all right then
I have finally identified the two major obstacles standing between me and the Merlin fic I'm currently trying to write:
1) It needs -- not a PLOT, per se, I know the basic outline, but plot details. Technicalities and twists. And it's not the kind of story where the plot can flow organically if you know the characters back-to-front, even though that will be useful. Bringing us to the fact that:
2) It's essentially an ensemble piece, even though I'm only using one POV character, and I don't know this fic's versions of the characters well enough yet. And even though I think character-simming is going to be the best way to fix this, I don't need them to just talk to me, I really need them to talk to each other, and that means simming five-sometimes-six people at once. Which, you know, I only sim VERY OCCASIONALLY as it is, and this is going to take up a lot of brainspace.
But I think it'll be worth it, if I can get everything to work.
Yeah, I'm being deliberately vague; I harbour fond hope of keeping this one a surprise, so Claira & Inept are my Secret-Keepers and the rest of you will just have to put up with a lot of ambiguously worded hair-pulling.

Entirely unrelated to the above, does anyone know what the hiphoppy song that samples Dragostea Din Tei currently floating around the radiowaves is? And, um, where I could acquire a copy?
Problem solved!
