Fic projects, present and future
Nov. 11th, 2017 08:59 pmNo, I'm not doing the nano this year XD
It's not that I don't have a behemoth of an idea, it's just that it's not that far yet. As well as having last year's nano with the beta-reader.
Also, cold season - as in, stuffed nose and low grade headache, so don't expect any miracles for the next couple of months *g*
Actually, that behemoth of an idea, I've decided to work on here, on my DW account. I don't particularly like doing WIPs on AO3, mostly because I don't like the idea of editing backwards in anything I've actually posted there. So this will be my work room, my draft room and I'll leave the entries unlocked so anyone can comment (with great power comes great... yadda yadda).
I doubt I'll find the time before X-mas to get this started, with the current project still going on (although I've planned out the last entries for that). And I've still got a final chapter to do for the "I hate you" story line that I've left on and off for the past couple of months. However, you never know, I do intend to get that stuff off my plate so I can get started on the big one.
So the big project? Yeah, I'm a glutton for punishment. It'll be a Star Trek fusion that will use one of my previous trek fics as a stepping stone. I've had the odd idea on and off for the past year regarding this, but all through summer and autumn it's been dogging my heels and while I seem to have trouble finding the full story idea in the mess in my head, I also know that in many cases the full bloomed idea doesn't come to me until I start working on a story. I'm a writing-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of fic writer, after all, so why not go back to that? And I miss the LJ/DW style of writing that has a more organic feel to it than the archive itself does. The story will of course eventually end up on AO3, but until then, I need a sandbox to play in and I think we can all agree that Tumblr will never serve that purpose for me - it screws with my need for universal order XD
