Random Star Trek and Batman thoughts...
Jun. 22nd, 2009 04:41 pmFirst, Star Trek. Okay, I've seen lots of recs for Home on FFN, so I went to the author Lanaea's page and HOLY FUCKING SHIT. HER FIC HAS 187,963 WORDS IN IT. I'm sorry, but how can ANYOBODY have a STXI fic with that many words? I stay up all night writing three to four times a week and my fic is only just over 60,000, which I think is pretty damn good considering the movie just came out a few weeks ago. Is it just me, or is this crazy?
LOL, now I'm thinking maybe I should go back to FFN to get more comments!OMG I AM SO JEALOUS OF ALL HER REVIEWS! I love getting lots of comments, and LJ's usually good about that. LOL I'm so bad, I shouldn't bitch at all, I'm only on part 5 after all. And the comments I am getting are COMPLETE AWESOMESAUCE! \o/
Also, I'm kind of incredibly hesitant about reading Star Trek fic. Even if it's really good. IDK, a lot of it doesn't really work for me, even if it's highly rec'd. *shrugs* I love great writing, but I worry sometimes. You know, will my characterization change b/c of something this author did? Will this affect my plot? Etc. But I think it probably won't. I've read lots of fics in other fandoms I write for and they didn't affect my writing. Meh, maybe when I'm done with the first major plot arc in Apogee I'll give it a go. If I've got some other fics done to. Plus, I saved what's available, it's not like it's going anywhere, right? :P
And about TDK, I just realized something epic. I DO NOT RELATE AT ALL TO BRUCE WAYNE. I mean it. I think this is why I have problems writing him. His actions make zero sense to me. I mean, the Joker I get. Completely. One hundred percent. No problem. But Batman is like the craziest character ever created, srsly. A billionaire who decides to dress up in black leather to look like a bat and fight crime? I mean, that's nuts. Lock him up and throw away the key nuts. At least the Joker makes sense. Batman is so crazy I don't know what to do when I'm writing him. *headdesk*
EDIT: My stupid profile page isn't doing what I want it to. Damn HTML code. *kicks*
