The epistles of two imaginary characters
And characters that aren't even mine. However, I used this as an exercise with a willing participant to try and work some character kinks out for myself in a previously mentioned fanfic. They don't necessarily read the same way in my fic but this helped me cement my ideas on their behaviours and opinions. A little.

Writer's Block: Space Wars
Firefly, obviously.
Nothing can match the genius of a sci-fi western.
But BSG and SG-1/SGA get major props because although I haven't been dragged into those fandoms yet, I know where respect is due.

Halves
I dress in your clothes
I pose for your photos
I follow you round,
I leave you alone.
I love you forever
I protect you from us
I'm watching you sideways,
I sign you a name.
I read all your books
I call your cat ugly
I hear your heart beating,
I sleep in your bed.
We're nothing together
We're attached at the hip
We're sisters somehow,
We're sisters somehow.

Maybe Compassion
Willful Misunderstanding.
Like a big tangled knot of
laughter, passive aggressive tension
and silence.
Nervous Eyes.
The way you look has
little tongues wagging,
wondering on who you are and who
you date.
Having Trouble.
Just try to keep your
emotions under control, a little.
Move us like chess pieces, more
decisively than you feel,
bluff us.
And you'll grow ( Read more... )
