So... have hit a bit of a moral impasse. Woke up this morning with a great idea for a story. Actually dreamed it up as the best ones are. Just a short, smutty little bit, but it features people I've worked with and will have to work with in the future. I don't know why I dreamed it up and it's only mildly disturbing to start with. Seeing them running around in bathrobes should have cured me of any need to think of them sexually. Apparently not.
So, to write and get it out of my system (so my brain will stop replaying the porny scene) or try to ignore it and hope it goes away? I feel really bad writing about people I sort of know (that's what killed the other fic I was working on). Half a day later I still see... well, lots of men. Quite clearly.
If I do end up writing it, it's going to be horribly Mary-Sue-ish and I'm not certain I have the time nor inclination to fix it.
