So, it was a little past midnight. I had gotten everything done, and was settling in for bed. Lights were off, and I was curled up under the covers, thinking about a story that
serria had written. (Lovely story. Halloween fic, too.) There was probably some of
edmondia 's Marrakesh floating around in there, too. At any rate, I was trying to go to bed.
At about fifteen, thirty after, the opening lines to a rather interesting story started running through my head. Now, I'm used to this, though it hasn't happened lately much, and keep a memo pad by my bed for such an occasion. So I sat up, turned on my reading lamp, and started writing.
I finished somewhere around one a.m.
It's a rather interesting fic - I'm not sure entirely what's up with it, aside from me getting the Death Note canon and my desire to have a certain rather dead character stay around ('cause it's more interesting that way) to work together. I think I found away around the lack of an afterlife in the DN universe, at least for the character concerned.
I also over-used dashes. I didn't change subjects as much as I usually do, but I had an idea of what I wanted to happen, so that helped. I did change tenses a few times, and didn't even notice. I don't usually do that, but I fixed them later so it doesn't matter much.
I'll probably type it later. It's kinda odd... Right. Friend is over and wants me to help her on Final Fantasy 6, so I'll probably type it tonight. *nods*

Talk to you later!
