executive dysfunction is legitimately physically uncomfortable. i’ll be trapped between two things, weirdly caught on how-much-time-it-might-take-me. i take hours worried im going to take hours doing things. i’ll sit on the floor for the entire day, caught up in the middle of not-doing the chores i actually do want to be doing.

& the amount of mental energy that goes into it. & the legitimate amount of anger and discomfort and self-hate. is not “being lazy”.  it’d be a lot less work if i didn’t have to fight myself to just get up and do it. 

i just need you to understand it’s not effortless. it’s never effortless. it’s not “okay let me just get up and finally start doing this.” it’s more like. i am slamming my foot on the pedal but the car is in neutral and nothing is moving. it’s more like shouting instructions into a dying telephone. it’s more like being trapped in a small electric box, and someone who hates me is administering shocks. 

im trying. im trying. please help me get up.

There should be a fanfic writing game called the showrunners challenge where someone writes a story and partway through someone else can play things like "actor leaves after 4000 more words" or "topic now too politically sensitive due to unforeseen world events" or "lost rights to that reference"

Enough people have said this that I'm musing on logistics, here's what I've come up with:

  • Blog where participants can submit their completed chapters, and then are randomly assigned a stipulation picked from a list compiled from spectator submissions
  • Synchronous event like kinktober: the stipulation is for everyone and there's a new one every set period of time (week? two weeks?)
  • Google doc compiled and then people challenge themselves by using a random number generator, on the honor system
  • Google doc compiled and people can do it with a buddy, who chooses the stipulations on purpose
  • All of the above at once

I like the idea of a Google doc you can use for the last two options, because then you could also make yourself a deck of cards from those to draw from if you wanted to play alone. You could also play it in a realtime chat -- have the "show runner" start with a pitch for a story, and say every (designated time period) they are given a new challenge to incorporate into the description of the story they would be telling. Winner is the person who finally makes them admit defeat, which they do by saying, "and then we do the clip show episode".

(for those raised in the Netflix era of two-season cancellations, a clip show is where the show has run for so long that they do an episode where the characters do nothing but reminisce, interspersed with clips from previous episodes, giving the crew a break from filming.)

I just need a scene where Fire Lord Zuko has been kidnapped and taken to sea. Katara shows up to save him and beats up the baddies, then walks slowly over to Zuko, leans down by his ear, and

Katara: don't worry

Zuko: stop

Katara: I'll rescue you from the pirates

Zuko: please leave me here to die
