So. I've reached an interesting new place in my development as a writer. I've got the beginnings of a skeleton (at long bloody last, thanks in some small part to the brilliance of my roommate in illuminating a particularly tricky antagonist for me) upon which to build my novel. It could consume me entirely at any time, now. When it does, it is quite unlikely that I will be able to find the time or energy to work on any of my older projects. Thus, I'm putting all of my current unfinished fanfictions on hiatus, unless the ideas behind them become particularly aggressive again, which I don't see happening, considering that they are mere plot bunnies, and my novel here has plot leviathans.
That aside, rest assured that I will, in all likelihood, still generate the random short story or other bit of fic in between leviathans. I do need breaks now and then. On a related note: anyone who hasn't done so already should watch the BBC series Sherlock, because it is amazing. I only finished watching it a week ago, and been browsing the fandom's fanfiction selection for a week, and I've written my own fic for it that's about 11,000 words long. I'm not "jumping ship" to the Sherlock fandom, but I will admit that I'm having a very satisfactory illicit affair with it.
So.
About that time, eh, chaps?
Righto.
I'm going to be doing a bit of moving on from here. I may even start using this journal as something of a journal. We shall see. Cheers, mates.
