Why?
Because.
Neither exist: the technology, nor the man.

And, Grumble.
An entire scene of beautiful dialogue gone. Gone. Just the most fleeting of impresions remains.
Grumble.
At least I’d already finished the fic – this scene was a left over. But it was LOVELY! Damn.
Tis over on ff.net, for those who are interested and in the know. I know, I know. ff.net, is the lowest of the low, but I was feeling lazy, and that, my friends, seems to be where some of the good iron man movieverse fics reside. Now that we’ve written them.
Don’t you love getting in at the bottom floor of a fandom? Only problem: there aren’t already 3000 good fic for you to lose yourself in. You’ve actually got to produce.
Well, it’s a good thing that Tony Stark just happens to be a sane, playboy, superhero version of my father (who, in case you wanted to know, explained to me the science behind the arc reactor, and his own research into the subject – which i’d heard about before – because, of course, he knows. Because, a slightly unhinged, remarried, non-superhero version of Mr. Stark, is Dr. Gordy), or else I’d have no ‘in’ to his character and wouldn’t be able to write any passible fic at all, after only a few days. Usually takes longer than that for me to get inside a character’s head.
Hell, it usually takes months. And then, if I’m a very good writer and an exemplary person in general, the muse shows up some months later.
Guess, I ask you, who stormed into my living room and asked about a certian … um, well, he was upset about something i’d failed to write, even by the end of the fic. Yes, that’s right. Muse!Tony. Who knew? I was just as shocked as anyone. I was writing back to someone who’d left a review, commenting about the proper placement of lemons (I had a later date in mind) and in stormed Mr. Stark, just a smidge upset with me for holding my stated opinion.
He would have thoroughly approved of the scene that I lost. He would have. It would have had the Stark Industries stamp of approval.
::sigh::
Maybe it’ll come back?
