So I was working on an original story until the concussion brought progress to something of a screeching halt.
Tooling around with writing became one of my rehab exercises but the totality of the story was still difficult, especially because I was blocked at the new point (I need to change some of the leadup to fix it).
What I ended up doing for a while was writing a crossover fanfic with my own original fiction and Stargate Atlantis, because it entertained me.
I have no intention of ever showing this to anyone other than ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) velithya and maybe one other person.
Which in its way is freeing already because so long as this is entertaining me all good.
The thing is, because a lot of it was from the point of view of Atlantis characters, it was functionally Outsider Point Of View on my characters, and then my world, and it did an amazing amount of good for my sense of the world. I really solidified a lot of stuff in the course of writing about it that way.
Which makes it a lot easier to write about from the inside in turn, even though the SGA crossover was set like thirty years later.
For original fiction in a novel setting I really recommend writing some throwaway bullshit secondary story in which someone has to have all of it explained to them.

sooooooo I do not remember why I am here? I had this open in a tab and I was going through my tabs tonight to close them and was like... wait, is this ~my~ Sami? Or like... why was I looking at this journal? And then you mentioned V and I was like, holy shit, it is my Sami!
So now I'm here, and I read this, and I sure as hell hope I am that "one other person" because OH MY GOD.
Also, shit, should mention here that this is kisahawklin. I've just been on the site long enough to have kate as a username and look all cool and shit, lol.
So. HI. WHEN DO I GET TO SEE THIS CROSSOVER HUH.
ETA: and I just went to like, add you to my circle and things, which I HAD ALREADY DONE AT SOME POINT despite not remembering this even a little bit, wtf, and just. This is a comedy of errors now. /o\
