Mostly avoiding the stuff I'm supposed to be doing.

Twig said something once about how most writers have one theme they keep coming back to, and I took a look at my fic, and found that this was true of me. So I said, okay, stretch yourself and don't write about it.

Reviewing the fics I'm working on now my grand theme of communication (or more exactly mis-communication normally) is sneaking in through the backdoor. Of five active fics, one is all about the two parties not communicating, another two are fics where the problems would have been solved had anyone bothered talking to each other, one is all about how what you say isn't always what you mean and the other is the one exception in that communication isn't mentioned except in the sense that an awful lot of the misery would have been avoided if one character actually paid attention to messages he gets.

And it's kind of aggravating to know that I've tried to avoid the topic but here I am stuck back on it again.

Other than that, I'm only miffed at WWE letting M. Hardy go because it makes no sense - he's a proven good mid-carder. But at the same time they've got enough people to not make it an issue. They've got people who are better talkers, and people who are more over.

And look on the bright side - TNA might pick him up and then he might actually get a belt. And hey, you never know he might be the guy that finally beats Jarrett. I work on the principle that someone has to be the guy that finally beats Jarrett. I have my heart set on it being one particular person, but at the same time my heart is dead set against it being him for other reasons.

The only thing actively aggravating me, uni work is passively aggravating me by its existance and my unwillingness to do it, is all these people getting on Lita's case being all 'she's a slut'. Dude, sleeping with one guy who isn't your boyfriend at the time does not make you a slut, it doesn't make you little miss perfect but it doesn't make you a slut either. And since we don't know any of the parties involved all kinds of anything could have caused it so I think it's a little bizarre to be finger-pointing.

Theme repetition? EMBRACE IT. At least, I'm trying to embrace that about my own fics, despite my occasional whiny bitching about how I'm completely unoriginal and uncreative and oh woe is me that I only seem to have one story to tell. Ultimately, it's all about the execution of the fic. One general broad theme, such as communication, can have so many extensions and twists, and I don't know. From the sound of the types of variations you've got going, you've got, well, VARIATION. Some people really do tell the same story over and over again, except the problem comes when they're telling it the same WAY over and over again. As long as you're varying, I think it's all good.

Even if Matt Hardy shows up in TNA, I sincerely doubt he'll be the one to take the belt off Jarrett. I know lots of people are hoping he'll show in TNA, but I'm not one of them. Mostly, of course, there is the fact that I don't care for Matt Hardy, but lord, TNA really does not need more former WWE people in its ranks. As much as I laughed about that Lockdown poster, with its "one of these things is not like the others", it's getting to the point where it's detrimental to the company.

Only one person will be taking the belt off Jarrett, and that's AJ. And as much as I love AJ and all, that is NOT something I want either.

TNA is the only place I can see him turning up, because he's kind of a name, and he's not really ROH's type. I occasionally mock TNA (because I love it so) as redneck wrestling and the job centre for unemployed ex-WWE wrestlers.

I do worry that it will be AJ, and he doesn't really need any shiny belt for he is beloved by all, I think Jarrett, for all I may bitch, does actually need the belt or at least be trying to get it. I really worry that one of these days they're going to be stupid enough to pull the plug on AMW and have Harris get it. I do not wish to see this day, hence why I was saying I don't want to see it.

There was an interesting article in Powerslam all about the problem TNA have with finding someone who's name isn't Jarrett to hold the belt. They were saying the problem is that they're either too old (Nash, DDP), too one-dimensional (Abyss) or prefered wrestling in the X-division (AJ). I love how they totally ignored Monty Brown and Ron Killings, but never mind...
