Highlander Chronicles Musings

[ithildin]

My story for hl_chronicles is due in September, and I've had a pretty good idea of what it's going to be since I signed up. I really was going to try and not make it a crossover, honest to goodness. And I've occasionally batted back a pushy character, who really thought he should be in it, who shall remain nameless, but now he brought friends to rush me, and damn it, I think it's going to be a crossover. It just seems to work better as I'm mentally constructing it. Maybe I'll write two versions, one that's not a xover for the Chronicles and a xover one for me. Or not. Thoughts? Tequila? Commiseration?

And now I want to watch PotC CotBP, which is actually in no way related to the above, though now I've thought about it, Jack is pretty sure he should be in the story and I should move it back a few centuries.

Right, so, HL commiseration. At the moment I'm trying to decide if I want to shift one of mine from a thing I've never done before and which feels like an awful lot of effort but which I really want to do to all of that plus bonus fic. So, I feel you on the decision making. My only advice would be to say do what comes naturally. What flows for you and what do you hit walls with? Because if what flows is a crossover, by all means, do it. I've found folks are often willing to read a crossover with a fandom they don't know so long as they love the primary fandom. And if your crossover source is easily accessible/explainable? You're in even better shape.

I'm usually fairly quiet on my own LJ and I'm absolute crap at commenting on fic (for which I heartily apologize) but I'm always happy to bat ideas around if you want a sounding board.
