Goals for S11 (October-January)

[kalliel]

Okay, I've got my goals all lined up! Since my last goal sheet was focused on trying new things, this next one is going to be all about completing some long-overdue projects. Between now and our mid-season premiere, my concrete completion goals are:

1. Finish fandomaid (x2) by 30 November.

Random Line: "Cas, you got that whole X-ray vision stuff going for

Pretty much my only goal is to finish Gilgamesh Wulfenbach and the Men of Letters--but I'm getting close!

Snippet:
[Gadreel] waited just long enough for Sam to tuck [Barry Heterodyne's] journal into his coat before flying both brothers back down to Sturmhalten Castle, landing with the three of them standing next to Tarvek’s chair at the front of a large meeting room. Only about half of the seats were filled with men wearing white and gold, and maybe a quarter of the men present had hair the same color as Tarvek’s. Most of them were startled.

“I say!” exclaimed one man. “Most impressive, chaps! Was it done with magnets? I’ve a theory

[kalliel]

You're so close!! You got this!! And hee, I like the magnets/mirrors/MAGIC thing. XDD

[ramblin_rosie]

Hee, thanks! And yes, super close now--one chapter left to finish, I think. \o/ Then I can get on with reading other people's... like yours! :D

[kalliel]

Wow, that's super close!! Godspeed!!

[dustbunny105]

I just wanna say that I adore your sixth goal on principle XD

[kalliel]

Haha, IKR. It's kind of like when I put "eat" and "shower" on my To Do lists...

[dustbunny105]

WELL, I MEAN. EATING AND SHOWERING ARE PRETTY IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER TO DO.

For real, though, I think it helps to have at least one item that's a given. Even if it is just there because you want to rationalize it, at least it's a guaranteed something to feel accomplished for, right? Boosts confidence and makes the whole list feel more achievable, imo.

I wish I was structured enough to have a list, lol. I'm just like "write something for this series" and "write something for this ship" and "write something for this character" with only a few actual, solid ideas scattered throughout.

[kalliel]

An excellent point!

And haha, don't worry, that's exactly how my list for the summer read. XDD I think even a vague list is totally legit!!

[steeplechasers]

uhhh goals--sam/jody auction fic for quickreaver (SOMEDAY), xmas exchange, rarepair big bang (sam/soulles!sam), and possibly a few collabs with various friends (fucked-up teen wincest, fucked-up true-form!cas vignettes, and fucked-up sabriel feat. autocannibalism respectively), and a vague wincest-y thing that's been floating in my brain for a while

will any of them get done? WHO KNOWS.

[kalliel]

I AM A FAN OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES "FUCKED-UP" APPEARS AS A DESCRIPTOR FOR THESE PROJECTS. XDDDD And am looking forward to all of them, generally speaking!! :D

[snickfic]

Is that my fandomaid fic I spy there?! :DDDD!

My writing goals are to finish my exchange stuff, write additional treat fics for Trick or Treat, and make some progress on my WIPs. Yes, I realize those goals are ill-definied, sigh. But I wrote 558 words tonight, so, progress!

HUMAN ANATOMY IS RELATIVELY UNIFORM. :DDDDDDDDDDD

[kalliel]

IT IS. THE WORLD'S SLOWEST FILL EVER, OMG. XP

Hey ill-defined goals are still goals, and those sound like good ones to me! :D And huzzah for 558 words, that's awesome. \O/ P.S. One of my friends is sort of sampling hockey fandom, and I'm just like IF YOU EVER NEED FIC RECS, I CAN POINT YOU TO SOME AWESOME PEOPLE... ;D

[snickfic]

Eeee! SEND THEM MY WAY. FYI I have a hockey recs tag to get them started, if they do want recs.

And yesssss. I can't wait to read this. <33333

[kalliel]

Sweet! :D

And November 30!!! HOPEFULLY BEFORE, BUT DEFINITELY BY NOVEMBER 30. Because I started writing the fucking thing on November 30, 2013. ...D: and /O\ By rights it should be this immaculately sculpted 300k epic by now, but forewarning, it is not. More /O\

[amberdreams]

Oooh sounds intriguing!

[kalliel]

Thesis goals are not to be sniffed at, for sure! You can do it, bb. <3333 You got this.

And ooh, I love the idea of three universes, and charting out the differences between them, even in just these snippets, is so much fun. What a cool project!! :D
