I have new shoes. I need more hours in the day. And there's nothing but sex on the telly. Seriously. Cmedy show. Sex. Soap opera. Sex. Animal documentary. Sex. Sex. Sex. Sex. Even the boring artsy-fartsy channel, the one that usually does history and art, is running something about porn in the seventies. I hate the telly.
Now that that's said, I keep switching between writing and studying and have been for days. It makes for aching wrists and a confused mind and... a load of WiPs, which are progressing nicely and still not going anywhere because I cannot do short. Goddamn.
To commemorate that fact, let's have a little meme:
Stories, facts, first lines.
+
1. Untitled 2 Fast 2 Furious story in which I try to put Brian and Verone together and make it convincing. 5k.
Brian meets Carter Verone during his first month in Miami.
2. Fearless on my Breath The sequel to
The Art of Running, rewriting 2 Fast 2 Furious. 12k. Brain eater.
It’s been a year, and Dom still isn’t used to waking alone most mornings.
3. Twist and Weave is the sequel to
Lines and a working title. Currently at 23k, it follows Doctor Who's series five. In a way.
Buffy tumbled into soft green grass, rolled with the impact and ended up on her feet.
4.
Some You Lose is slow going but finally getting post-movie. Currently at 37k and I am so not going to give you all the first sentences for that one. Spoilers! Sorry, wrong fandom.
5. A Hunter's Guide to Zombies and Guns 43k and finally, finally there is an ending in sight. If y'all are good and I find a beta, the next part of the
Road to Morning series might get posted by summer break.
“Ahem,” Dean coughed none too covertly, bouncing on the heels of his feet, hands in pockets, trying to pretend his gunshot wound wasn’t killing him.
6. Bloodshed in C Minor, the Glee
vamp!AU. It's advancing at miniscule speeds. And by miniscule I mean two sentences every other week. 11k.
Puck would like to clear something up once and for all: Being a vampire? Is boring.
7. Mayflies is the Twilight All Human AU plot monster that I've been secretly crying about for the past two months. 38k.
The day Edward Cullen broke up with Bella Swan for the fifth time, was also the day everything started to fall apart.
8. a dream within a trail of sparks is a Suki/Brian story. Okay, it's a ficlet. Mostly. 1k.
“Done,” Suki declares, stretching from her crouch next to Brian’s Skyline and dropping the rag she used to polish the metal to perfection.
9. my life has stood (a loaded gun) is the FatF Specials!AU I have been threatening. 5k, probably all going to get scrapped sometimes soon. I don't like it.
You know that quote? The one from Spiderman?
10. Untitled Push story that's going to turn into Cassie/Nick, which is bad, bad, bad, but oh, so good. 3k.
It takes them a week to get out of Hong Kong and it’s possibly worse than the week before that because things were supposed to be over once they had the syringe, but they’re really not.
11. stain my fingers with your soul is an Inception let's-try-out-the-characters story that grew a massive plot and backstory. Okay, mostly a backstory. And Tattoos. So many tattoos. 10k.
Eames (who is not yet called Eames) slips through the bar’s late evening crowd with the ease of someone who spends too much time in places like these, scanning the place for dangers and a familiar face alike.
12. Untitled PotC ficlet, written in anticipation of the new movie. Technically finished at 2k but sort of lame.
Listen, lad, Listen, for this is the story of Captain Jack Sparrow, who sailed all seven seas and fought the Kraken and escaped from hell with nothing but his wit and good looks.
13. Roque's part of the
Shifter!Verse AU for the Losers fandom. Less than 1k and going in the completely wrong direction. Damn you, Roque!
Contrary to popular opinion, William Roque was not born with a tar pit of anger and hate bubbling in his guts.
14. Sweet Sixteen is a Glee future fic dealing with baby Beth, who is, in that story, not called Beth. 11k, nearing its end. Finally.
On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Elle (Elena Drisobel Andrews, but if you tell anyone about that goddamn embarrassing middle name, she’s gonna hurt you.) expects many things.
And finally
15. The chick!Jensen story I wrote one chapter for an age ago and then sort of forgot and now can't remember the rest of. Crappy, huh? Jensen/Roque/Cougar. Oh, yeah, baby. 5k
Jensen and Cougar come as a package deal.

Not listed here is anything I wrote less than 1k for and probably won't ever finish, nor the abandoned WiPs, nor anything I haven't actually started typing up yet. Obviously, this is the reason why I never have enough time to study. Damn you, life.
Also, if anyone feels the need to cheerlead, offer a beta job or, you know, kill a few plot bunnies, I'd totes appreciate that. Thank you.
Amen.
