Fannish productivity, or lack thereof.

bironic1. 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.

And quality certainly isn't why I've been monofannish about House for so long. In fact, I really don't know the reason for that! My longest fandom ever. I just know that I'm not ready to move on yet. The next fandom will come when it will come!
