30 Days of Fanfic Writing Meme (day 4)

4 – Do you have a "muse" character, that speaks to you more than others, or that tries to push their way in, even when the fic isn't about them? Who are they, and why did that character became your muse?

I don't think I have one character like that.  It probably depends more of what I'm in the mood to write.  Since I mostly write SG-1 fic I have a problem with automatically thinking of all story ideas in how they relate to Jack.  Then I have to remind myself there are three other people on the team and a dozen other characters on the show I could write from.  It's not that he demands to be the center of attention in my stories I just tend to think of the stories in terms of his character.  It's a personal flaw on my side, not his.

[also, I still find it strange to talk about characters as if they are living things... it gives me fits of giggles for some reason]

Stargate SG-1 fic: Healthy Fear of the Dark

This is due by like 8:59pm my time for fictionland .  I just got it done but if someone wants to do a once over of it to find all the errors I undoubtedly left in... please feel free.  I just wanted to get it up in time.

Stargate SG-1 fic: In the Light of Night [v. 2]

Somehow wrote this in like 20 minutes so it probably sucks.  If someone wants to take a look at it I'd appreciate it.  I just needed to get it posted for for a challenge.  I will go over it tomorrow once I've had some sleep.  I hate posting subpar stories that I didn't take time to edit.  Hopefully I won't have to do it again (that would be a kick in the pants to myself to get challenges done early instead of waiting until an hour before they are due).

[EDIT] I want to thank campylobacter for her impromptu beta last night.  Her advice was very helpful and I reworked the beginning.  Although the first paragraph is just as long I cut out a section and combined it with the 2nd one.  I think it works better this way.  Gosh, I hope it's better, lol.  I cut a whole 60 words out of it.

No more waiting until the very last second to finish a story.  I hate publishing stuff that isn't at least a little buffed, lol.
