LJ Idol Presents:

actual fun: story-brainstorming emails with one of my friends (my story is fanfic, hers is original) that involve a lot of "well, i hadn't thought of that but now i'm going to have to use it" (from me) and "i have no idea who that is" (from her) and "dammit, research" (from me) and "there's no story here" (from her), and this morning i got an email in which she FIGURED IT OUT. which is very exciting.

(i'm also working on my lj idol entry, which is fun too but a little more solitary.)
