Plot is Scary
Jul. 17th, 2010 02:51 pmOne of the nice things about writing fan fiction is that you don't always need a very solid plot -- and this is true regardless of whether you're writing porn or something else. You can bounce off plots that already exist in order to write missing scenes, develop characters, etc.
Since I've started writing this original story, I've been enjoying, in many ways, writing without those constraints -- I've been liking not having to rein my characters in, in some ways. I can add new elements to the characters without fearing that I'm contradicting canon, or that my wonderful new idea will be jossed at some point. At the same time though... I really do need to make the plot I'm working on WORK. I'm 2/3 of the way through the story now, and, as you might expect, the final third is where everything gets resolved -- I just hope that my resolution doesn't come across as too forced.
I'm not used to doing this!
