Sep. 24th, 2007 01:59 pmYAY I HAVE MY NEW KEYBOARD.
It feels weird; it has that new-computer stiffness in the keys, but it's the same computer I've had for over a year and a half. I'll have the same thing going with the Mac when I get it back, I think, because she mentioned something about having the keyboard replaced, probably because half the letters were worn off the keys. (That's a grudging point I can award to the Compaq over the iBook - I used that keyboard for longer than I did the iBook's, and the letters stayed just as clear as they were on day one. I do like my computers to show signs of wear, the same way I like it when my paperback books lose the new-cover shine because I've read them so many times, but it's nice to be able to identify the keys, too.) But anyway. I can now type like a human. And I shall celebrate by posting the beginning of an unfinished fic.
This fic is a baseball fic, since fuck knows I haven't written anything else in years, and it is - gasp - an A's fic. I started it not too long after Piazza's injury; it's written from Kendall's perspective, and was originally intended to end with Piazza going on the DL, but as what came to be famously known (in my journal, anyway) as the Ongoing A's Catching Saga became, well, ongoing, I started to flounder. I don't want to give up on this fic, but I don't know where it's going. It was supposed to be about Kendall being totally fine with Piazza's presence, and nobody buying that for a second, but as things went on, it seemed like it needed to be about more, and that the logical stopping point was not the injury, but Kendall's trade. That, however, is way damn more expansive and plotty than I am used to writing, so not only am I unsure of where it's going, I don't know how to get it there if I ever figure it out. At this point, I'm not even entirely convinced that it should be from Kendall's perspective, or at least not exclusively so. I don't know. So go ahead and take a look, and I can't promise anything further, but any advice or suggestions you have would be hugely appreciated.
