Meeting with Writing Buddy went incredibly well tonight. I have much food for thought and an idea of what is making my vampires ill. I might even know how I'm going to fix it, but I need to do some research first. And maybe figure out more about my 'verse's vampire physiology, and what the nanotech stuff does to it.

Poor not!Harry. You know, if I'd just left him dead, this would be a lot easier on him...

Also, I need to give not!Tony something more to do than look through a microscope and go "huh" every once in awhile. Something a little more action-y. He's supposed to be the putative hero of this thing, and all he's done so far is get shot and make inappropriate remarks to his PA.

Timeline and plot outline so far. Those would be excellent to have. Really.

*waves to new people on my flist, points* That right there? Is mostly what this is these days. For those of you who just started playing, the project herein referred to as the "not!kkbb/im fic" began life as a Kiss Kiss Bang Bang/Iron Man crossover fanfic, until some kind soul at WorldCon, sympathizing with my frustration at being forced (once again) by my oh-so-fickle Muse to write fanfic, said "Why don't you turn it into original fiction? Don't you already have a universe you can drop those characters into?" And he was right, and so I did, and it's turned into...a novel.

Understand that I'm not a natural novel writer. I don't do "long" that often. But this thing just. Won't. End. Which is fine because I've still got 34,000 words to go before I'm happy with the word count. Anyway, I generally refer to my stories in code, and they all have their own pet names. Most of the times the characters actually get to keep their actual names, but in this case I refer to them as not!Whatever-character-they-were-in-the-movies because I'm strange. So, we have not!Tony, not!Pepper, not!Harry, not!Harmony, and not!Perry (who has turned into a woman played, in my head, by Camryn Manheim, because that's how I roll).

And now that you've had this little glimpse into my (very strange) head, I hope I haven't scared you away. ;)

Poor not!Harry. Yes, you do need to do something more with not!Tony but nothing says that just because you started out intending him to be the hero it has to stay that way. not!Harry has certainly been beat up more.

The stakes are definitely higher for not!Harry than they are for not!Tony. And since I'm still in first draft stage, I can afford to wait and see what the story wants to be. And if it wants to be about not!Harry, then...I guess I'll let it.

You know, if I'd left him dead, I wouldn't be having to worry about this so much--and now that I haven't left him dead, I'm not sure I can bring myself to kill him (again)...
