Creator: garonne
Fandom: due South
Current Fic Word Count/Podfic or Vid length/rough percentage of Art created: 5000 words
Character/Pairing: Fraser/Kowalski, Ray Vecchio's POV
What I Like About the Fanwork so far: I'm still feeling very enthusiastic about it
What’s driving me nuts about the Fanwork so far: I'm completely stuck! I really WANT to write, plus RL is giving me enough free time at the moment, but I have absolutely NO IDEA what's going to happen in the rest of the fic, now that I've finished the set-up... Oh well, it's just a matter of sitting down and thinking hard about it, I suppose!

If you'd like someone to bounce ideas off of...er, normally I'd offer to be a sounding board, but I'm about to go on an internet-free vacation for a while. But I'll be around for the next few days, if you'd like to drop me an email. Or I bet other folks would be willing to do the same. :)

Hey, thanks for the offer! Especially since you were such an amazing sounding board the last time round. Sounds like you've probably already gone on holidays by now, though? And yes indeed, rose_malmaison was kind enough to make the same offer. So I won't bother you this time - I'll just wish you a great vacation :)

Not quite gone yet, but very soon. :) Good luck with the story -- I look forward to reading the final product.

5000 words + enthusiasm = AWESOME!

My advice is, if you are okay with writing non-linearly, write whatever appeals to you most, or what idea comes to you that may not be the next scene. Sometimes that helps me work out how the fic is going to go, since I don't normally have detailed (or any) outlines.

*cheers you on*

I took your advice! So now I have another 1000 words a few months in the future (fic-time) and I just need to let the characters make their way from one point to the other… ;)

Or you could sit down and let your mind wander...you know how good ideas come to you when you're driving or in the loo? LOL If you want to talk about ideas, email me - rose.mal.malmaison@gmail.com I love batting ideas back and forth across a net.

Haha, yes. In the shower is another good place!

Thanks so much for the offer :) I'll send you an email tomorrow, if that's all right with you.
