andrew_in_drag | Rewriting A Momentary Lapse of Reason...

...Hereafter known as AMLOR, because that's a bloody long title.

I decided to rewrite this old, old, old fic of mine on the suggestion of

lady_sb. Honestly, I'd forgotten all about it. It was languishing in my old account,

hallelujah_hide, and on her recommendation I started reading it again and, just to blow my own horn, I like it.

I'm really enjoying the rewrite, too. I'm not changing much plot, dialogue, characterisation or much of anything, really - just tweaking so it reads better, ironing out bits that don't make sense. It's something that I should do with everything before I post, but life is short ~~and I am lazy~~.

I have up to ten chapters of it written now, so I can start progressing the fic from where I last left off - I turned the prologue into chapter one, because it really wasn't a prologue. It was just a...logue.

I seem to have a liking for conflicted Toshiya and naive, good-guy Kaoru.

Mood Killers: 'm' key sticking (I had the same problem when I was writing a fic three years ago, too. On a different laptop. Spooky.); continually typing 'aburptly' instead of 'abruptly'; lack of usual inspirational substances (alcohol, drugz, uni friends), since I'm back in the parental home for Easter.

Mood Enhancers: the realisation that the song "I'm Only Happy When It Rains" by Garbage pretty much describes my Toshiya all over, so listening to that againandagainandagain; the prospect of an empty house (parents off to China, seemingly out of the blue); and photographs, photographs, photographs.

So I would love more inspiration images, if anybody has them knocking around - whatever inspires you, I'd be really keen to know! Anything you can scrape together would be good, or any ideas you have - you never know what might end up being indispensable!

So let me know guys! We're all in this together, or something.
