I have scrapped 1500+ words of fic for 100quills and am starting over.
I just can't get it to work, it keeps moving off into weirder and weirded territory, which would probably be fine except there's no tension or suspense. Rar.
I'm wondering about trying some of the interesting narrative techniques that seem to work so well in fanfic, something that will allow me to do very brief scenes with alternating POV.
I could have chosen an easier rarepair, too.  :P Oh, well.

Back to the drawing board.
