Snaaaap out of it
I mean me. I've been in a head-up-my-ass funk for weeks. Come on in, it's Sunday and I have rambling to do ...
Anyways, non-fandom stuff first. My mother is back in hospital, and has been since Thursday. She has fluid on her lungs, a chest infection and is on oxygen for breathlessness. So ... that's the total opposite of awesome D:
I had a gallstone attack on Friday night, which was also the opposite of awesome. Sigh. I think there's a surgery waiting list in my future.
H'anyways. It's been .... a weird week all around. Real life, fandom ... it's all been a little ... being-pecked-to-death-by-ducks, and I'm slowwwwly losing my will to ... care? Everything's getting all jumbled up.
So, I finally finished Bass Line: http://archiveofourown.org/works/121038 and it's the perfect example, to me, of a Fic that Did Not Need A Sequel. The original fic ended with Adam and Tommy in the limo after the AMAs and, in my opinion, that's where it should have stayed. The end is weak because it's months late, and my Tommy is way, way OOC. There's canon errors in it, and I think it gets progressively weaker. But, as I pointed out to someone on my twitter feed, I'm hyper-critical of my own work.
And it should feel good to have an old WIP done, but mostly I feel :| about it. But for anyone who may be wondering - no. There won't be an epilogue. It's done, dusted and off my list.
So that's basically all I got done this week. Apart from writing a short Tommy/Isaac fill for glam_kink and starting a realllllly fucked-up AU that I'm hoping my help_pakistan person, because a telepathy sequel isn't happening.
I know a lot of people wanted one, but I can't make it work out in my head. For me; everything that was needed, was contained in that ficlet, even though it fell a bit short of the charity request. D: And that I feel bad about, so I might - not re-visit that one, but maybe see if the person who donated for it wants something else.
So. Yeah. I have a fucked-up work schedule this week - I'm working 5-1 tomorrow; 4-12 on Tuesday and 2.30-10.30 on Wednesday (can't remember what Thursday and Friday are) but it makes a writing routine hard to get into.
But with one WIP cleared, I can ... try and poke at some others - lol.
Lol I just looked at last week's post, and I said I'd gather the pay it forward prompts today. That won't happen now; but I'll try and remember to do it tomorrow.
Okay. What do I want to get done this week?
- I still want to close out my kink bingo. The good news is that the fucked-up AU I'm working on will fit body alteration/injury for my kink_bingo and I finally have a bunny for whipping/flogging, which is my last square to make a + before I start working on a postage-stamp with phone sex for another charity request. Oh! And of course lacerations/aftercare, although I have no clue what I'm going to do for that.
- So two (2) 1k ficlets to close out my + on my kink bingo.
- Two (2) charity ficlets - one awkward high school/phone sex and one lacerations aftercare
- Poke at amnesia!Kradam. Finishing Bass Line is encouraging in one way - it shows me that I can pick up an older WIP and get it done.
- Lambliff big bang. I'm still sitting on 143 words and I'm procrastinating hardcore. The thing is - it's a serial killer fic, which is going to mean multiple POVs - at least three - and I'm just trying to sort out the voices in my head. I also need to watch some Criminal Minds, because it may turn into a crossover.
- Inception big bang. I haven't touched this since last weekend either, and it's giving me the yayas. I'm not sure why. Cobb/Saito is my OTP forever but this past week I've been going ... Arthur/Cobb tho ... fml.
- amnesia!kradam. I reallllllllllly need to get this off my back. Really really really need it to be DONE. And it's happening. Slowly, but it is happening.
There's probably more, but to be honest, I don't want to know right now - lol.
Also, I'm scorned and I feel like an idiot. Come and ask me about fic! Here: http://janescott.livejournal.com/9934.html
Also sign-ups are still open for the lambliff big bang: http://community.livejournal.com/lambliffbigbang/ - come play!!!
