Hi, I'm taking over posts for the next few hours! So, what's everyone up to? Any writing triumphs or disasters to share? And if you're joining this hour, welcome!

Well, chronophysics in scifi. So basically I've been reading about plot holes, all of which happen to be in a certain sub-genre.

Important writing update: I just got a remix assignment from whedonland. Also I am going to bed. Probably.

...It's just that I have this really creepy idea I want to write about where there is no single "Rose in Pete's World" because the existence of Pete's World means that the universe is always branching so the single Rose that got stranded there is now like 248028472304 Roses and ONE of them got back to the Doctor that we've been following (who I believe is unique). In one world, the kid's name is actually Doctor.

And none of that has anything to do with anything that I'm writing. And I don't have a plot to go with the idea.

Actually, that made complete sense to me! But then again, I used to watch "Sliders." ; )

In my experience, ideas are the hardest part, and you've got a great one. In my further experience, ideas keep until you're ready to write them. So be happy about what you've got, and don't fret about lack of plot yet!

Congratulations or condolences on the remix assignment (depending on what you think of it) and if you do go to bed, sleep well!

I took the easy way out and am now writing a blog post about the issue. :(

Blog post counts as writing! Also, blog posts and fics are not mutually exclusive. It's a stellar idea, truly. We always think about alternate universes having branched off in the past, but don't think about how one is branching off right now . . . and now . . . and now! So of course there are multiple Roses who got left in Pete's World! And there's a universe where you already have the plot for this fic, too. In this universe it's due to arrive later -- perhaps somewhere around Hour 45?
