My To-Do List, sorta
Where I am in my unfinished stories, and where I am planning to go, and when. Or something. Or a general apology for not getting anything done...
So.
First of all, WWE fic is just not happening any more. I can't seem to summon up the inspiration. Maybe one day... but don't hold your breath. I know I have some stories hanging but... not on my journal, I hope. I never posted my epic (sarcasm) HHH/HBK series (DX reunion before they did it on the show) here because I never even got to the relationship part.
And I know I've left you hanging with Angels in Thy Soul (what *was* I thinking when I named it?;), the Gabriel Knight series/story. I just... find it hard. And the next bit is an epic re-write of the entire Gabriel 3 game so... I'd actually need to play the game through again as research. Great sacrifice, yeah, I know, but I don't actually have a computer at the moment and I don't know if M wants it on his laptop and my brother's a bit hoggy about his desktop computer... weird. Oh, and I meant to write a thing about Christmas before that but... I'm not sure if that would work, really, and I'm just not feeling Christmassy at the moment. But I know where I'm going for with the story, at least somewhat, and I have some scenes ready in my head. And, yes, Friedrich's wait would finally be over. Not that there would be sex or even, I think, kissing, but there's something to be said for realising one's feelings, isn't there?;P
Nights of the Old Republic, then. The Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic fic. (And yes, the title was just a working title but ended up going with it.) I have the story up to the Rakatan planet written down on my note book (yes, a paper one) but that's just the bare bones - I flesh it out as I type it... and it's exhausting, which leads to the one chapter a month schedule (on good months). Because the 'fleshing out' is sometimes quite extensive; I think I have Kashyyk down as 'stuff happens'. Yeah. I tend to get lost in the KotOR world while writing, though, so I usually finish at least 1,5 chapters at one go. I don't post two close to each other though because... I never know when I find the self-discipline to sit down and work on the next one, so it's nice to have something to post anyway. The next chapter is actually more or less ready so might actually post it next...
Been drawing KotOR stuff, too, so as soon as I get my paws on a scanner I can post pics of Shin, my female Revan. (And pin-ups of Mira and Handmaiden from KotOR II, but that's another matter entirely;)
And that brings me to my 'other' KotOR stories because I also have pics of Llehak, my male Revan for the (slash) story I posted on Valentine's Day (not the Opposite of Forever one) (and yeah, I should add links but I'm too tired and might come back to it if anyone ever even reads this self-indulgent ramble) and hope to finish one day. But I only have one scene in the end half-figured out and no idea how to get there so I'm sort of stuck with that one, too.
Then there's another female Revan/Carth lovestory with much darker and adulter (it's a word *now*) themes but it also ends up as pure sap fest so I'm not sure I'll ever actually post it. But I enjoyed writing it, after keeping Nights so PG. (It will have NC-17 versions of future chapters, though, mostly because of sex. And would you believe I don't think I've *ever* written a NC-17 het sex scene?)
While we're on Star Wars, I actually decided to continue my Luke/Han romance, Altered Visions. The eighth chapter is available on fanfiction.net at the moment, and as soon as I finish it, I'll post it on my journal. I pretty much know what will happen, it's just down to sitting down and writing it. (Shouldn't be more than two, three chapters.) (For now.)
Sense a theme already? I know what I should do, I just don't seem able to actually sit down and write.
Moving on.
National Treasure. Small fandom, but dear to me. I'm working on two stories, really: the re-write of the first movie with Ian as a good guy (sorta stuck there, too) and the sequel to my Yuletide story, The Age of Fire and Gravel (Me and the pretentious titles. Someone really should shoot me.). It's all planned out to have five parts/chapters but it grew a bit more epic than I'd planned... and I only ever finished my epic Yuletide story because I had a deadline, and a killer beta. (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jane_elliot is just magnificent.) I managed to write two first parts, more or less, and have outlines and scenes of the following ready but... ran out of steam. Would love to work on it more but... feels so self-indulgent, really, because I know there are people actually *waiting* to read some other stories of mine (can't wrap my mind around the concept. People *wanting* to read my stuff? Actually liking it? Wow. Boggles the mind.) (Yes, I am taking my drugs.) and no one really cares about that one but... Oh well:) It'll be good stuff, I swear!
What else? I think that's about it. Now, if I could just stop the compulsive *reading* and start writing again... And not get distracted by new fandoms (but but but... Modesty Blaise! Just *dying* to... yeah.).
So, to recap: Gabe and Friedrich, Shin and Carth, Llehak and Carth, Ben and Ian, Riley and Mina. Oh, Miss Parker and Jarod and James Bond and Alec Trevelyan but... maybe I'll leave them be for the time being. It's not like they are on-going stories I should be updating. Han and Luke! Must not forget them. Anyway, these are the stories in more or less active development, and I should have something for all of them in the following months. Because, Heaven help that I'd actually, you know, *study*. Or work. Who needs credits or money when one can have slash?:)
Feel free to comment with ideas, wishes, encouragement, bribes and offers of help;P
