I wish I could write more than prologues, first chapters, and short moments in time (ie oneshots, drabbles, etc.)^^ I have a fanfic in the makings atm, a reply to a norsekink prompt, and I am pretty proud that it has two chapters already, and probably will have a third when finished.
I am just really struggling with plots. For the life of me, I cant seem to come up with a good one, though I really love to read long, plotty stories. There is so much to think about in a plotty story, so much to balance (plot arcs, character arcs, relationships, conflicts, resolutions, action and reflection, etc), so much research to do. It is so much work! I really don't know how people do it.
Oneshots and drabbles are so much easier for me. It's just one situation, one idea. No arcs, no plot, just a short moment in time. One facet of a character or a relationship, one detail of a bigger picture that stays in the shadows of imagination.
I stopped watching anything made by Moffat after he declared asexual characters not intereting enough for stories. That meant no Sherlock season three, and no more Dr. Who, either.
I am so glad Sense8 got a new season, because it's awesome! They deserve it, and what kind of ending was that, anyway? I mean, it made sense, narratively speaking, but emotionally? I was all over the place! Nothing is resolved, and I have no idea how they will get out of it.
Halt and Catch Fire is great, too. Is the second season out already? I haven't seen much about it on tumblr.
Yeah, it is good to know that we can drift to other fandoms when we get inspired by the canon. Things change all the time, and it's good to know that we can still be fangirls even if our fandom (and maybe the way we engage with the community, the canon, etc.) changes.
