Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Okay, you know what bites?

Finally deciding the story you want to remix, and the concept you want to use, going back to look at the original story one more time--and realizing that not only has this story already been remixed, but that the remix used the exact same concept you had picked.

Crap.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

But is yours the same story? If not, couldn't you do it anyway?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

That's...

Um, it was a very good idea?

Yeah, I am unhelpful here.

It seems pointless, Beverly. It's been done. And I haven't written it yet, so now I don't want to.

Well, I do get that, if it's not the story that's burning its way out your finger-ends. I only meant "write it anyway" if it was.

I'm sorry, though.

Before Cass makes me blush any more, I shall beat her to the punch and say that I have committed SPN fic.

eta because fandom is apparently irrelevant at ass am.

I only threatened. And cajoled. And prodded.

It's not like I was out of line though, really... It's good fic.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ailleann, that was fabulous.

Good one, Ailleann! You know that means you have to write more for us, now.

I guess so. Next is supposed to be something about Vegas, for which my only inspiration so far has been that there's a town near Vegas called Winchester, and some kind of drunken rambling about a crossdresser.

eta: The drunken rambling was done by me.
