Ten years ago, I wrote about George the Turtle on our honeymoon. I sometimes go back and read those stories and they still never fail to make me happy and excited. I don't know what possessed me to write about a monster turtle (tortoise really) but I'm glad I did.
Today I am off in Hawaii for my anniversary. We have a nice airbnb next to the ocean. The plan was to swim but with two nearby hurricanes the surf isn't going to be safe. My husband suggested I bring along my computer and write fanfic while he illustrates my children's story. He's been helping me think of how I can write George and the sga team in the future. Have I mentioned how amazing my husband is?
I haven't written much but I long to find the right story. So far I've decided it is from Jeannie's perspective about how the team has changed after many years. Usually my George stories start to form slowly but then take off quickly once I find the right voice. I just need to figure out what to incorporate. I'm very much hoping I can pull this off.
On another note: I read a Musketeer fanfiction that was amazing and well researched. It may be the first fanfic I've ever read that lists about ten to fifteen first source references at the end of the fic in a bibliography. The author traced tetanus writings from throughout the centuries so they could create a vivid, real picture of how tetanus would affect a person in the 17th century and what options the people would use to treat the affliction with.
In short, this fanfic was completely awesome and makes me want to do similar type research for another fic.
