That's good about the ficathon. I had one of the three that was glaringly obvious in topic, but I didn't like the ideas it was kicking up, so I started to think on one of the other ones and I've got a story in my mind that I'm quite happy with - more thinking is required but so far it's funny and quite sad which is what I wanted. I won't say too much about it cos it's still early days but it frees me up by having two character you wouldn't normally put together (one you can guess) out of the police world environment so I can be a bit more creative. Also I don't have to do much research.

I just hope I can deliver it now and capture the idea.
