Fighting with the Muse

[aurora_novarum]

Following Pepper's lead. (And we both blame kalquessa for it all).

Me: Daniel isn't cooperating with me! Wah!

Daniel: You want me to bitch and eat cake. I'm not feeling particularly bitchy today. Plus I'm full at the moment.

Me: Do you understand the icon inspiration? It's a theme! Look I already skipped past you and did Sam's and Landry's.

Sam: (raises hand) Do you remember the notes you just got back from the beta on the done scenes? You totally punted my section. Rewrite is needed.

Me: Yes, yes. I know. I've got notes. I just don't want to sound repetitive to other things that happen. Daniel's not being cooperative in *that* one either.

Daniel: Hey! Teal'c is equally to blame for that section. We're trying. You just keep changing your mind.

Me: Who's changing who? I've tried writing your section FOUR count them FOUR times. It keeps dying.

Daniel: I think it just means you're indecisive.

Teal'c: My section was written quite eloquently in one draft *iz smug*

Jack: Hey, the icon is about me! I'm not in here so much.

Me: *makes shuushing noises* It's a *theme*. And you get to be the grand finale!

Jack: Yeah, but you don't even do *five things* memes. And now you're writing ten mini stories!

Me: It just turned into a...a thing! Look, I've still got NINE completely other icon fics to write! NINE ICON FICS! People are waiting!

Sam: You know your beta had a suggestion for Daniel's cake section. Something about covering him with cake and she could lick off the frosting?

Daniel: What?!

Me: See? Don't tempt me.

Muse: *files fingernails* Look, you're the one who keeps getting distracted betaing stories and rereading OLD fic.

Me: That's...just...totally not the point.

Muse: Not to mention throttling up that jacksamfriends thing. Didn't you already sign up for stargate_summer too? Someone needs to knuckle down and let me do my work.

Me: Oh Shush!

I will assume that Daniel said "what?!" there at the end with that seductive eyebrow raise, a touch of tongue tip to lips, and interest!

that's my story and I'm stickin' to it!

*iz cracking up at your cracking up*

here, dearest, Daniel will flirt with you to make it all better!

Heehee!

Yeah, they're just... I can understand why people write such a lot of whump fic, you know? Serves 'em right.

:D Sometimes you just have to have a little internal slapfest.

*teeheehee* (both bosses in the office and I have to hide to wipe the smirk off my face!) priceless!

Bwahahahaha! If only I'd known what tossing that icon out for you would lead to I'd've... Well, actually, I'd probably have been laughing sooner. :)

{chortle} look on the bright side, at least you don't have characters who simply look at you and mutter "That's on a need to know basis, and you don't need to know."

And then wonder why you metaphorically thump them :)

Bwhahaha! I'm glad to see I'm not the only loony who talks to her characters when they are not cooperating.

[mrspollifax.livejournal.com]

Hee. I'm sorry that they're being stubborn! But still --

Look, you're the one who keeps getting distracted betaing stories and rereading OLD fic.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. I really didn't spend large chunks of last night or this morning trying to find a bunch of stuff I didn't seem to have bookmarked and then re-reading all of it. Really.

I like smug Teal'c!

[sg-betty.livejournal.com]

Lol! Your muse isn't taking a break, it's just being... unusual. ; )
This is commentfic in it's most literal interpretation...

Okay. That? That made me laugh out loud. Really loudly. Out loud. As in my-kid-got-that-startled-constipated-look-he-gets-right-before-he-starts-wailing-'cause-I-accidently-scared-the-crap-out-of-him loud. Right at Sam's line about your beta and Daniel's frosting.

[kalquessa.livejournal.com]

Aahahahaa I'm so glad you pointed me at this, I totally missed it!

Teal'c does smug so well.

*huggles your character muses*

I give them chocolate when they're being difficult. It doesn't always help but it makes them happy.
