Writing-y stuff
So, I signed up for the where_no_woman New Year Exchange. My first fic exchange! I always wibble on these things. On one hand, nothing motivates me to finish a story like a deadline and another person I don't want to disappoint; on the other hand, there's FEAR. It's not fear of defaulting, so much as--random fear of being matched with someone whose fondest wish is for a story I can't write, about characters I don't know. Irrational!
(On the positive side, I have a small mountain of plot bunnies lying around, so I should be able to come up with something, right? As long as I know the characters, and don't have to kill them off or do significant violence to them, I should be fine. It's only 1000 words, even.)
Random side-effect of signing up: I offered the Romulan Commander from "The Enterprise Incident" as another character I'd be willing to write, and now I'm having story ideas for her. Yesterday I had to pause in my current WIP and take notes, just to stop her from talking in my head. Oh Romulan Commander, what would you be like in the reboot-verse? Besides younger and a total hotass. Is it very, very wrong that I want to read fic where pre-Academy Nyota meets her at a bar and they end up having wallsex in the bathroom?
*pause for contemplation*
Um. What was I talking about? Oh, yes! If you're interested in signing up for the WNW New Year Exchange, you need to join AO3. I have one invite code left--leave me a comment if you'd like it--or you can request one in the signup topic. Signups close Saturday, October 9th! COME ON DO IT!
