Quick question
Aug. 26th, 2019 03:46 pmI seem to have written a ficlet, which is with a friend for beta purposes. I haven't written for a long time, and haven't written in B7 since I was in my teens/early twenties, so am a little nervous - and also very, very surprised!! Not sure where the plot bunny came from, but hey, it arrived suddenly and unexpectedly last night, so what could I do but obey it?
Anyway, I have someone talking about pain meds. Only, I'm not sure if that's the correct term? It's common amongst other fandoms, but not sure about in the B7 one. I'm probably just being neurotic, but somehow it didn't sound quite right. It's Vila talking, if that helps any.
The ficlet is in 1st person, which isn't my preferred writing style (though reading, I'm happy with 1st or 3rd person). It's also PGP, and I never expected to write PGP, ever! Or deal with character deaths (I prefer to live in the 'they all survived' world in my head, though I enjoy fics that aren't so happy ending). And no Gan, of course! But plot bunnies, what can you do with them? They make you write things you didn't think you'd ever write! :)
EDIT: Re the query, I think I'm overthinking things. I'll just say 'pain medication' and leave it at that. Sorry. Had a bit of a wobble due to nerves!!
