Because it Blends!

[dime_liora]

There's a rule for English majors, or maybe writers? I forget, that goes "Write drunk, edit sober". Well this weekend I am attempting to use up the last of the citrus vodka, and in that quest I am on my second night of girly drink drunkness. May the universe bless spellcheck. So, I tell my logical self, let's write. Because write drunk. Ha ha! Also, anything I read at this point will be forgotten or dissected badly, and if I turn Skyrim back on I am lost. So I'm aimlessly moving through Youtube videos as I tap away, and suddenly there it is, and I just click on it. There's no fear, because, why?

Writing time is taking a serious hit, and I've got a lot of stuff sitting on the backburner and I'd like to really get going on the sequel to Lost Time, but there's this video now. I'm not necessarily a Justin Timberlake fan, I'm just a fan of anything I can get lost in. But this video... I have this series of ideas now. I've never really written a J2. Started one, and got three paragraphs in before something shiny and different took my attention. Except now I am consumed by this idea, because of this fucking Youtube video that doesn't make a lot of sense to me right now, but I want to write a J2 story where Jensen is working with organized crime, an enforcer maybe or something similarly brutish, and he and Jared hook up. Story opens with the two of them in a club, Jared across the way and pressed up against someone that Jensen fucking hates, and the reader gets that they broke up, Jared was cheating, all fresh and making him fucking crazy. The story pans out from there, Jared being dragged back and forth with Jensen trying to decide between forgetting him and going after him. Hints of something dark in the new relationship, and a twist in Jensen's identity.

I can see it, several scenes taken off that stupid video, and I have it in my stupid drunk head, but if I start that nothing else will get progress, and honestly I'm not all that familiar with J2. I haven't read as much of it.

I need to load up Skyrim...

I dunno, what do you guys think?

I'll be honest with you, the answer is a lot of vodka. The good news is, I still have all the ideas, but I'm squinting at it now trying to figure that out myself...

I have to echo tnt's statement - you write it, I read it. I might be a groupie.

I can totally see that scenario for a J2 fic though, without even watching the video...and then I watched and made it to minute two before I had to turn it off. So back to J2...I haven't read a lot of it, but have started venturing into it more the last couple months.

Citrus vodka FTW...I too, am a girly drink drinker. I usually tell the bartender (or guy at the party making drinks) - make it fruity.

I have a signature daiquiri I make with that, fresh strawberries, and whip cream blended in. The hubby went to bed early last night because he had work this morning, so it was just me, Skyrim, the laptop, and vodka.

I have to be honest, I remembered the video being awesome, but when I rewatched it sober it wasn't. In fact it doesn't have a single moment I remember being in it...which makes me wonder how drunk I really was...

Still, I'm kinda pumped about the story. :D Do I get to press you into service to read it, or am I already over-abusing your generosity? :)

It's lucky you write and play Skyrim when you're drunk...I am that girl that drunk texts. Oh yeah. Depending on who you are in my life, you may find it funny, awkward, cute or stupid. And I tend to blend multiple conversations in my head, so the top 2 or 3 people in my most recent texts bear the brunt of whatever I'm feeling.

If you don't press me into service, I will feel abandoned and bereft. (insert sad face)

I will certainly abuse your generosity then. :D

Also, first rule of drinking nights is now hiding the cell phone while I'm still sober. It's a promise I made a friend of mine who has a tendency to date overly jealous women who lose their shit if the phone goes off at three am with ramblings, no matter what those ramblings are. I should probably take it a step further and disconnect the internet though...damn technology and progress.
