Also, despite my gratification at managing to write fic which contained not even trace elements of theology, I am now fighting off a probably rabid plot bunny that thinks I should make Spock read Eckhart.* While I'm sure it would do him good, this is wanky, self-indulgent and, come to think of it, doesn't have much of a plot.
In fact, my id-fic involves fourteenth century mystic theology (BUT THERE ARE NO ANGLO-CATHOLICS, I'm being good!)
(I have another plot bunny, but it's angsty. Normal service has been resumed).

I think I really have gone insane. I also think I should get some sleep.
* Vulcans would love Eckhart, I imagine, in much the same way that he appeals to Zen practitioners. There was probably a Vulcan Eckhart Society, and everything.
