selenakWhen I got my assignment from ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
ssrconfidential, the Agent Carter ficathon, I thought, no problem, I can do that. Except the AC idea that's been plagueing me for a while is quite dark and angsty, and my recepient asked for shenanigans, which means it would be bad manners to dump my unasked-for dark fic on them. Fine, thought I, they'll get something light, and I'll write the dark story as a treat and gift it to someone else.
Except then a suitable shenanigans inviting, light hearted idea refused to present itself. Comedy being harder than tragedy in 99% of the cases, etc. Until today! Inspiration struck, and now I have a genius idea for exactly these characters, and it will be fun and amusing (I hope), and... hang on. Surely someone has thought of this before? I mean, it's so obvious, once you think about it?
*eyes Agent Carter section carefully, tries out relevant tags*
...No, it doesn't look like someone has. Hooray! Except: if I write this idea, I need an actual plot. Even/especially if it's an absurd one. And I might have to refresh my memory on spoilery stuff.
...I really can't write in this fandom without the urge to do research, it seems. Last year it was German scientists, and the year before that Hungarians in Hollywood. Ah well. But those were more or less character centric mood pieces, not case fic.
Conclusion: shenanigans are work!
Also, whom do I bother with my additional dark fic, should I find the time to write it at all? Potential victims, beware...
