YANA.

[(Anonymous)]

I do this too. I'll be all happily swimming along in my daydream world and then something'll happen and all I can think is "shit, that totally contradicts previous dream canon, CONTINUITY CONTINUITY!" But by then I like the new development, so my brain tries to backtrack and retcon the previous stuff and make it fit with the new idea. But then if I'm really tired I end up forgetting what the new development was anyway. Man, I wish my brain wasn't so obsessive about those little details. Why can't I just have a daydream where it's like "oh, now I'm a flying elephant, cool" without trying to provide backstory and explanations?! :(

[helenadax.livejournal.com]

LOL I have the same problem!

[(Anonymous)]

When I was a kid I was afraid that mind readers were a legit possibility and I'd get nervous when my daydreams were too crazy/indulgent. So I have this like, reflex of trying to keep my daydreams sane and ~humble.~ I'm trying hard to break that habit though because sometimes crazy and indulgent is fun.

[emchelle.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Escapism, brain...ur doin it wrong.

[fictionalbf.livejournal.com]

Anon, I suspect you are me.

It's gotten to the point where I was daydreaming a silly self-insert and the self-insert realised that her very presence was causing canon characters to act out of character. So she committed Sueicide. It was almost more fun than imagining how the canon characters decided to humour the crazy lady who thought she was from a parallel dimension and try to help her get back home.

But only almost.

[daystarsearcher.livejournal.com]

Have you tried prefacing each daydream with a disclaimer? It totally works for me. "This daydream is a work of amateur fiction created solely for enjoyment and as such will contain plot holes, extremely improbable scenarios, and Mary Sue tendencies. The author acknowledges the flaws and does not expect any scenarios contained within to occur in real life."

[dgcatanisiri.livejournal.com]

I know the feeling. I have some hiccup in the head!canon (the literal kind, I mean), I stop and trying to work out a reason for how that happened and if I can't, I back up and try it again.

[crownedapple.livejournal.com]

If that ever happens, I just assume it's another alternate universe. Continuity rolls on as usual, but now with two different paths to expand upon.

[(Anonymous)]

All. The. Time. I'd be in the middle of some awesome narrative when it'd be like, "Oh damn, that character wouldn't do that, would they?" WHY DO I CARE IT'S ONLY IN MY HEAD?

non-explicit tmi

[(Anonymous)]

oh man, I have a similar problem with my sex fantasies- at first I was using real people, but then I started nitpicking behaviors, so then they became OCs who just looked like real people, and basically I ended up with this whole porn cast in my head who are constantly cheerfully reaffirming consent and all sorts of PC things (I added in a few m/m couples even though m/m sex doesn't turn me on just because I felt it was more realistic and I didn't want them to be left out!) to the point where sometimes I wonder if I should actually make it into a real smut story/comic whatever.

Somehow, despite all these complications, I do occasionally get off anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

I have this problem with sex fantasies in bed at night, so much so that often by the time I've mentally come up with a plausible "hook them up to have sex" scenario in my head, I've fallen asleep. Sigh. Worst of all, I get bored with certain scenarios, so I'm constantly having to come up with new ways to hook up the same characters so I can get off. Ughhhh.

Someone give me some of those "bulletproof" kinks that work every time, please.

[megalomaniageek.livejournal.com]

I do this sort of. I can still enjoy self-indulgent Mary Sue fantasies, but typically I can't enjoy them unless I put in some modicum of effort to fit them properly into canon, and typically I don't enjoy massively warped personalities without "character development." And then I feel bad if I think that people wouldn't enjoy reading it as a story (what the fuck brain?).

[streetcake.livejournal.com]

Ugh, same. It's a huge pain having alien sci-fi daydreams because I have to create the alien's biology, cultural history, current social standards in relation to their history and biological differences from humans, language, accents, fashion, religion, etc. It's a pain, but it's fun.

[(Anonymous)]

I can relate to this so freaking much. The OOCness can be frustrating when I'm daydreaming my fave self-insert fantasy, one I've had for several years now and which is tied to a certain fictional character, because I bloody well know said character would NEVER react the way I'm having him react in my dream! Ahhhh.

I realize I'm having an innocent Sue fantasy and that there's nothing wrong in having them (after all, no one knows them but me, it's not like I'm shoving them down anyone's throat), but, still, I love the character the way he is in canon, and I feel silly sometimes to daydream about him as if he's changed completely all of a sudden just for me.

In my head, I'm like the worst Mary-Sue there is, the kind I loathe in fanfic. I keep telling myself if it's just in my head and not written down in fic for all to read, it's not like I'm ruining the character for anyone. It's just that, for a little while, he can be mine and make me feel happy, and that's all there is to it.

See, no matter how silly I feel about my fantasy, I know there must be millions of folks that have the same sort of daydreams about all sorts of characters and people, and those daydreams may be completely unrealistic, and that's fine. That's why they're fantasies. Don't be too hard on yourself. :) Fantasies aren't fanfic and no one can give you "negative feedback" for them. They're for your own enjoyment.

It just so happens my fave fantasy has my fave character acting very OOC. There's no reason I should abandon the fantasy because of that. Instead, I'll cherish it and keep it to myself. I can give the same advice to you. :D

[la-petite-singe.livejournal.com]

Heh, I'm kinda the same way with some stuff. Esp. if they're silly daydreams about celebs--like, I don't like cheating. Even with me. In my head. It's just absurd.

[saiika-von-maou.livejournal.com]

I do this, too, OP. It's no wonder I have trouble getting to sleep at night.

[luxis-lil.livejournal.com]

THIS. SOOOOO ANNOYING.

[sashwizzled.livejournal.com]

I feel like this whole thread is channeling my brain.

[(Anonymous)]

I get really caught up in world building and developing supporting characters that I barely get around to the main cast.

[duae.livejournal.com]

Now I feel odd for not really caring for OOCness, background, worldbuilding, etc. when I'm day dreaming. It's more like.. I want a mental picture, not a mental comic book.

Though for smutty stuff I can only fantasize about fictional characters. If they're real people at all I get caught up in worrying about real life details (Rimjob? Ewwno, real people poop. Everyone knows fictional characters do not poop, so there's no need to sit and worry about that. Fictional characters also do not get dickcheese or UTIs and so on)

So I can kind of understand, but eeh, self-indulgent Mary Sue daydreams are fine in your head, so if I want to daydream about being Rarity's gryphon fashion model, or hurt/comfort in a universe that explicitly has magic handwave no injuries or illness for the characters ever then fuckit, I'm doing it anyway.

[firecracker-sj.livejournal.com]

I have the same problem, which is really annoying cause sometimes I just want to enjoy the ride but I can't.

[hallieface.livejournal.com]

Lol story of my life. It's so ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

Oh god, I so agree with this! I'm always doing this!
