tefnutI had lots of time yesterday, and what did I do? I browsed on GAFF, F_W and LJ, meta-ed a bit, wrote an e-mail to my beta-reader (and lost it by clicking on a quick-link before I was finished, grrrr).
I finished correcting "Try again", apart from the first scene that needs to be rewritten.
And I've written... sit down, it's incredible... four sentences (yes, four!) of my new fanfic.
He didn't care. His hands, at last, were clean.

The Rhine flowed gently. The burden it was carrying was light.
That's a whooping twenty-word elucubration. Go me.
I'm scared by this story. I know where I'm going with it. I have a plot, strong characters, a nice wee setting and interesting conflicts. I also have nice possibilities to include bits of German and prehistoric trivia to strengthen and give flavour to the story.
But it freaks me out. I don't know whether it is because it's a tad ambitious for me, or because it's going to be my first slashfic (apart from the drabbles and the Hammond/Thor parody). I just know that I'm chickening out. Go me, really.
On an aside, I had a nightmare about last week's stoning. In my dream it was a shooting perpetrated by four guys. It turned out relatively well in the end: I hid behind a car with two kids, stoned one guy dead between the eyes, grabbed his gun and killed the other three. Yes, I'm a peaceful explorer, too. :-/
