this is my weapon, this is my gun

bunn7cula On the creative front, I have a few things kicking around:
1. THE GPSC ZINE! I'm trying to get more organized about this, because, well...someone will have to. There are three of us mods working to put this together, and collectively there are many interesting ideas being discussed and considered, but it all needs to be corralled. Not sure if there will be an overarching theme to the thing yet but I'm particularly interested in the idea of being an homage to the rich history of our zine forbearers while simultaneously taking a more modern approach to things like subject and format. And since GPSC is especially good at them, There Will Be Memes. Oh, yes. But not penises--a non-unanimous consensus decision which I'm both sad and relieved about because while I do enjoy an expertly-rendered, macro-photorealistic Throbbing Tower, they are also a bit of a source of second-hand embarrassment because evidently there is still some shred of Victorian repression left in me, probably from 8 years of Catholic school. I dunno. I really work to overcome this by being limitlessly awful on the server, though.
2. So yeah, I have wips laying around crying to be finished off because I'm a selfish lover like that, but I have a new idea I've gotten excited enough about to start outlining. Which never happens--I've always been a pantser. This has served me okay in the past, but I have to admit that I ama little terrified of writing B7 because of the strong history of both high quality and critique in the fanficdom. I don't know if fics are getting the same level of scrutiny now that they have in the past, because I think fandom has maybe changed...but I'm not really qualified to come to that conclusion because I'm only a year into this, and trying to familiarize yourself with a 40 year old fandom takes some time. Anyway, I've been outlining a thing because I don't want it to suck. It's PWB Blake/Travis, which has of course been done before, but what hasn't. (If anyone has any fic suggestions in this vein, please send them my way! I've read a few but definitely not all of them.) There are many like it, but this one is mine and all that.
3. I was totally going to have a third thing, but in the time it's taken to write this I've gotten three actual real phone calls that were not spam, and now I forget what it was going to be about. Maybe all the crappy half-finished vids I'm in the middle of, too. Or the intentions to filk. Or none of that. awkward silence, so picks up phone Oh, look--they are gender bending the cast through filters in the server right now...and Gan makes a pretty lady!

What if they were honey trapping each other???
Well now, this does open up some interesting dark avenues to explore.
