I have jotted out a short fic involving Baby Face and his gang. This one was not mentioned among my plunnie ideas and I'm a bit nervous about its acceptance in the The Monkees fandom at large, due more to the plot rather than the focus being on Baby Face. I think it came out really well, though. Now I'm just trying to figure out what to do with it and where to put it. I still don't know how to access my old Angelfire sites.
I have to admit, I had a bit of a struggle with what the ending lines should be, or rather, how they should be presented. I really felt that a very mild swear word would have more fully presented the despair and discouragement of the scene. But I long ago vowed never to have swear words in my stories. And I don't want to start, because then it could become easier to do it in future stories. As it stands now, Baby Face does swear, but you do not see what he said, which is usual when I'm writing for a character who either does swear or else probably would even if canonically it's never shown.
And I wish Antenna TV would add Circus Boy to their lineup. They should have access to it; it looks like Columbia/Screen Gems have the rights.
