Writer's Block: I wanna be just like you

Yes, Miranda from Mysterious Ways, played by Alisen Down. http://media.battlestarwiki.org/images/thumb/e/e9/Alisenpromo.jpg/200px-Alisenpromo.jpg I adored her aloof, serious, matter-of-fact personality, and the moments where she would let some of her mask slip and be a bit mischievous. It was because of her and her love of black clothes that I decided I wanted to wear black, too. I've never regretted it; black looks good with my complexion. And my skin is so naturally pale that it only adds to kind of a gothic look.
I've been revising my entire Return of Baby Face Morales fic, which is something I've wanted to do for years. I've changed the entire flow of narration so it's not so detached and summarizing, and I've added scenes in place of most of the extended paragraphs with summarized action. I'm pleased with how it's come out. I'll start posting the new version to the Dreamworld group, as well as uploading to the fic journal and linking it up with the Monkees website.
I looked through old messages at Dreamworld to see where I made the breaks between segments, as I figured I'd need to make the same breaks now. That was a burst of nostalgia. Some of the people commenting then are still around now.
I remember I never really wanted to get into Baby Face and Tony warring with each other when I wrote the fic, but I figured it was something I would have to explore since it's canon in the episode that Tony tried to gun down who he thought was Baby Face. Reading over them plotting to kill each other definitely made me a bit uncomfortable. Writing for criminals doing criminal acts isn't really my thing, so it always surprised me that I wanted to write about those characters.
Next project: apply the same revisioning to the sequel. I've already done it with the currently existing chapters of This Just Doesn't Seem to Be Our Day, although I haven't put the new versions up because I wanted to go in chronological order with these fics.
One thing I mused on recently: Tony definitely has a better command of the English language than Baby Face. He may drop his H's occasionally ("Take 'im"/"tail 'im"), but overall he seems to use correct grammar. Baby Face doesn't care if he uses the wrong grammar ("You can't, uh, expect no miracles"). I attribute that probably to their different upbringings. Although for my canon, Baby Face's mentor probably used the right grammar, but by then it was too ingrained in Baby Face to speak other than he already did.
