hiddencaitOK kiddies, thought I'd give yall an update on the Het_BigBang madness! I know I've been a bit distracted by Primeval pretties, but for the rest of the weekend, I intend to focus on Ripley/Hicks absolutely as much as possible.
First up, I have some awesome news, at least in my opinion: I ACTUALLY HAVE A TITLE!!!!!!!!! Gah took me long enough didn't it?
Title: From the Last to the First
Yes, it's borrowed from what has apparently become the story's rough theme song: 30 Seconds to Mars "This is War." Trust me it's about as perfect as it could be, right down to a line that just flat spells out all four of our survivors: "To the solider, the civilian, the martyr, the victim... this is war."
Seriously it's awesome. Still don't believe me? Here, just listen: Here's hoping I can manage to properly embed the video!! (oh and enjoy the bonus of Jared Leto in soldier garb. Well worth it me thinks!)
Anyway, so yeah, I can has theme song and everything, however, I apparently have no momentum when it comes to actually WRITING for some reason. I was even up and all gung ho this morning, but nothing is being accomplished.
Usually when that happens I can pop in the movie again or go look for fics to reward myself with for making progress, but I've watching the movie half a dozen times now and the collection on FFN is mostly littered with Alien or Predator by OC Mary Sue beastiality fics and very VERY little actual Ripley/Hicks stuff.
So do you think any of you could help me out with some inspiration? I'm talking icons, pics, even little baby drabbles on the subject. Just anything that might make my muse go YAY!!
Seriously guys, I will love you forever!

Oh oh oh oh oh!!!!! It was you! You I had to tell!!!
They are doing an Aliens prequel called Prometheus which is scheduled to hit theaters next year, and your favorite Fassbender is in it!!!

Date: 2011-08-06 04:15 pm (UTC)I've been jumping around with my fic today, too. I've been given some really good feedback from a beta, so I'm trying to figure out where to put her ideas. I think I need to just push on and WRITE. Other stuff can be added later.

Date: 2011-08-06 04:21 pm (UTC)And yeah, I just wanted to push past whatever my block was and get something down on paper for the time being. I rarely skip around like this, but sometimes it's apparenlty necessary. And I do have a beta (if she ever gets around to watching it *headdesk* lol) so she'll be on the look out for if my jumping around screws up the overall flow or whatever.
...I'm fairly certain this may break 25k by the time I'm finished though. We'll see I suppose.
