Update number...ah, I've lost count...
Yes, my friends -- even though life (more specifically, work) has been kicking my ass with its non-stop responsibilities and hectic schedule (still love what I do, do what I love -- but Gods, does there have to be so damn much of it???), I have STILL been writing!
Aren’t you glad to hear that? *cheeky grin*
So, without further ado...
Updates
1. Just A Game: [30Lemons Entries] My claim on the Rob/Rae pairing for this community has definitely lapsed, but that’s okay -- I never got too much feedback from the lj community people anyway. I’m still working on getting them done and still intend on increasing the amount of lemony goodness in each one as they progress. In that vein, the next chapter is done in rough draft form. I had intended it to be theme 19: the Gymnasium, but I’ve changed my mind. Due to a sudden burst of inspiration, the next chapter will now be theme 6: The Closet, or, "Denial isn't just a River in Egypt!". So yes, this one should be up relatively soon...as soon as I can get myself to edit it. I’ve already sent it out to a few betas, and hope they’ll help me. I’m not too content with the end, so once I’m happy with that, it’ll probably get put up.
2. Stuff Like That There: [15 hugs themes] The next theme I was working on for this one was 12: Fur. I worked out a scene, and wrote most of it and had some trouble finding a way to end it. So I stopped. Now, I’m not so sure that I like it for this series at all. It might work better as a sort of independent one-shot than as part of the Hugs Series. If I decide that’s true, then y’all will get a one-shot, but not the next installment of the series. In any case, there’s a mostly finished (except for the ending) bit written in very nearly final draft, so it might just get posted up relatively quickly (if I decide it IS a Hug after all.)
3. Sweetest Thing: Honestly, I don’t even know which is the next theme for this. So no, I haven’t written in it. (I think I might’ve somehow missed transferring over the file from Lola to the new Mac. Hafta look to see...
4. Instinct 2: Impulse: Nope. Haven’t written in this one either.
5. Burn: Okay, so I have written in this one, but I’m not sure I like it. I’ve written several different ways of approaching the next chapter, so yeah...that’s why I had to let it go for awhile to decide what I liked best. It’s started, and that’s about it. I’m also debating how much to give y’all in the next chapter.
6. Stupid Cupid: Finished in rough, rough draft version. I’ve got an appointment for a live one-on-one with BetaAbbie to go over this...But yeah...this’ll probably be the next thing posted.
7. It Only Takes A Moment: As I said when I posted this one, I have three different scenes to write for this story, and I haven’t decide which is to go first just yet. I think I have decided, but I’m not sure. In any case, I’m trying to update my other stuff before I get back to this one...
8. Echoes: Yeah, no idea which theme will be up next. Obviously, haven’t written it. I’ve still got ideas for two of them, but haven’t worked on them, so sorry.
Collabs
1. A Raven’s Tale: I think I might be done with my part in writing Chapter 3. I want to give it another looksie before sending it on to guardian_kysra for her input.
2. Strange Bedfellows: Chapter 2. This is still up to Kysra.
3. The Shadow and the Flame: Log II. Also up to Kysra.
And...I guess that’s it, folks.
I’ve also been working on a few one-shot ideas off and on. Notably, one based off of a song, and another that would be the totally and completely AU story I’ve been wanting to do, but we’ll talk about those when I’m closer to actually posting something...
Keep an eye out, and remember to vote in the polls to help determine which Red-X/Raven drabble I extend to a full one-shot!
