I need help in deciding whether or not to go ahead with a fan fiction:

Please tell me what you think.

Pairing: House/Cameron

little bit of angst - little romance - little terror

Summary: A stalker appears at the hosptial in the form of a clinic patient. House tries to brush it off, but it soon turns critical for House and his ducklings.

What do you think?

I've had the idea floating around for a while as a caviat to get House to open up.

Please give me feedback!!!!! :wacko: :ph43r:

truthfully? my first reaction was oh, no, not another stalker -- it sounds kind of Lifetime.

I'd say go ahead and write it out. Even if you don't like what you end up with, at least you've gotten some practice dealing with the characters and plot and all that, and you'd be that much more prepared when the next plot bunny hits. :)

Oh I agree with sy, write it. It'll drive you nuts until you do! If nothing else it'll clear your head for new ideas and provide good practice.

I run with some ideas that never see anything but the dark little room on my computer called the recycle bin but sometimes I get a scene or a line from those that I can use elsewhere or build into something. Plus as you're writing it may take off in a completetly different direction and become somthing more than you expected.

Here here! I'm with sy. Go for it! To be hopelessly trite, practice makes perfect.... :)

Thanks for the encouragement - I did start writing some scenes and they aren't bad. I've decided to make some changes in the origonal idea. Not using the stalker angle as much as I first thought. Who knows - maybe I'll change it yet again.

That's great! I am eargerly awaiting your first fic post. It's always nice to hear that someone else is starting a writing project.

I've said that this is what I find most interesting about FanFic; Everyone has at least a little different take or insight into the characters that I might not have ever considered. We all watch the same show yet each of us takes away a little something different each week. FanFic reflects that and I love taking a slight step to the left or right and looking at a character at a slightly different angle than I had previously considered them.

As far as things changing in your plotline, Chapter 5 of Tuition started out as just a way for House to get out of the office and for me to kind explore what he does as he wanders the halls. It just didn't want to go in that direction so I let it go where it lead me and it became something completely different.

A similar experience with Chapter 7, I kept trying to force it into being what it didn't want to be. I finally relented and let it go and it was far better than what I had been trying to force.

I'm a firm believer in going with what's flowing. It might be crap but then again it might just be the best idea you've had. And again if nothing else you might be able to salvage lines or scenes to use else where. I'm not a writer so this may not be kosher and may not work for you but it works for me. I thought it might be encouraging if you get hung up.

Ditto on the above -- write it! THEN decide what to do with it...

Practice makes perfect, get it out of your system, see if it goes off on a totally different tangent, see what you can use elsewhere... and so forth and so on.

Let us know how it goes! :)
