Oh well, there´s my major problem: Structuring thoughts before writing. Actually with me the advice should be: Structuring thoughts before doing anything at all. Not long ago I read first-kiss fic and had the feeling that there are just so many times you paint this situation in an engrossing way. Picking a scenario and then blending all the elements that are "necessary" just doesn´t do it for me to get emotionally (yes, I read slash for emotions *cough*) involved with the story. The "shaking up" as you call it, the things that take me by surprise are what make the stories memorable.
Have you seen that there´s a podfic version of "A Modest Proposal" in jinjurl´s audio archive?
