Brokeback Mountain and orphan titles

[minxy]

Ang Lee and Brokeback Mountain have won the Venice Film Festival. *sigh* Come December, we will all know why, I hope, if they release the movie as widely as the ought to do. Ang Lee takes top prize at Venice Yay!

In other news, with a punk computer and a title-less story, I've been word-watching lately. What follows is a list of cool sounding titles for sale. The challenge is to use one of them to write an SG-1 or so-hot-Minx-won't-notice-it's-not-SG-1 fanfic, manip, drabble or whatever. If the plot bunny hijacks the story, and the title no longer fits, but it started there and maybe you can work it into some dialog or something in the middle, so be it. It's about the inspiration, tell me about it anyway, kay?

-Long Way Back
-Angel, Falling
-The Careful Skill of Quiet Thrills
-Stop/Pivot
-Maybe Love
-In Anticipation Of A New Lover's Introduction
-Things Remembered When Dreaming
-Waking Light
-Someones Lover
-You Broke Me

And, I'm quite serious. New computer won't arrive for a week and a half, MINIMUM, so I shan't be writing, and I shall only limpingly be reading, so surprise me when I get back and I'll be your best friend. *hugs*

And what is wrong with writing the old-fashioned way? Hmmm? Old pencil (or pen) and paper? I've been doing that the past week, trying to flesh out some story details for my graphic novels. Oddly, when I pick up one to work on, I get ideas for the other. It gets confusing. :p

Hmmmm... you been reading any Iain M. Banks? It's just that some of those titles sound like the names of the Minds that populate his 'Culture' novels.

If you've seen any 'Andromeda' - the Minds are AI on waaaaay too much caffine!! Think of the 'Wrath of Achilles' being more CJ than Teal'c and you have a Mind.
Highly recommended author. 'Excession' is v.good.

As for the story ideas - I shall keep them in mind. Currently the muse is... frak only knows where - he and I are having a MAJOR crisis in confidence (I think I've been due one for about a month... so it's no real surprise) over our ability to write anything.
It's not a plea for ego stroking... just that I don't know what I'm looking for... don't mind me;)

mmm fun challenge..
