WIPs
I've had a couple inquiries as to sequels or future plans regarding a favorite pairing that I've written. I'll let you know, I get plot bunnies ALL THE TIME. The short ones are usually written and posted within a week to do away with them, but the longer ones fall into two categories- ones that I think about for a week, sit down to outline, and decide that are terrible, and one that I sit down to outline and can't do anything else until at least the outline is finished. So, when it comes down to it, I have four fics that I have not only outlined, but have written a test chapter or two. I have decided that I'm really, really going to try to stop being distracted (and I'll be the first to admit I have the attention span of Dug from Up at times) and finish my posted WIPs before I work too hard on any I haven't started posting, but here's the status of my WIPs that haven't been posted.
1. Improbable- the sequel to Impossible. Criminal Minds/ Harry Potter x-over, Hermione/ Spencer pairing. Plot: Hermione had gone through with erasing Spencer's memory, and thought they'd both be able to get over their short but intense affair. But she quickly finds she made a mistake, and jumps at Kingsley's offer to get her into the BAU for a year so she can try to win his heart properly. But can one ever do a proper Obliviation charm on someone with an eidetic memory?
This one is around half, maybe a little more done. The MAJOR plot chapters have been done for a while, now I'm working on filler chapters. And I think I'm going to change a few details in she chapters I have to more accurately reflect what the BAU does and to not make it so happy all the time. I've sat on it recently with the recent cast changes, and I think I'm going to play into the middle of th middle of all that, when I started writing it, since I don't want to go edit in a major character I left out because the damn show got rid of, then brought back, Emily and JJ, had what's-her-name with no personality, broke up Kevin and Garcia (WTF?), got rid of Emily again, and is bringing in another person... it's too darn much to keep up with, especially since several of my scenes were written with Garcia mentioning or interacting with Kevin, and I'm NOT editing him out cuz I adore his character.
2. Unnamed Harry Potter fic, Snape/Hermione pairing. My twist on a marriage law-ish fic. Plot: After the war Hermione had vowed to keep Snape out of Azkaban, and she found a way to do so... but it would require her to marry him. She marries him to save him, but finds out that marriage to her former professor isn't as bad as it seems.
I have a couple chapters written, but this one is going to be a stinking novel because they aren't going to be happy and in love when they get married, it's going to take their marriage to get them there, and even then it's not going to happen overnight, because that would be totally OOC of them. But I solemnly swear there is no bizarre sex rule where they have to do it at the ministry once a week or something, those creep me out.
3. 31 Days, Harry Potter fic, Snape/Hermione pairing. This one is my take on a time-travel fic. After witnessing Severus' death, and in the midst of the Battle of Hogwarts Hermione confides to Dumbledore how upset she is over the Potion Master's death, and he says there may be a way to save him yet. Hermione agrees, and Dumbledore sends her back to Severus' seventh year at Hogwarts, using a spell that will automatically return her to the present in 31 days. She has a month to save him, but she soon finds that the younger Severus isn't much easier to deal with than the older one. But Hermione never backs down from a challenge, and may yet find a way to save him.
This one has about 8-10 chapters done, including most of the major plot points, but there's a few more to do, and some filler chapters. This one won't be as epic as some of the others, but it's still a decent length story.
4. Unnamed Harry Potter/Hunger Games crossover, Harry/Hermione pairing. This one is going to be a novel, maybe even a 2-part novel. The outline/summary of the first part is 8 pages long, and doesn't cover everything. Plot: Hermione was born in District 5. Her mother died in childbirth, and the girl next door who helped raise her is killed in the Games. From a young age those around her knows she has a gift, though they aren't sure exactly what. When her father is accused, tried, and executed for plotting against the Capitol Hermione's magic manifests, and she is taken by Severus Snape, a Victor, and they escape from 5, heading to 13 where the witches and wizards of Panem have sought refuge alongside the Muggles who survived the Dark Days. She is recruited at the age of 11, along with Harry (who is an orphan thanks to the Capitol as well), to train and participate in the 74th Hunger Games, not as regular tributes, but to save as many of the tributes as they can and break them out of the arena as publicly as possible, which will hopefully ignite a revolution in the Districts of Panem. But training for the Games is more than she bargains for, and the Games themselves threaten to break her. Above all that she knows she's being manipulated, and is torn between doing things for the greater good and saving what she remembers of herself. It follows Hermione through her early life, training, the Games, and the revolution.
I'll admit, at the moment I'm most excited about this one. Like, I wrote a teaser for it excited. But it is going to be a major undertaking, and when I start writing it I don't want anything else on my plate because it's going to take a long time and a lot of concentration.
What order I do these is up in the air right now. I really want to get Improbable up, since I've been promising it to people for ages. There's also a good chance that I'm going to have to keep the HG/HP crossover off ff.net because it's going to involve sex and violence, and I'd rather not it get taken down. The other ones I'm probably going to host on two different sites, to post the 'cleaner' version on ff.net, and the uncensored version elsewhere. But that's a decision for when one is ready to be posted.
As of right now, these are my only fics that are anything past the plot bunny stage. Even though my HP/Twilight crossovers rank as some of my most popular works, I have no concrete plans for one of those in the near future.
Feel free to PM me with any questions, and I may be on the hunt for betas for the two Snape/Hermione fics and the HP/HG fic, not for spelling and grammar, mainly just for either 1) a real fan of the Hermione/Snape pairing who can smack me back into character for the two of them if I get off course, or 2) a Hunger Games fan who can help me form some of my ideas into more concrete scenes. I have a wonderful beta, Ria Binger, who has been crazy awesome during my initial excitement over each fic and writing, I just want another set of eyes on some of these for assistance because I think sometimes I squick her out with the pairing and I don't expect her to know some of the more intimate details of a trilogy she hasn't read yet.
But I do love you, Ria! And Improbable is all yours ;)
