Woah. Glad I checked my fest assignment email again.

WOWZA. I've been writing a fic in my head (for a month!) for a fest, and the pairing and scenario I've been working on is for a pairing totally not listed as a request by the recipient. How on earth could I have mis-read that so dramatically??! Well, huh. Now I have a fic I could write for no real reason (which isn't all bad), and I need to look at the real pairings requested and come up with something totally different. Which may not be a bad thing; I can go a less-angstier route.

Ooops.

I'm just baffled at myself because I could have sworn that this particular pairing I've been constructing in my head was one of her choices. But… totally no. And the concept for the story just won't work with the pairings she likes. At least I hadn't actually started writing yet! Now I can muse on a new type of story. Still.

Well, I would wish you luck, but you are so much better than me at this that I do not think you need it!

It is strange how one's mind can play trick though, isn't it? The reason I couldn't remember my prompt was because I frequently start stories or chapters with a quotation or a bit of verse, so it was essentially a no-prompt story for me, but more of a write-whatever-you-like story.
