UPDATED -- Writing Update...
EDITED: 10-20-07
Woohoo! I think I'm back on the wagon, folks! I've been writing TT for the last few days...a few things you're going to be seeing coming up soon...a few things y'all have been waiting for (very patiently, I might add. thank you.) and a few you won't be seeing for a bit yet...
I've edited the thing I posted about a month ago with new comments, etc, in red...END EDIT NOTE
Writing….oi…
I’ve really got no excuse for why I haven’t updated anything in a while. I know the reason and it’s simple: I haven’t been writing. Not because I don’t want to, but because haven’t been inspired to, I guess. I’ve been reading and being really sleepy and tired, mostly.
But…I do know what I have to update and there are a few things in the works, so to speak.
This week has been a good week in getting me back into the swing of things….sorta.
POSTED and FINISHED! 1. Wrote the last chapter of Home the other night. I gave it to guardian_kysra and Absentia to read and see what they think. I want to sort take a step back from it and see what I see in a few days. Will it still flow alright? I'm not too convinced with the ending, and I think that's why I want to do this.
2. I started the next theme for Echoes , Silent Night. I think this is done. I have to give it a while to re-read it and edit it and all that good stuff, but it will probably be up within the next day or so, if all goes according to plan...
3. I have been trying very hard to get the next chapter of Instinct 2 up for you guys. I think this is written too. O.O! Seriously! Or, mostly written anyway. There's a bit of it in the middle there that is a bit cagey, but I'll iron that out. Expect this one within the next few days. (It did not escape my notice that it has been just a few days over a year since I last updated this...sorry!)
4. I started to outline, at least the next Chapter, of Stupid Cupid . This is another one that I know what mostly is going to happen in the chapter, I just haven’t figured out the rest. I think I’m going to have to outline the whole rest of the fic, though and that’s kind of a daunting task. I started to force myself to write the beginning of this chapter on paper and I didn't like it. I think I'm going to rethink it.
5. I have a bit of a scene for Burn’s next chapter, but I’m stuck on how I’m going to open it. Mostly because SPOILER ALERT! it’s going to start with Robin and Raven talking. I just can’t seem to decide how much either of them know just yet. I’ll get there, though, I promise!
6. I feel I have to totally rework what I have written of Just A Game , Chapter 3. Not for the idea of it, I think I still like it, but for the execution (it sucked.).
7. Wishes, II has officially been started. Nine pages in and already some major stuff has gone on...and oh, what I have planned next!!! Mwahahahahahaha.... It Only Takes A Moment in general is loosely outlined from Wishes, II to the end, btw.
And those are really the only ones that I’ve got “pending” to post up for you guys. The other stuff I’m working on is stuff that you haven’t seen yet.
For example:
DONE, POSTED! 1. guardian_kysra’s picture Echoes: Ten Years Ago that she did for my first submission on the “Echoes” themes randomly spurred a scene, which I wrote out and which now Kysra has insisted I must continue. So, who knows? That might make it up as a random continuation for that particular one-shot. Please see Echoes 01: Ten Years Ago, cont. for the one-shot.
2. I had a very cracky idea when I saw a particular commercial. Kysra prodded and we talked about it and what other fun things could happen and how it could happen and I said I’d do the first part if she did the second. I just finished the draft of the first part. So, that’ll definitely be up soon. Kysra will have to put up the other part.
And then, there are a few story ideas that have been persistent enough and haven’t wanted to go away even though they’d probably be LONG one-shots at the shortest (probably multi-chaptered). Some of those are: (All titles are tentative at best)
1. “Be Me”: This would probably be a long one-shot. My take on a side-effect of The Bond. Half-future!fic, half not. [Rob/Rae]
2. “Worthy”: Raven finds out all that Robin did to get to her that day when her father came into this dimension and she doesn’t like it. Another longish one-shot. [Rob/Rae]
3. “Congratulations”: Half based on a random scene Absentia had and shared with me one day. Future!Fic. Raven shows up in Nightwing’s apartment one night and she’s got some news and an invitation. No one actually expected him to show up. Maybe multi-chaptered, but probably not too many of them. [Rob/Rae]
4. “Going Once”: Half formed notion, based mostly on a few scenes I thought would be fun. Cyborg convinces the Titans to take part in a Bachelor/Bachelorette auction with proceeds to benefit a charity. Raven, never one to take chances, makes a deal with Roy Harper so that he will make certain her bidding reaches at least $500. Can we say “volatile”? [Rae/Rob?/Speedy?/Other TT Character?]
5. “Blaze of Glory”: The dreaded AU…but the way I like to do AU which is as close to the original canon as possible. Just in a different time period with a slightly different set of experiences…in this case, the story would center around the girls of the Double T Saloon, their friends, and not-so-much-friends, their secrets, and one Marshall who comes into Jump City Town in the wild, wilds of the California Territory from Gotham on the trail of a killer. Yes, my friends, it’s a western.
Then, there are the stories with a few chapters already written that I’ve told y’all about a dozen times, just haven’t been able to make up my mind to post ‘em.
And, the collaboration fics with guardian_kysra
1. Strange Bedfellows : I posted chapter 1. Kysra will post Chapter 2 and I’ll post Chapter 3 and so on and so forth. However, we both collaborate on what the chapters will be and what the story will entail and we check each others chapters. Kysra’s getting chapter 2 done.
2. A Raven’s Tale : This one has two chapters done and posted already and you guys have all but ignored it! What’s up with that?! Just because it’s not a comedy? (It will have some minor chuckles, mind, just won’t be the main point of it.) Kysra wrote Chapter 1 and I wrote Chapter 2 and now it’s her turn.
3. The third collaboration Kysra and I are working on is a totally cracky - half-unserious - fic centering around our Jedi Personas. The ones Kysra has brought to life here:
(Kysra’s alter-ego) Sancha
and
(My alter-ego) Fimia
We probably have the first chapter done, but are pretty much taking turns with what we write right now because Fimia and Sancha have yet to officially meet in what we’ve written. So, I’ve been taking Fimia’s pov bits and Kysra’s been taking Sancha’s pov.
It’s been MUCHO fun and it promises to continue to be so.
And, that’s it.

SPECIAL ADDITION:
1. I have also remembered that I promised to post some deleted scenes from Wishes, I. I found where I had written out some of those, and I promise to type them up and make them presentable soon. I've already posted one of them, but I think just onto here, not onto ff.n
2. Also, there were those one-shots that I told y'all didn't make the cut for It Only Takes A Moment because they didn't fit the flow of the story anymore. I've posted two of them so far, I think. I've got another three to go, or something like that.
3. Finally, I have not forgotten (at least not completely) about the continuations I said I would do for the people that asked for the Time Stamp thing way back when...I'll get to them, I promise. Eventually.
Woohoo! I think I'm back on the wagon, folks! I've been writing TT for the last few days...a few things you're going to be seeing coming up soon...a few things y'all have been waiting for (very patiently, I might add. thank you.) and a few you won't be seeing for a bit yet...
