BB Draft Zero

[loaded_march]

I am calling it a monstrous, horribly bad Draft Zero, and I feel horrible for my betas and my artist, because they're going to have to read it in this condition, but I am sick, sick, sick of the BB fic right now, and I need a break from it.

The Draft Zero wordcount?  133,654.

I think my problem is that I've been so caught up in my hs_merlin, I had to find my drive for my BB again.

I didn't at first (because usually my stories are so short that they don't require outlines), but I've started making one and find it really does help. Even if it's so disorganized and probably wouldn't make sense to anyone else.

Ooh, can you imagine if the two types of monkeys got together for a Merlin/Shakespeare fusion? Romeo & Juliet would be too cliche, but I could see The Taming of the Shrew...

My outlines make no sense to anyone else, either! There are arrows going in every direction! It's a giant mindmap that goes nowhere!

But I'm happy to hear you're getting back into your BB!

And

I did not need this new plot bunny. *frowns*

Because I have a tendency to write the dialogue before everything else, mine is filled with random phrases, like, “I hope the dog goes for your face first.” “…What dog?[...]Merlin. What. Dog.” and the like, haha!

*twirls villain mustache* MWHAHAHA!

Every now and then I get great lines of dialogue... that don't fit in the scene I'm writing at the moment. It's IRRITATING. But I save them for when they're supposed to be written.

Also.

No. I refuse. No Shakespearean Merlin. NO.
