I've started thinking about my sequel to "Signing Up" again. My major hangup is the plot portion. I've written plenty of fluff on it already, but the story leads up to the first trip out in the new TARDIS. I feel like I really have to show the trip, otherwise it'll feel unfinished.
  • Thought of one fairly complex plot. Wrote a scooter chase scene, but stopped writing due to the complex plot.

  • [livejournal.com profile] shinyopals offered up another good plot that would fit very well with insight into the Doctor and his new half-human-ness. Didn't feel motivated enough to write on it.

  • Brainstormed a fairly simple plot, and then realized it's been done to death, probably because it's simple.

Urg. I need a plot-in-a-box. It's a part of the story that I think really needs to be there, but I have no desire to write it.

Maybe I should try a short story or two, just to get back on the bike. I have no idea what to write about though.

Hmmm, the many cellphones of Rose?

How bout:
Opal and Frances meet Winnie the Pooh.

*SNORTS*

Opal: EEEEEEEE!! *HUGS*

Frances: EW. THAT'S SOME CREEPY GUY IN A POOH SUIT.

Opal: Can't hear you. Hugging.

do you remember Rosanne?

Evidence that hugging Pooh cures everything

You left out the "Hugging a BEAR. See? Cuddly!" part of Opal's response.

Plot scenario generator? They're often rather amusing and crackish, just what you need for Who!

"The story starts when your protagonist hides in a closet.

Another character is someone your protagonist dated who wants your protagonist dead."

Hmm. I don't really feel like writing Doctor/Master. :D

Or instead of the crack you can go with Rose and Jimmy Stones.

Cause everyone loves some bastard Jimmy Stone fic.

Eh, I've never been that interested in exploring Jimmy!fic.

OMG. Doctor/Rose hivemind strikes again. I think I wrote something pretty much exactly like this this weekend.

Hmm. If you're looking for an original prompt, how about... The Doctor really does meet a drama llama?

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-08-24 09:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Must be something in the air!

And BWAH!! I think Rose would still try to make friends with it. XD

Oh totally.

The drama llama would be all: "Oh honey, wandering around with a 900 year old alien? He's got to be good in bed, right?"

And Rose would be all: "900 years of experience, let's just say that."

Then the drama llama would say: "Does he do cross-species relationships? Well, obviously, he does but... Does my fur look good today?"

SEE. PRACTICALLY WRITES ITSELF.

Plot is my worst nightmare. I can barely ever get one going. Most of my fics are character studies where nothing much happens except for maybe a personal revelation.

Umm....If you want short fluff prompts, how about The Doctor Discovers YouTube (and spends 3 days watching things). Rose has to track him down and stop him before he tries all the things he's seen to test if they are fake or real.

That's better than me. Mine are just fluff. XD

HA!

Doctor: I could totally ski behind a bear!

Rose: *waves goodbye to that incarnation*

Bwhahaha!!! You don't need a plot! Crack fic is the way to go! :P

Ooh! You could have them get separated from each other right away. It would be traumatizing AND would lead to clinging.

Or they go to a planet that the Doctor thought he KNEW EVERYTHING ABOUT... like... um... ALL BANANAS EVERYWHERE... and then it's covered in pears or something.

AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

But hmmm. I think I've been focusing too much on it being a regular episode-type story. It *could* be something funny.

*Petpet*

I honestly find it far easier to work with plot when I've come up with it myself and genuinely want to write it. I mean... are there any (specific) things you really want to happen?

Also, I totally need a tag. I don't care what you say. I DO. XD

And you should write about kissing. I have no other requirements.

[identity profile] mrv3000.livejournal.com 2009-08-25 04:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah. *sighs* Unfortunately there's nothing I really want to happen, other than the non-plot things I've already written.
