...when you have to rip out the head and spinal cord of a story because you thought it would work in Jack's POV, but the story refuses to move forward unless the entire beginning is in Daniel's. And you liked that beginning. It was snarky.

( Anyway, this is the text which will NOT be starting off The Mansions Of The Dead, the intro/final installment in the Bead Sutra series. No spoilers, other than what planet they're on and the fact that something is about to happen. )

Do you ever have one of those days where you're up way too late and you're looking through all your incomplete fics and you come across one where you have no idea when you started it, where you were going with it, or why you thought it was a good idea? But it has a helpful summary at the top, something like

(That one where Sam goes missing for a while and comes back with no memory of where she's been, but with a few new nervous tics, a preoccupied air, and a strange compulsion to build an alien clock.)

?

I mean, this happens to you guys all the time, right? Just part of the package of being a distractable sort of being and also a fic writer? Y'all should share your stories with me here. Or something.

Other things I've found in my poking around because I'm all alone in the house/on the internet and for some reason not tired at all:

Jack's mission report for P2M-477 was subtitled Everything I Know About Foreign Policy I Learned From Watching You Idiots Screw It Up, but it was subtitled in very small, white text that didn't print out.

( Several more. )

I feel like this is sorta the fanfiction equivalent of Texts From Last Night. Fanfictions From Previous Days? Yeah.

Series: Bead Sutra
Rating: "T".
Genre: Quiet angst, character study
Beta: The letter Beta was derived from the Phonecian letter Beth. This is the sort of thing you learn when you hang out with Daniel.
Continuity: Missing scenes and episode tags, canon-friendly.
Prerequisites: Seasons five through seven.

Summary: "A Sutra is an aphorism (or line, rule, formula) or a collection of such aphorisms in the form of a manual. Literally it means a thread or line that holds things together..." [wikipedia]

In S6, starting in Sight Unseen (just after Unnatural Selection), a string of beads appeared on Jack's wrist. They were last seen in Full Circle, and by Fallen they were nowhere to be found. This series follows them, from incidence through departure, with a couple other stops as a bonus.

...it also serves as missing scenes and/or tags for a number of episodes, but really, it's all about the beads. </deadpan>
