Taking one for a ride
A few months ago, I had a brain melt and had to share it on good ol' Tumblr.
"My brain melted and started thinking about the beginning of The Web Planet and Barbara casually drinking from the Roman goblet. And then I thought:
"Barbara goes to explore the depths of the TARDIS in search of the wine cellar, because she has gone through so much and she deserves a drink dammit."
And it had the tag: let 👏 babs 👏 drink
And the always wonderful![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)
notbarbara-yetaxa replied with "I need this fanfic." And because I have no self-control, behold, I am writing it.
The problem is that it went from "crack treated seriously, Babs is having a bad day and goes to find a drink for relaxation purposes" to "an exploration of the relationship between Barbara and the TARDIS, hopefully it's still funny". Guess this is what happens when you only have a thin outline for a story.
So I want to ask anyone who sees this and does art, be it writing, drawing, sculpting, whatever: have you ever had certain expectations and ideas for a certain piece, and as you work on them, they shift into a completely different direction? How do you feel about that?
