Chapter 8 progress

[ostarella]

I ran into a stumbling block with 8 - there was one small scene I wanted to include, just to anchor things with canon. I figured it was just a small thing, and even though I wanted it in there, it was bugging me as to how to do it. I couldn't figure out how the details from the scene in the show could fit, realistically, into this story. Nor how to "casually" bring it up. So, this morning, half-asleep, it came to me. Both solutions.

One - I took canon too literally.

Two - instead of making it an incidental - make it the culminating point of the chapter, *and* it figures heavily into the why's of the rest of the story.

I am Brilliant.

Okay, maybe just brighter than a burned out light bulb  ;-)

It was so neat, though - all I had to do was add two sentences to what I already had written and it changed the whole feeling of the chapter. That's what I love about writing - when suddenly, everything just...fits.

Now I just have to find time to get down and dirty with the details.

yeah, I think you could be right about Face/Murdock and Dirk/Dwight. Season 5 does give us the feel that they are good friends. And they all have to be to stick together but I do wonder if Fanfic blurs my own thoughts, especially when I haven't watched a few episodes in a while. I must watch some in the New Year. I don't get the excuse like I use to. When I was pregnant, and had to put my feet up and take it easy ;o) Now I can't get away with being a lazy cow! ;o(

It's something we should maybe discuss on the Shrine - that's a great place to do it. Or what about that other Yahoo group I forget to check and we've been crap at keeping going Confidential or something?

Or we can just discuss it here!
