What's this inabilty about not being able to write properly loved up canon couples? Case in point: Billy Kaplan and Teddy Altman.

I love seeing you take on alternate universe concepts (like genderswaps and steampunk) that fandom usually does flippantly, because you take them way more seriously than anyone else I've ever seen and it's awesome.

I'm sorry you're blocked. When I stay up late and eat something (cheese works REALLY well) for about an hour before I go to bed, I have the tippyest dreams/nightmares.
