Day #4

It appears I'm writing a Criminal Minds/Numb3rs EPIC crossover. What is it with crossovers that makes them be so long, anyway? I've got some vague ideas bumping around in my head, but the story keeps trying to be in Charlie's POV, which would be fine if I actually knew the character. I'm not really more than a casual viewer of Numb3rs, and I've watched episodes from random seasons in a random order. Added to the fact that Five are always reapeating the same episode when I tune in (how do they know?), this could prove tricky.

So can anyone recommend "must see this" episodes for Charlie characterisation? I can hear his voice, I just don't know what to have him say, if that makes any kind of sense.

Anyway, enough of my blithering.

*glares* Why haven't more of you been over to the gen battle and written comment-fic? Or the fluff battle? Come on, folks. 4300 characters really isn't that many!

Today, I am awesome because I stayed awake through a whole course about serials AND I finally got a battery fitted to my watch, which has been dead for about 2 years. I've also managed to cross off a heathy chunk of stuff from my list, although I'm procrastinating terribly about the rest.

There's always tomorrow - I don't want to use up all my awesome all at once ;)

What about you guys? I've been very low-key-awesome today. Anyone done anything more exciting?

What is it with crossovers that makes them be so long, anyway? It's the number of universes shouting at you. *g*

Crossing things off your list is well awesome, never mind the other stuff.

Today I am awesome because I finally posted the WIP that grew from a comment fic to almost 17k words. Does that count as Epic? It's one of them there long crossover beasties anyway, even if it does only cover a period of hours.

I think 17k definitely counts as Epic AND Awesome :D Crossovers are always about 3 times the length you originally intend - the characters seem to get chatty!

I wanted to congratulate you for finishing that, too! I felt weird because I hadn't been reading due to not knowing the fandom, but I applaud your accomplishment!

Thanks!

If you are curious, I wouldn't worry too much about knowing Highlander or not as the Highlander universe only provides a backdrop to the fics. Just avoid the first one in the Torchwood list here (http://aeron-lanart.livejournal.com/20755.html) as that's the one with all the hand-wavy, plotty highlander stuff; everything else is pretty much character driven and based around Torchwood.
