burntcopperAnd as ever, the WIPs that had a proper concept and plot and so on take ages to write (Gosford Park elegant erotica took nearly two years, people), and the sillyfics take a week or less to write. These are, of course, the ones with the immense amounts of feedback. I need to show the plotbunnies the error of their ways. Seriously, the genesis of Career Highlights happened on a phonecall to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wiccachik whilst walking back from work and giggling over the concept that if M gets pissed off with Bond sleeping with her staff, what about Jack Harkness? And then mingmerciless gave me a list of possible agencies. And no, munchkinott, it was determined that Jack just wouldn't work very well in CI5. I tried. Cowley glared at me.
Faintly worried that I'm getting compliments on perfect channelling of Sir Humphrey. ...I haven't watched that show since I was a kid. Do I have an inner supercilious civil servant? Or should I just revel in the fact that I can project perfect self-assured snobbery?
:scratches head: Maybe it's the ones with a very definite structure and rock-solid parameters that're fast to write - the ouroborous one, Jack Harkness not in fact missing two years' memory but stuck in a time loop was bloody quick. All I had to decide on were a few details - I *had* to have particular scenes, and the 'commentary' bits slotted in almost as soon as the fic started, and the nearly-last bit *had* to be him getting thrown into the time-loop again. (oh, and the ouroborous theory still hasn't been Russelled yet. na-na-na-na-na. :g:)

I think the Sir Guy muse doesn't know what 'PWP' means. *bangs head on desk*
I like silliness. Not so much from the they-can-be-belted-out-in-an-hour/day/week POV but from the perspective that they rip out like a ride. You don't have to look too hard where you're going or have to backtrack just in case you've used a sentence that lets the plot unravel ahead of time.
Shame about Cowley. I bet he was more worried about explaining to the Home Secretary why it took two agents to de-grenade every bra in the NHS while the nurses were wearing 'em.
