i don't owe him nothing
Mar. 5th, 2012 11:41 amI was so out of it last night that I know I watched tv but except for ( minor spoiler for the Good Wife ), I don't even know what I watched.
I did manage to add 300 words onto the story I'm writing, and they actually make sense in the cold light of morning, so that's good.
I spent most of Saturday dicking around with the Remix FAQ (which mostly stayed the same, but...) and reading the first four volumes of J. Michael Straczynski's run on Amazing Spider-Man. I've said it before, but Spider-man is my all-time favoritest superhero and that remains true despite my current affection for (many) others.
So far, I mostly like what I've read, though ( vague spoilers for overall themes, not actual plot events or details ) I especially like that Peter is an adult, that he has a job he's good at (I wish he were my science teacher), but it makes me sad that he has no friends. Like, in four volumes, literally the only people he spends time with aside from the people he's helping and his students (often the same group) or people helping him fight crime, are MJ and Aunt May, with a guest appearance by Captain America in one issue. PETER, WHERE ARE YOUR FRIENDS? At least in Ultimate Spider-man, as depressing as it is (and dear god, it was depressing), he has MJ and Gwen and Kitty and Johnny Storm and Bobby Drake and Kenny what's his face. He has friends. Oh, Peter, I would be your friend. The other part that I liked was ( spoiler ) So I'm going to keep reading, though I might just skip over some of the bad stuff I know is coming.
I also read Batman Inc.: Leviathan Strikes, which probably would have made more sense if I'd read the earlier issues? But mostly I just read it for the first story with Steph-as-Batgirl in all-girls assassin training school, because Steph in a schoolgirl uniform and working with Bruce makes me want ALL the bad wrong hot Bruce/Steph naughty schoolgirl roleplaying porn EVER. Jesus that would be hot. Ahem.
I spent my morning outlining fic via text with![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
angelgazing, but I'm still not sure how to write the main part of the story. How do you make epistolary fic work? I have never been able to. Writing is hard, yo.
