To my creativity demons:

[mandolin]

1) No, I will not write (insert crossover idea here). All the ideas you've given me in the past three months have been in the same vein: Character A from Show A gets dropped into the universe of Show B and chaos ensues. And the fact that you keep trying to Mary Sue that displaced character doesn't help EITHER. The one idea you had that does not fall into this category hinges on vague use of magic and a convention that's way overdone in one fandom, and it practically necessitates the Crossover Data Dump. Not to mention that I do not have enough of a handle on one of the shows to write it.

2) No, I will not jump into a new story idea right now. You are only allowed to help me with the following:
- short vignette ideas,
- a new part for the round robin,
- comic strip stuff (if the art demons cooperate),
- WIPs that I've had to set aside *cough*Sharp Edges*cough*,
- my part of my group paper.

Since you haven't done any of the above, SHUT UP.

3) We have a Halloween costume. The fact that you suddenly have five more ideas does not mean I should go invent a totally new one in two days. I cannot turn a red wig and a green leotard that isn't sleeveless anyway and that I can't doctor properly into Poison Ivy. The accounting department nixed the Elle Driver costume MONTHS ago. And weren't you idiots the ones who shot it down with demands of "We need an excuse to wear the red dress from Excalibor again!" in the first place?

4) No, we're not buying a DVD recorder. Yes, I know you all drooled when Death got one, but we can always ask her to burn our Now and Again episodes onto DVD. We are not throwing that much money away. It's either that or the digital bridge. Pick one.

5) I'm trying to get Assignment 4 finished. I do not need you blathering on about new LJ icon ideas right now.

6) NOW you give me an idea for a Halloween strip? GAH! *headdesk*


What can I say? My brain is weird.

Your brain is weird?

I got to putting Part 8 of TR to paper, when what should happen? My other OC's (whom I know exist, but really haven't had the opportunity to meet yet) decided to step to the forefront and introduce themselves in mass.

So, now I've got four additional OC's clambouring to be introduced, who really don't seem to click on the idea that crossover universes have TOO MANY characters as it is and chances are they'll just get to keep taking back seats for a good long while.

Grr.

Sorry, but Oh. My. Gods. Icon love! I adore Muppet Treasure Island! Tim Curry (...I just realized I might have spelled that wrong...)! "This is my only number!" Yay!
