The Process of Writing or THESE FREAKIN' CHARACTERS ARE DRIVING ME INSANE.

So, I'm sitting here, attempting to start this h50/Sherlock crossover fic, right?

While watching this horribly bad syfy movie, I might add. The one with the ghost town, and the ghost outlaws, and the kids? Yeah. It's awesomely bad.

Anyway. So. Yes. Writing.

I'm going 'okay. how to cross these two shows' and then y'know, thinking about Sherlock so far, which inevitably leads to Reichenbach, which inevitably leads to me going 'OHMYGOD JOHN WATSON YOU POOR CREATURE' and also 'SHERLOCK. ALL YER FEELINGS. THEY ARE SHOWING' as well as other, more embarrassing noises which I shall not name. And of course, thinking about that means I'm going 'I WANT A REUNION FIC. I WANT IT.'

So, inevitably, my brain is going 'YOU NEED TO MAKE THIS A REUNION FIC. WHERE JOHN IS IN HAWAII, STILL THINKING SHERLOCK IS DEAD, EXCEPT HE ISN'T, AND WO FAT IS SOMEHOW CONNECTED TO MORIARTY SO SHERLOCK IS IN HAWAII TOO, AND OF COURSE FIVE-0 IS TRYING TO TAKE WO FAT DOWN SO THAT LEADS TO THE INEVITABLE MEETING.' With other ideas. It's actually fairly complex plot in my head. and then.

I'm like. 'BUT WHY THE FUCK WOULD JOHN BE IN HAWAII, BRAIN?'

I haven't found an answer to that, yet. I DO NOT WANT TO BE DEFEATED BY THIS.

HELP?

My thought-because Hawaii is nothing like London, and John can't even stand to be in London anymore.

...This fic is going...to kill me. I'M ALREADY ALL TEARY-EYED AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED IT. BUT IT SHALL BE GLORIOUS.

And yes, I can see that. Maybe something of a holiday where he just needs to get away. I mean, all of London is riddled with memories, pretty much, so it'd hurt with all the memories all over the place.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS FIC. I GET THIS FIC, AND MY AUCTION FIC, AND I'M SICK AND THINKING OF THESE FICS IS MAKING ME FEEL BETTER AND LESS LIKE SUCK. YOU=AWESOME.

Exactly, maybe even therapist-recommended vacation?
