I was trying to write this The Vampire Diaries fic for Yuletide's New Year Resolutions 2010 thingy that I had started last year (I have always wanted to participate in yuletide, but it's kinda intimidating and the NYR seem more flexible because they happen year-round and not just in the holiday season and you're not responsible for giving someone a fic which is what gives me the most anxiety because I do not trust that my muse will be there when the time comes to write someone a gift) but I just don't think the way I'm writing it now is going to work (not that I have a lot written). It's a threesome fic with Katherine/Damon/Stefan and while usually threesomes squick me the hell out, this would be the only instance where I gladly welcome the threesome-ness - because it works, somehow, in my demented brain. Except this was before we knew more about Katherine and what happened before Stefan and Damon and the show decidedly did not display a threesome relationship between the characters - which is one of the reasons I'm thinking it won't work in terms of canon. (The other reason being that I can't at all write Katherine. She's just too much of an evil, manipulative character for me to get a handle on. I also have no idea why I originally thought the relationship between Katherine, Damon, and Stefan was canonically a threesome one. Maybe if this wasn't a high school show...But probably not.)
In the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter as this particular prompt has already been answered so my own fic would have to just be a TVD fic for regular occasion. But, man, is it frustrating because I think I'm gonna have to scrape the story because nothing's coming or going! And I don't think it's my inherent dislike for threesome fic either that's roadblocking me because - as I've mentioned previously - I'm totally on the bandwagon in this fandom for the threesome (and even a Stefan/Elena/Damon threesome in present day) because it could totally fix everything and actually be kinda romantic - in a demented sort of way because, yeah, they're still vampires so there's a degree of demented-ness guaranteed.
Because I love Stefan/Damon together but I also love Stefan/Elena together and have been warming up to Damon/Elena so really a threesome is the only solution. (I don't like Katherine at all but that's best left alone. I did ship her with Damon once upon a time, gladly, but that's when I thought Damon was irredeemable so he and Katherine fit together well like the two "evil" characters they were, but that's not the case as of the season finale.)
Of course, it could all be chalked up to: the muse is fickle.
I don't care either way, if the story works out or not, because I didn't have a definitive plan going into the writing. If I think up something, I'll continue it but I don't think it's worth my energy writing about a character I don't really understand or like (I mean Katherine, because the piece is largely about her while Damon & Stefan are just the background characters).
Meh.
