Plots and the Sweetie

[przed]

So last night I'm working on the final scenes of my U.N.C.L.E. Christmas story and I'm bitching to the Sweetie about the story structure:

Me: There's plot holes in this puppy you could drive a truck through.
Sweetie: Wait, it's U.N.C.L.E., right?
Me: Yeah.
Sweetie: So can't you just call that homage?

I'd have slapped him, but ya know, he's not entirely wrong. (And I say that as a huge fan. One who really needs to get cracking and order the damn DVDs.)

LOL! Definitely agreed there. From a writer's perspective, you want it to be clean and tidy, but plotty MFU is all about the fun.

MFU definitely has it's messy moments, and I think I've just contributed another one. *g*

But it's now off at the betas, so we'll see what they think of the plot holes and messiness. (Apart from edits, all I need is a snappy denouement and it's DONE! With luck, you'll see it tomorrow.)
