Are 7 muses equal to 1000 monkeys? |

~: heart :~ Well, I was checking out an old fanfic that I used to read and have recently began rereading it (I never finished). And while giving my mind a break from the fic, I decided to cruise through the rest of her site to see if she had anything else interesting. She did; a DBZ fic. Well, it was kind of crappy, but there was an interesting intro to it:
queenofswords It has been said that if you lock ten thousand monkeys in a room with ten thousand typewriters, eventually they'll write Hamlet. So, being utterly museless and therefore unable to write, I decided to try a little experiment. Having no monkeys handy, I took the next best thing--Saiyans--and locked them in a room, each with his (and in Bra's case, her) own laptop computer, and told them they wouldn't be allowed out of the room until they produced a fanfic. The fic had to contain the following elements: A royal family, assassination, incest, a ghost, a vengeful prince (who may or may not be insane), his best friend, and his girlfriend. As a reward, I told them that if they were successful, they would be allowed to fight en masse until only one of them was left standing. That one would be my fanfiction b***h until such time as I grew weary of a bragging muscleman who can't dress, has silly hair, argues with my every command and eats me out of house and home. Here's what the little warrior monkeys came up with.
and I thought it actually sounded like a pretty smart/kool idea. I decided that when I ever seriously need something written, I'll shove my muses into a pickle jar (yes, with the pickles still in it) and shake it up. Although, I'm thinking I'll just cram them into the conference room and threaten the pickle jar on them if they don't behave. . . THEN precede with pickle jar, if need be. BU-UT since they just spent the last month writing a 21k word script, which they've never done before, not to mention almost 1/2 of the script was written in the span of four days, I think they deserve a rest.
Only problem with that is the fact that the last minute sprint across the finish line of Screnzy sent them all into a frenzy. They've been running around in circles and screaming things I can't comprehend because they're all doing it at the same time. So, I decided, since they wanna work on something so badly, they can make me an original story. Characters, plot, setting, everything brand new. No ficcy this time around. Sooo I crammed them all into the little conference room and thus, they sit. I'll check in on them later to see how their doing. ~: heart :~
