not working.
I seem to have accidentally called one of my characters Charlie Browne, not remembering the other Charlie Brown as I had not sounded the whole name together until two hours later when it smacked me upside the head. Hast surname changing ensued. I don't know how that happened. I have the sudden urge to call someone Snoopy.
Heroes was good. Certain things are making the OTP fangirl in me not so happy, which makes me extra uncomfortable since I really like Emma and her and Peter are really cute together, but Plaude really has become one of those pairings for me where I really can't picture the characters with other people without it feeling like a puzzle piece jammed where it doesn't belong. Thankfully, this doesn't happen to me very often, but this would be one of those times when it's really bad. *sigh* It just figures that when Heroes decides to develop a relationship organically, and in a cutesy manner to boot, I can't enjoy it.
Which is the reason why I'm back to original fic. The entire time those two were onscreen, my novel kept flashing through my mind. My characters with whom I can do whatever I want, and if I say something is true love, then it is and there's no one to gainsay me. *hugs characters* It is very comforting. Even if they do insist on falling in love with the wrong people and stringing out what were meant to be short plots into gargantuan messes that I have to clean up later.
Oh, I read Zero at the Bone. It's awesome. The only reason it took me four days to read it was because of my novel writing and I still can't believe it took me that long because I had to pry it lose from my hands. So good.
Milo looked absolutely gorgeous in that Liberty Mutual commercial. I just felt like saying that again.

Original characters rock. So much. I call them my children. They're a lot of fun to play with even if the plot does have a tendency towards madness.
Oh yes. Very good. And there's one Plaude parallel with D being so taciturn and unwilling to talk about his tragic past and the doctor being so sweet and determined to coax's D softer side out of him.

Mm, it's been ages and ages since I really focused on a group of original characters. Probably so long ago they're all completely cliche-ridden messes.
Ooooh, they just might have to be played by CE and MV in my head, no matter what physical descriptions the text provides.
