Fic Rush: the two-day ficathon

If you don't mind my butting in, I think you're making things much harder for yourself than they need to be. True, there are things you can do in writing that you can't do on TV, like introspection, but there are also things you can do on TV that you can't do in writing, like show the expression on someone's face. You're stuck with the disadvantages of the medium you're using, so why not allow yourself to at least use the advantages? I wouldn't call that "cheating" at all.
