So, approximately 24 hours ago a fic idea seized hold of me with tiny sharp demanding teeth, and refused to let go. I flailed at various people over AIM (all of whom were encouraging, and some of whom were actually prepared to talk narrative theory, symbolism and mythology with me - Aspen, Sweeney, Becca, Gen, Kelsey & Ji, you people are lovely) and sketched out an outline before bed.
And then today, I wrote it. I'm actually very glad that I got it done fast - it's the kind of thing that could have stretched out for ages, getting progressively more complex, and I can't afford that kind of drain on my headspace right now.
Eleusis (and by my God have I leaped over a wall)
BSG. Spoilers for 'Maelstrom'. Contains crazy amounts of meta, including veiled references to: Buffy, Hamlet, mathematics, Greek mythology, Buddhist mysticism, existentialism, sociological theory, the Bible, and no small amount of commentary on the show itself.
FUN.
And now to make coffee, and then go and do all of that homework that I was supposed to be doing this weekend.
