B. Of the stories that have come solely from my own brain (I did outline some of Heaven and Earth, but as that came from Moss' brain it doesn't count), the one that I made a complete outline for is the one I never wrote (which really sucks, because it would have been cool and fairly original but now it has gone away). That was a few years ago, and I pretty much learned my lesson then. Sometimes I'll do a quick timeline of events after I've started writing (especially if I think that some of the events will be offscreen), or every now and then if a story element doesn't make sense I'll get it out of my brain and onto paper just so I can look at it more objectively.
R. I rarely talk about anything I'm writing in detail, but I do like to tell people that I'm writing something, and the basic premise thereof. This is mostly because having other people know about a project tends to summon a shoulder angel (or devil, whatever) that tells me to open Word and see if I can't tap out at least another sentence or two, even if the plot bunny is hiding under the bed.
A. Holy shit!
I. Slash does tend to sneak up on one, doesn't it? I keep having to fend off Jack/Daniel bunnies in H&E (which is basically gen). Although... Three different slash pairings by accident? May ask whom you are slashing?
N. I don't have anything to say about the HP kerfuffle (which I am avoiding), I just want to be able to spell out "brains."
S. Because Keanu is pretty and (I'm so going to get tarred and feathered for this) a decent actor and you were hoping that this would be Decent-to-Good Movie #6.66? Hmm... if my math is accurate, maybe he isn't going to make another good movie, due to the fear that it will summon the apocalypse. From everything I've heard (I definitely won't see it until it's out on DVD) the Lake House would have been good if Ang Lee & James Schamus had gotten their hands on it, but as it is... Yeah, kind of stupid.
