Fic Update: "Perfect World"
Aug. 9th, 2010 02:17 pm OK, so I managed to finish the entry for Challenge 007 before taking off for the land of No Internet.
Basically, it's all my ideas, crack and otherwise, for a certain FE12 (dis)continuity, which is still clearly a sore point with me. So, no. I didn't make up the part about the pendant, or the part about Minerva letting her pegasus loose in the woods. Those both come from Minerva's support convos as translated by the lovely![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
shimizu_hitomi . As for the rest of it...
( Some bullet points for the 'fic )
I was pretty happy... maybe relieved is a better word... with this when I finished it, but the more I read over it the more I don't like it. I feel like it came quickly because I've essentially written this story before, in bits and pieces deployed elsewhere. Even worse, I'm again getting the feeling that I've read sections of this before. Maybe in my own original 'fic, maybe in professional works, I dunno. But nothing ruins your day like looking over a paragraph and saying, "now where the hell did that actually come from?"
When I get back to the world of 'Net access, I think I'm going to attempt an essay (essay an essay, hah) about what happens when writers get too comfortable with their own versions of characters. It's been bugging me for sometime, and after working on this, it REALLY bugs me.
