Fannish productivity, or lack thereof.
1. I started a mini-kink_bingo thing last night, got maybe 250 words in and found that it read as rape recovery instead of shaking-with-need adrenaline-crash sex. Dead stop. I couldn't devalue what was there by turning it into a PWP, and I didn't feel I could do justice to the story it was becoming.
2. Not that I'm already neck deep in the other vid or anything, but I had this wonderfully awful idea for a Sheppard/Ronon or Sheppard/McKay video* and now I've been listening to this terrible dance song for a couple of days. Nothing snuffs my rare-enough creative energies more effectively than describing things before I do them, so I won't say more until I actually start on it, but it's very silly. Comedy seems to be my preferred vidding genre.
Though there's also this one-verse song by Nat King Cole, Nature Boy, which would make a marvelous mood/character piece on Sheppard finding his people in Pegasus. (Interesting note: dissonant remix by David Bowie and Massive Attack fanvidded as a tribute to Alain Delon. All I know about Alain Delon is that Anne Rice said he looked like Armand.)
* Lest it sound so, I have not thus far and do not plan to only make slash vids. Just to remind myself: There was House/Wilson left open to friendship or slash interpretation, SGA gen, Leon/Mathilda, and SGA cast/tentacles; and in the works are SGA team and SGA universe gen, plus the above**; and there is diversity on the little scribbly note of future possibilities, too. I really do not think of myself as a slasher, not when it's used to mean that a person slashes exclusively or with more emphasis than they enjoy or produce het or gen. One of these days I'll do a "ten things everyone here should know about me" post.
** Suspicions that I am reading, watching and writing SGA more than House, however, would be justified. House is just not giving me what I need right now. Dexter did, and so, Lord help me, does The Vampire Diaries in its own teen angst way. Though with House, again, I haven't quit the show yet, and there are WsIP that I intend to finish, including three stories and a vid.

Replace SGA with Lie to Me and that's me in a nutshell.* :-\ For the same reasons, too. For me it felt like House ended with "Both Sides Now." I just have not felt invested in the 6th season. OTOH, I am completely enthralled by Cal Lightman/Tim Roth, and the family/friend/respect dynamic that's going on in LtM.
*Except for the reading part, which saddens me. There are good LtM fics, but only a handful of truly outstanding fics in the fandom, and so much fic feels the same. I've been spoilt for fic reading the past few years.

I'm glad you have Lie to Me to enjoy, though! Maybe the fic will pick up as/if the show gets more popular.
