Eric is slashable with everyone!

Eric/Bill antagonism, Eric/Godric maker love, Eric throwing Stan (Ed Quinn/Nathan from Eureka) against a wall, and now Eric calling Jason "good boy."

So I started in on my first fic since the fairytale one I did with Eureka last year for a challenge. It's the shiny new Star Trek reboot fandom. I mapped out the story like a good girl - plot, multiple arcs, character development, yadda, yadda. It looked like a great beginning and ideas for sequels had already popped up and I get oh about 7,000 words into it and my characters have officially told my original plot to go fuck itself - they're doing their own thing. I love my characters, but am currently a tiny bit concerned that they have (and I have) very little idea about where they're going.

My very first fic (oh how I cringe thinking about it) involved a decent premise and engaging characters who also did not know where they were going. I had a mild panic attack between the lack of direction and the attention it drew, so I wound up putting it out of it's misery with alien pet chupacabras (seriously don't ask, and if you read it I apologize).

My question is to anyone out there, have you experienced this before and if so how do you handle it?

Got to see an early screening of Star Trek tonight. Spoilers under cut.( Read more... )
