Nosy-verse?

[badly_knitted]

So, is anyone out there still interested in more Nosy-Verse fic?

I'm trying to get back to writing, but I could really use a bit of encouragement and cheerleading to help me get motivated and keep writing. It's been over 8 months and I'm out of the groove. I need help getting back into it!

Heck, yes! I want Nosy-fic! I miss Nosy and really want to see it back. We really need some fluffy stories to counteract the downer that is Miracle Day.

*gets out the cheerleader outfit and pompoms*

Thanks!

I'll admit I'm struggling - I've re-written a few bits today, but I keep running into brick walls. Writing about shopping is possibly not the most exciting thing and although I have over 4000 words, Nosy doesn't even appear. I might need to put in a couple of 'Meanwhile, back at the Hub' type scenes just so there is some actual Nosy.

Nosy is talked about, but...

I'm feeling insecure and unsure of my writing after so long. *sigh*

[milady_dragon]

We all go through that. Don't worry, it'll come to you. I bet whatever you have, even if it doesn't have Nosy in it per se, I bet it would be fun anyway. :)

[badly_knitted]

I hope so! There are some bits I think are quite funny, but I'm probably not the best judge of my own writing!

I'm trying to figure out where I can stick a 'back at the Hub' scene without looking like it's been shoehorned in. Think I'm aboiut ready to pack it in for the night and try again fresh tomorrow.

Oh, yes please. I think it's a lovly Verse. It counter balances all the heavy stuff out there. Just try to put stuff down, it'll come. I hadn't written a word in 25 years when I started writting back in March and now I do it all the time. GO Nosy!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks for the encouragement!

The problem is less with writing (I have plenty of ideas for later fics) and more with finishing this particular fic. I need to get through this one before I get to the others and if I write the others first, I'll never get back to this one. It's important, but it's mostly about shopping for toys for Nosy. Have you any idea how difficult it is to find suitable toys for something that doesn't have arms or even legs?

I'd love more Nosy... doesn't Nosy need to meet Dusty one day? Talk about a weird Crossover Fic... crossing two fanfiction stories!

[badly_knitted]

Nosy really should meet Dusty - I have no idea how that would work out though, they seem to be in two different universes!

I'm trying very hard to write, but it's a bit of a struggle - I am getting more ideas for future Nosy fic though. If I can just get through this one, things might get a bit easier!

[bethmccombs]

Yup - Nosy needs to meet the Dust-Bunny... and it's Torchwood. I'm certain that there's a little 'universe slip' there somewhere.

There's always one story that becomes a right-royal-bitch to write. *hug* You can do it!

[badly_knitted]

Thanks for the cheerleading!

Ridiculously, I think I've got most of the shopping part down, but I wanted to write a bit with Nosy back at the Hub and THAT'S what's giving me problems. Nosy is usually the easiest thing in the world to write, but now it's bored and I don't know how Tosh can entertain it until the boys get back. It's ridiculously frustrating.

[bethmccombs]

Welcome!

I would think a bored Nosy would be like a bored kitten... getting into everything it shouldn't. ;)

[badly_knitted]

I would have thought that too, but it's not. In my head, it's slumped in a heap, looking fed up. Tosh needs to do something about it, but what is there in the Hub that would be entertaining for it? So far, I'm drawing a blank. When everyone else was there, Nosy had lots of people to play with and it was fine, but now... I think Tosh needs to learn to play. She works too hard.

[bethmccombs]

Yeah.... that's a really bored and frustrated pet. Tosh does indeed work to hard. She's probably wondering why she's feeling stared at!

[badly_knitted]

Tosh is a bad girl. With everyone else out, Nosy was her responsibility but she just forgot about it =(

[bethmccombs]

OOOOOhhhhh.... bad Tosh!

[badly_knitted]

I know! It's shocking! O_O

I've just got to keep wrestling with this in my head until I come up with some ideas, there has to be SOMETHING lying around the Hub that could be used as a temporary toy...

Maybe if I just let things simmer in my brain while I do other things, I'll come up with a workable idea. It's just... I've been thinking since last night and I haven't thought of anything yet. *bangs head repeatedly on table* Come on, stupid brain, WORK!

[bethmccombs]

Indeed!

And I'm certain there is... lots of cords and things to mess in. Whatever Owen may have left laying about. 'Tad's' Coffee Machine. ;)

Aye, that's what I'm always told to do - let it sit while you work on something else... I have one problem with that... my brain never gets anything! *sob!*

[badly_knitted]

I feel you pain! Brains can be supremely unhelpful, but where would we be without them?

I just wrote my first comment fic to a prompt on LJs tw_classic community - it features Nosy in a very brief appearance ;)

I feel pleased because I have actually written something! I might post it here later.

The prompts are in honour of Ianto's birthday, but only a couple have been filled, which is a shame. There are still several good prompts, but I can't think of anything for them.
