So far re: writing attempts I have about half a page of Christopher Pike in crisis re: fate and recklessness because if he knows his future then “this will be fine” but erm what if it’s not? I am drawn to that. I have a Judson panic re: time-travelling Flynn headcanon but I digress.

I also have a few notes re: Dakara re-origination machine and the infinity stones. Also how the Aschen and the Vulcan’s are cast from the same mould, and I can kinda see Jaffa and Klingon’s the same way. Unfortunately I can’t think of easy crossovers for the other Star Trek races which kinda sinks the whole Stargate/Star Trek mash-up my mind was musing on.

I stopped with the Pike in crisis because I WAS DOING IT AGAIN!! I have such a habit of characters ‘thinking’ and so they rarely talk to one another. I totally didn’t realize I did that until a beta pointed it out and now I can’t unsee it. It makes my work passive, as it’s a lot of statements and not a lot of forward momentum, which means it’s not a page-turner. It’s something I need to work on. A bit like how a few years back I head-hopped all the time but now I’ve trained myself to stick to proper perspective.

Briefly I considered a small one-shot with Dutch and Johnny, not the one I mentioned last time, but instead a canon piece for season five where they talk about Johnny’s mixed up feelings thanks to The Lady’s brainwashing/amnesia/delusion thing. I can kinda summarise that in one sentence though with Dutch saying something like “You are the heart of the team for a reason Johnny Jaqobis, you have a lot of love in you. You don’t miss being married to me, you miss being married. The delusion stuck easily because you do love me.” “Just not like that.” and Johnny was easy to mix up due to missing Pawter so much and Dutch being so important to him. They are family and so making them family was something he wouldn’t fight.

So yeah I kinda don’t feel like writing it as I have said it now. Plus I suspect we’ll see this on the show anyway. I haven’t seen the latest episode yet (tonight!) and there’s 6 more to go after it so I’m sure it’ll be addressed.

Anyway all of this is just saying that I’ve been trying to do the writing thing. It’s just nothing has stuck yet.
