Monday motivation!

[luzula]

Hi everyone! I am home again, and I'm so impressed at the AU works that were posted while I was away. So many cool things, and I still haven't made my way through all of them.

So, how are you doing? Pondering your options? Blocked and not sure how to proceed? Happily working away at your project? Do tell us about it! : )

We have written more fic for this comm AND we have completed a novella to be zined by Requiem Publications.

[luzula]

Wow, you guys are so productive. I'm glad your collaboration is going well!

[luzula]

I just had a beta session on Skype with the Temeraire fic, which might or might not end up as my AU challenge fic? I feel like I got some new writing energy, which is good, because I need it to get over the hurdle of writing an action scene. Action scenes, why so hard?

[seascribble]

I shoulda broken out my housemate's pompoms and waved them for you during the skype session to cheer you on with your action scene writing! Dang. Next time!

(perhaps the general progress comment should be in a separate comment, but I don't want to clutter up the thread/your notifications box)

I've gotten badly distracted from my Irene story with a bunch of short projects, but I'm hoping the upcoming chat will get me back on track to at least write one more short vignette in that story for the final posting weekend.

Hooray Temeraire AU! \o/

I got a bunch of writing on several random projects while I was on vacation, including most of a draft of an AU story (not the Slings & Arrows one, sadly, which I've done some outlining for but which is now a big sprawling monster I don't have time to write for this challenge deadline. But someday! Also did some outlining on a DS/S&A crossover AU, ditto. I have way too many hypothetical giant long stories in my queue.).

[desireearmfeldt]

How did you get a 'zine...er, assignment, since it sounds like you knew it would be published before you finished writing it? (And, what does this mean for your audience who might like to get their hands on the finished product? :) )

[luzula]

Ha, yeah, I know what that's like--I have several stories in my head that are big sprawling monsters. : ) But hey, I'm glad you got some writing done!

I've ordered many a dSC6D zine from Requiem Publishers. As BG and I were writing this particular h/c novel which is loaded with noncon drugging and noncon sex, I was the one who said to BG that we should contact Requiem about getting this particular fic zined. We sent them a WIP draft and they accepted our fic on the basis of their reading the draft. Once it has been zined, it will be available on the Requiem site.

OMG teh plotbunnehs! We got several hundred words of our AU done today, but at the same time we were struck by the wing!fic bunny. Neither of us has written wing!fic before, and tomorrow we are taking a break from this AU to write out an outline for that one!

[luzula]

Do write your wing!fic! It seems to be a bit out of fashion nowadays (replaced by werewolf fic, perhaps?) but I am really rather fond of wingfic.

[ride_4ever]

Oh, we so definitely will! We are all the excite and determination for our ideas about this!
