WWE AC fic idea

so I've often had the notion that if I used voice recorder dictation or something maybe I'd have a better chance of actually writing more. The hardest part of writing is always the actual writing part after all.
Editing is slightly easier, so if I just be spew out a wall of text maybe it'd be easier edit than actually trying plonk it out on paper manually.

I never got around to doing it, never looked into any software options. But today there was general meeting about accessibility awareness and all that at work and they pointed out there is a dictation button in their Word. So you know what? I figured I'd try it see how this goes.

I don't know if I’d ever actually write a story like this but you never know.
I figure let's try a fic idea and see how it goes.

So I I've been reading this really cool long fic called “Heroes of the Squared Circle” by Mithen.

It's a really cool AU fusion fic of DC heroes and professional wrestling. You know, the WWE type wrestling.
I have not watched wrestling in an age. When I was a little kid sure I watched it a bit but like yeah, that's a long time ago and I couldn’t really say I know much about it. I can recall some of the names & possible at a stretch a few moves but that’s about it.
I know enough that the good guys are known as Babyfaces or just Faces and the bad guys are called Heels and that’s where the phrase heel-face turn comes from.

But the great thing about fanfics is that some fantastic writers out there really make you invested in stuff you know nothing about. And I know about showmanship and theatre from when I did backstage work and stage-managing so it was a fun read.

The convoluted mess of comic book storylines really mesh well with the convolution mess of professional wrestling storylines.

But anyway.

In the grand tradition of tying everything back into whatever recent fandom you've dived into I was thinking of what a version of that with Assassin's Creed would be like.

Obviously I'll never write it, I don't know enough about either to have a go at it, but it’s fun to muse on.

 

 

( So here's the idea:  )

 

 

So I think the dictaphone thing was a success. It seems to have churned out over 1500 words and after editing and fleshing things out it’s over 2500. Which means it did actually get me writing since without this experiment I would have done nothing.

I had to do a lot of editing however. I mean, a wall of text is not easy to read never mind the fact it didn’t understand what I was say a lot of the time.

And I did have to go back in and write whole swaths to make this more coherent. Still, I think it helps my spelling. It got a lot of words wrong, but they were all spelt correctly.

It was kind of hilarious what it kept thinking Ezio’s name was and I admit I just paused and put in fillers to fix later for some things I knew it was going to get wrong.
But I think I might try this again some time. I don’t know if I’ll ever write a full fic like this but it’s definitely a good place to start.
