Blood Ties; writer's block; fight w/bf
Apr. 30th, 2007 12:30 pmWell, as lame as it may be, I've started watching Blood Ties. I never thought I'd watch anything on Lifetime "television for women" but it's about an ex-cop female P.I. who's friends with a 480 yr old forever-young vampire hottie (who ever thought that this particular type of vampire-human relationship would become a cliche? And yet it is.) She's got unresolved feelings for her male ex-partner who's now a detective, as well as for the vamp. So, M-F-M love triangle possibilities (and 3some fanfic possibilities, I suppose). It's extremely cheesy, not nearly as well-written as BTVS or Angel. I'm afraid Blood Ties fanfic would be better written than the show. I prefer things the other way around -- a show so well-written, the fanfic has to strive to reach that level of quality. But oh well. At least Blood Ties is shot in Toronto with a bunch of Canadian actors. And I like Christina Cox.
I'm stuck in my Joe Dick/Jerry Bines story. Worked on it this past weekend, but I'm stuck how to get them together. Joe's motivation is no problem, but why would Bines let Joe? In the FTWHTWD novel, Bines nearly killed a guy (or maybe did kill him) for trying to rape him in prison. Dunno how faithful I should be to that -- it's not in the FTWHTWD movie with CKR. Maybe I could write it so Jerry had one long-term m/m relationship in prison, instead of raped or being raped. I sure can't see him being passed around as one of the prison bitches -- not Bines. In the novel & movie, too many people are afraid of him and he's feared as a killer. Maybe Bines got into guys from something like the "families" in the prison rape documentary Turned Out. 'Cept if Bines were in a "family", I can only picture him as the head of the family, not one of the harem seeking protection. I can see him as a benign head of family. Maybe he'd only make a guy suck his cock once, then not fuck the guy unless the guy wanted to. Except how would I explain all that back story, when Bines is so non-talkative, and the story is from Joe's POV? Maybe he tells Joe about it when they get it on.
( boring complaints about my bf )
Oh, and one of my nursing instructors helped me revise my resume. And told me that my HESI score virtually guarantees I'll pass the NCLEX-RN on the first try. Yay.
