I should finally start using this thing...
I made this account a while ago, with the intent of using it as an auxiliary location to post my stories at (since, by the time I manage to find them, all the Tron communities are dead). I've never been good with journal upkeep, but I might as well try, right? (No one is reading this I'm sure, but I'm going to pretend someone is anyway.)
I keep thinking about adding another story to the ones I"m working on openly (i.e. bringing one of the ones I'm not openly working on out into the open), but I've been mostly too busy to work on much of anything the last little while (not to mention kind of depressed, but for hypocritical reasons that I can't make myself put in writing, even if no one's reading it), so I'm not going to bother with it just yet.
Currently, my brain wants me to work on a fifth Memory to go along with what is currently known as Antivirus (someday I'll manage to come up with a better name for the thing, but by that point, this name will be too much like habit, probably); I'll eventually get the missing third Memory up (when I can keep myself, and what meager writing ability I have, together long enough to put the words down), but I keep worrying that I shouldn't post it to FF.net (it's probably going to require me to adjust the rating/warnings of the Memories on AO3, due to issues with mind control/slavery - I'm not entirely sure how to objectively label Rectification and in-story-universe Partitioning - and consent, though nothing will be, eh, explicit). I guess I'll just have to wait until I've finished writing it, then reevaluate if/where it should be posted.
In other news, I will eventually get back to Sleep Mode Beauty. I know where I'm going with it next, and have partially started the (fourth) chapter, but my brain refuses to let me put my thoughts into words at the moment on that one (this frustrates me, because it's pretty much guaranteed to be shorter than Antivirus, and if I could just finish it, I wouldn't feel bad about starting up another story to openly work on alongside Antivirus).
Chapter 9 of Antivirus hasn't been started yet; in the beginning (and throughout most, if not all, of the chapter) it will be in Tron's prespective, and that requires me to have longer chunks of free time to devote to it than Sam segments (because Tron takes me twice as long to write), which work is not allowing me. I was thinking/hoping that my schedule would let up some by now, but that hasn't happened, and won't at least through next week (nothing further ahead is posted). I'm starting to feel really physically run down by the whole thing; I'm almost-but-not hoping for a repeat performance of last Saturday, when I couldn't really move, because then I could call in and actually get something resembling sleep (I really, really need a new job; unfortunately, all my job experience is tied up in this one, which, frankly, is in a field I absolutely loathe, and have since before I started working in it, nearly seven years ago). The only reason I haven't gone insane, or broken down more times than I have (which is a number I don't think I care to admit to), is the little moments that I can steal to listen to my Tron music (the soundtracks from the original movie and Legacy, as well as Reconfigured; yes, I know I'm obsessed, and proud of it).
The fifth Memory, I forgot to mention before, is actually the first Memory I thought up, and the inspiration behind writing all the little companion pieces. I had another planned out that, if I'd had the time, I was going to post for Valentine's day (a little something in the older days with Tron and Yori, but I'm keeping the rest of it vague, because I do intend to write it at some point, along with all the many other Memory ideas I've written down and collected so I won't forget them). Maybe I'll have it up for Easter, but I'm not putting money on it (after all, I'd planned on having Sleep Mode Beauty done by the end of last year).
Eh. I'm so tired, and it's only... almost time to go to work. Joy.
