I, for one, DEFINITELY think you need run with this time travel thing. It totally adds intensity in terms of scenes, what actually happens, and (most importantly) between the two of them. omg AS IF that intensity wasn't ratcheted up enough, but this could really bring it above and beyond....
I love that you love to write. Think about somehow doing it reasons other than your (and our) own pleasure. Really.
i like the time travel too i'm just... i don't know... unable to decide on a storyline within it that i love. Like I thought i'd have brad die (a little after the moment posted above) and then nate would use his power to go back and make it so he didn't die (and it would work). But i'm just not that into it today, lol. :/
or like... i want to write one that is semi-dark tower like - but it needs some sort of mission to accomplish and i'm bad at missions. I NEED A MISSION! Give me one or no Pacific gifs for you!!!
Ok, as for the death idea- ANOTHER GREAT ONE! If you're not into it, put it on the backburner for a little while, then come back to it and see how you feel. I reaaaaaaaaally like it!! You've gotta be into it though, willing to write, I can't push you lol. Sometimes though, I find that some things I'm not feeling, if I just hammer my way through all kinds of takes on it, different ways to do it, I end up tunneling through it to a place where I come to love it. Does that make any sense? Bounce it the fuck around my head like a basketball nonstop until it becomes something else. Ok, my analogies when it comes to writing processes SUPER suck LOLOLOL but I think you see what I'm getting at. Bottom line, I hope you won't abandon the idea too quickly ;)
you're welcome!! you know i love sharing the gifs i find with you :D
i know i know i know *hangs head* i should just stop thinking about it for a while and then i'll love it again - but i want something to do while at work (LOL bc work isn't enough) and fic is how i like to spend my time there...
hmmm okay.. i shall not abandon it.
also - did i mention that I MISS YOU!!!!!!! I've been so absent from LJ lately i feel like i never see you anymore *hugs*
Lol, that's fine, I fully realize how useless that comment sounded the second I posted it.
How about describing some of the story directions that other people have told you? I'm curious and might actually be able to offer a useful opinion in that case.
well. I was thinking i wanted Brad to die, and then for Nate to use his time travel power to go back and change it so he doesn't even though they've just sort of met, but nate is guilty that Brad died bc he was all staring at nate.
the things i've talked about with other ppl is like - nate's job/how he decides to go back and 'save' brad/nate's life (he's kind of a loner).
but then we've also talked about how nate maybe owns some sort of shop (antiques/old books/pawn shops) and Brad kind of starts looking into how he ends up with all this stuff (and it's bc he can travel through time).
I like both of them so much.. but i'm still completely stuck on moving forward at all.
I love the bit you posted! It reminds me in a very pleasant way of the show Journeyman, which alas, was canceled far too soon. Although it needs moar Ray. :P
*cries as i abandon all hope to come up with something that moves my heart* I love bouncing ideas with you too. the million fics you're writing right now make me so happy.
You do not even understand how much i love you right now. you are the first person i've talked to who knows anything about the dark tower and can see how this can work.
GASP! okay okay... okay okayokayokayokay What if Nate collects Brad for his ka-tet and they can even practice stuff and be like "He who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father. I aim with my eye." *shaking and crying*
and they'll live in some sort of "unknown time" maybe.. and then after he collects Brad, both of them will go and collect ray and walt to fill out their ka-tet from like, the 80s and 90s respectively (or whenever).
gahh my dinner is done cooking and i have to finish preparing it.

*gives you stern look* your stuff is not shit nor is it pretending to be fic young lady. It's fantastic and gives most all other fic a bad name.
