the delphic expanse

Sure, I've got threeways going on in my fics. But that's not weird, imo.

But, I did once try my hand at a G-rated fic involving Shran and Archer in a rowboat. I never finished it - but someday I will.

I think the strangest place the muse ever took me was pairing off MU Lizzie Tucker with MU Archer. It really just started out because Lizzie needed someone to talk to - and I didn't want to create another OC. As you know, characters need someone to bounce ideas off. So, I resurrected Archer for that purpose - and it turned into a dysfunctional MU love story.

I'm sorry, but you make me want to bitch slap Lizzie, like Cher in 'Moonstruck' "Snap out of it!"

Yes, I know.

But, that whole hot mess did keep her out of the Mary Sue zone, so it served a purpose. And just remember, that was the thing that finally inspired Tucker to punch Archer in the face.


edited to add: Part of my inspiration for that was another Elizabeth. Queen Elizabeth I had a good looking, ambitious and not very smart favorite called Robert Dudley. I kind of pictured Lizzie Tucker taking the same approach - not wanting someone who could out smart her - but someone who was good in the sack and looked good and she could easily manipulate. It's the MU, after all.

There are three things that I consider the most weird, or unusual, amongst some of the weirdness that sometimes goes on in my writing.

1. In a long AU story, primarily a R/S shipping, Trip thought a female Klingon engineer was coming on to him, and he was pretty much terrified of the prospect. Turns out she was just trying to butter him up to get a good recommendation.

2. I did a short piece about Major Hayes' death -- from his point of view in the sickbay.

3. A haunting aboard the Enterprise. Okay, so I was channeling Ghost Hunters at the time, but it turned out halfway decent, I think. And it gave Mayweather a chance to have a big part, too.

Kathy Rose, I mentioned this on the welcome thread but your 'Kindred Destinies' showing the crew together through-out history was weirdly cool!

Weirdest thing?

Switched the crew around so they were in different positions, but tried to keep their personalities intact in their new roles.

It was a LOT harder than I thought. Still is.

Trip doing karaoke to "I Touch Myself" comes to mind...

Having Orions discuss the value of pecan pie in their search to find out why Trip wasn't effected by them....

Music. When faced with a blank doc I really started to wonder what the heck I was thinking with the idea of conveying music in writing.

& I think some people thought Vulcan missionaries were weird, I guess.
