cinaedYou know what's annoying? When you're trying to write fics, and the characters keep trying to twist the plot their way. *shakes fist at the characters* I have specific plots, damnit, they don't get to take control!
Example one: CSI fic, the final part of a trilogy. Greg is all, "This is too angsty. I'm sick of angst. Write a happy fic." And when I tell him I'll write a happy fic after I'm done with this fic, since folks have been waiting for months for the end of the trilogy? "No. Write a happy fic now. Enough with me fucking Hodges over with my stupidity."
Example two: SGA fic, in which Radek and Rodney won't APOLOGIZE to each other. ...Okay, Radek did, but it was hidden behind a ton of insults and wasn't really sincere. Still, at least the words "I'm sorry" were said, right? *shifty eyes* Right. But I say, "Okay, fellas, you've bitched each other out, time to make up and go back to friendly snark and insults." And they're all, "...Hell no," and are pointedly ignoring each other. I'm going to have to sic Elizabeth on their asses.
*glowers at both fics*
