Auf dem Zaun

Dritte Antwort aufs Crossover-Meme.
Weitere Wünsche willkommen.
aislingde, Deins hab ich als erstes angefangen, jetzt muß ich... öhm... nur den Zettel mit dem Anfang wiederfinden und weiterschreiben. Daher dauert das so lange.

Fandoms: Doctor Who/ Life on Mars
Für: Nebel_kraehe
Charaktere: der zehnte Doctor & Sam Tyler
Anm.: Es ist ganz kurz geworden, obwohl's da natürlich noch sehr viel mehr Potential gab, aber irgendwie gefiel es mir so. Du kannst Dich bei mir beklagen, dann schreibe ich noch eine längere Szene. Oder Du wünschst Dir nochwas anderes und liest irgendwo im Netz ein X-Over dieser beiden Fandoms. :)

Occopied with being in love with fictional characters again instead of working on the fucking thesis. Yes, I know, you call that "procrastinating". I'm THE expert.
But. I just don't know where to start, and usually I just start somewhere and trust my inner sense of structure to bring me to the point. The fact that I have to present my working plan at the colloquium next Wednesday keeps me from getting into my own work rhythm. Or maybe that's just a pretext I use so I can worry about fictional problems of fictional characters instead of starting to solve my own (which try to convince me they're real, I'm not sure whether I should believe them). Most likely it's both: having to answer to other people really does get me off doing things I'd like to do if I'd be on my own with them, but I also tend to brood over perfect fictional love especially when I have a deadline to meet.

Last night after our d&d session (d&d, listen gals!) I couldn't sleep so I thought about the thesis and lots of other stuff, when suddenly my NaNo project's ghost cut in and played the next scene before my inner eye. I couldn't do anything but watch my story take a new direction quite different from the one I had planned (planned?? who are you kiddin', luv?). This one's much more close to making sense than the other one, though, and I'm going to follow it.
Sadly NaNo counts as procrastination, too. Yay dilemma.

Clue as to where to start working, anyone?

I'm not in the mood for working on my NaNo-project (although I'm several thousand words behind my schedule.) I am in the mood for watching Life on Mars and loving Sam Tyler to pieces. Because I'm boring: I like "good" characters. Good in a sense of morally aware; characters who think about the consequences of their actions and actually draw conclusions from the results of their considerations. And then act on them.
Modern drama-series tend to show every character as not "good" or "evil", but as ambivalent, which is great. But they seem to forget that ambivalent is not the same as having a VERY DARK AND TWISTED hidden personality part. Not everybody has a secret agenda. Some people really want to make the world a better place, and of course sometimes their view of "a better place" is a strange one, and they make mistakes, and fail, and learn that they're not always right. But still they're not mainly interested in power or money - they really want to change something.
I want to be one of these people, and I want to read about them and I want to see them on tv, so they can remind me of what I struggle for. But for some reason, I guess it's the tendency towards tragedy, in those modern series the characters who try to do the right thing according to their own morals have vanished or been forced to give up. Or that's what I thought.
And then there was Sam.

So, apart from that, I wanted to write a very long entry about my fandoms, current developments and weird theories, sadly it's already 17.16 and I haven't written a word for my NaNo... today was to be catching up day. :(
Thoughts about Heroes Season 2 (which I love, unlike most other fans), The Sarah Jane Adventures, the CIN Doctor Who Special, Classic Who,... will have to wait, I fear. *whines*

At least I found out that the six months I have for writing my thesis haven't started yet. The official countdown begins when all forms are at the Prüfungsamt and my subject and title are confirmed by Prüfungsausschuß. Now I can imagine to have time for fandom.
