Happy Holidays and Writing Angst

[twincityhacker]

Before I forget again: Happy first days of Hanukkah and Kwanzaa

I never thought having MST3K as my main fandom would make it harder to write for other fandoms.

Besides the "There's a detailed cannon?" thing.

Maybe it's my own fault, but for the Africander fiction challenge, I'm having a bit of a problem thing.

And it's not "Anya swings by, even though she's dead."

I can't seem to write any other charecter than Xander, because any other charecter I write my brain misfires and goes "MARY SUE! MARY SUE! MARY SUE!" and dies on the spot.

But I do have to own up to a possible plot contrivence, or two. It's not like it's Technoservo-levels of insanity, but the plot does pin on two leaps of logic. At least, I think it's a leap of logic.

::laughs:: That wouldn't be too unrealistic, considering that Joel may have been high the entire time he was on the show. Common rumor has it, anyway. I certainly don't take it as canon, but the mental picture of Joel toking up in a closet after a bad day on the SOL amuses me.

Now, I can totaly buy Charecter!Joel lighting up in a closet somedays, especialy before and after an experiment.

And you're welcome!

Damn LJ.

He probably pulled out his four-foot tall waterbong after Manos. Hell, that movie makes me wanna get high, and I've never even touched the stuff.

Actually, I ran an experiment once when I came back from having several teeth pulled, and popped in Manos, to see if being high on three diffrent kinds of painkillers (novicane, nitrous oxide, and tyonal-3) could dull the pain of the movie.

It did, but not as much as you would think. NOTHING can kill the pain of that movie. *sigh*
