A weekend of rest and recuperation

[dorinda]

Whew. Finally, a holiday weekend to myself! I just finished a very enervating real-life task, and am exhausted--also, I've unfortunately been sick with a very peculiar and tenacious throat virus for, what, over two weeks now? UGH. Never had anything quite like it. I went to urgent care eventually, and they said the quick-culture strep test was

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, would you ever write Hannibal, do you think? Because that would be *very exciting.*

I would love to! I hope I can! I just don't actually have any story ideas I can get my hands around at present. So I'm trying to kind of keep the backbrain active, and sneak up on it, maybe surprise it into coming up with something.

I feel kind of terrible in general at coming up with story ideas. I mean, besides, you know, "HEY WHAT IF THESE TWO CHARACTERS SNUGGLED". :D I suspect that's one reason I have historically written more often for exchanges than just for myself--other people come up with prompts, or at least approaches, and then that helps give me a framework upon which to make a story-snowman.

And Hannibal feels so particularly challenging to me--it's so arcy, so all of a piece, not like a procedural where you can plug in a new case in various spots. I don't have a post-finale idea, though I am thrilled for those who do (and am cheering them on! *\o/*). I wonder about maybe trying something small for a missing scene, but haven't come up with anything solid yet.

But I will certainly keep trying. There must be something.

I happen to really like HEY WHAT IF THESE TWO CHARACTERS SNUGGLED, but I know what you mean.

Definitely excited about the prospect of all the post-finale fic to come...it's a great gift to have an ambiguous ending (not that an unambiguous one has ever stopped a single fic writer in the history of fandom).

One author writing interesting casefic from an interstitial/alt cannon perspective is Emungere. If you haven't read her work, I definitely recommend it!

i keep meaning to rewatch the hannibal finale and keep not doing it. >.< i mostly want to rewatch the last twenty minutes or so, for all the bloody codependent hannibal and will goodness.

Oh god I would put those last twenty minutes in a loop on a chip in my BRAIN. Bloody codependent climactic Liebestod? DON'T MIND IF I DO.
