Woo-hoo! Broke the 10,000 word mark on my big bang fic!
Not that that means a lot, since I have no real idea how long it's going to be. Over 40,000 words by quite a bit, though, since we're really not very far into the plot.
I'd love to post a scan of my current plot outline, which I ended up writing on the train home earlier in the week: it's all scribbles and arrows and question marks and couldn't look less like a plan if it tried. It started with trying to figure out what I wanted to do when it came to writing the episodes that happened, and then I had one of those lightbulb moments and wrote a plot for the whole thing. Well, kind of - it still has things in it like 'need to have met Larrin by this point' and 'Lorne and Mitchell on Atlantis', but it's as close to a plot outline as I'm likely to get.
Though, here's one to ponder: Lorne and Larrin, when she picks up the jumper, rather than John and Larrin. Pissed off and kind of guilty post-Tabula Rasa Lorne. How would that go?
Also, I need to stop giving things stand-in names, cos they tend to stick. Which is the only possible explanation why the mission to rescue Elizabeth is called Operation Yet-To-Be-Determined. Which really can't stick, but which I can't get out of my head in order to come up with something that can.

Lorne would probably be a lot more pragmatic and less Ransom of Red Chief about being kidnapped, but I don't think he has Sheppard's technical expertise and facility with using the ATA gene. Might have to be rescued.

That was my theory in the end as well. Well, rescue through convincing Larrin she needed Sheppard and McKay to get the ship working, thus getting them onto the ship to effect the rescue.
I'm not sure the scene actually works as it is, but that's why it's called a first draft, right?!
