The FLOGGINGS will continue until Morale Improves

I have this sticker hanging just behind my computer right now. I bought this on Martha's Vineyard, during Viable Paradise, which was terribly a'propos.
I've taken it for my inspirational theme this NaNo, too.
Feelin' it today, since I wrote till I went to sleep last night, which is not a great way to get refreshed.
I woke up this morning dreaming a different story I've had in the background for a while, which involves a re-envisioned Batman and a girl doing a Catwoman act to get his attention.

12322 words
as of this morning.
Which. Is over half-way to the minimum word-count for this novel. Not too bad! So *Silas Escapes* is at 50%. No wonder I've been feeling like tying things up...

I want to reintroduce Alan. (Alan Birch, he's our man!)
I do believe this would take jury-rigging.
But it would make the following scenes move so much more quickly...! I guess I'll have to settled for Grannie the Hooligan.



For a series of haiku about a spider, starting with:

The spider hung loose
arms out, embracing the world
swinging in breeze-time

I think that Batman bit would be rightly termed fan-fiction. (Said the girl who's writing a thinly-veiled, but terrifically screwed-up retelling of Beauty and the Beast.)

:P

I LOVE doing and reading retellings.

It's going to be a bit of a "veiled" retelling--not strictly fan-fiction. Just because I think what I do along those lines has never looked quite like the fan-fiction I'm aware of.

Maybe I'm delusional.

But if it's only along the idea of a Batman, and the character is a very different person, who does not call himself Bat-anything, and indeed isn't even modelled after a bat in anyway, and the Catwoman is not a Cat but just that sort of provocateur, does it count as active fic-ing?
