Do you have any bulletproof plot kinks? Can you write them or do you find it difficult to get the right distance from the story to do that?

I don't know about bulletproof plot kinks-- Whatever a story's about, bad writing can knock me out of it. But I do tolerate more for certain types of stories. I really like time travel stories, particularly fix its. I've never finished one, but I have started one. I don't know exactly where I'm going with it, however, and I don't know when I'll get back to it. I also like power imbalances in relationships, at least sometimes (I'm not big on teacher/student, mentor/protege, etc.), and I do write that frequently.

I wrote two stories over the weekend, and they are edited and posted, and I am officially caught up on the challenges that were owed stories. Now all that's left are my poor neglected WIPs, each of which are in dire need of a new chapter. The stories just finished have me in a particular frame of mind, so the easiest thing would be to keep on with those characters, so I think my plan for a WIP chapter is set. I'm hoping to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, and see how much more writing I can get done today.

I have a tendency to read a story if it a canon gapfiller, and that's what I like to write, too!

I've neglected my projects the past week, but I finally got back to sorting out the discrepancies in my novel outline today. (It's still not exactly coherent, but I try.)
