I'm writing a sequel to a Due South story I wrote ten years ago where two of the female characters are spies. In the first story, they were undercover and had to escape the bad guys when their identities were discovered. In this one, an important person is going to disappear, and they've got to go undercover in a fictional South American country to find out what happened to him.
What are you writing about this year? (Whoops. I forgot you said already. It sounds interesting! Are you all outlined and stuff?)
Oh, how interesting! That sounds like a plot out of Scarecrow and Mrs. King or something (in a good way) :D. Is the first Due South fic posted online?
I'm pretty much decided on the more disconnected set of apocalypse- themed stories. I'm definitely rebelling this year, as I'd already started two of them (one where aliens invade earth and a group of people escape from a prison camp and hide out together, another where, in a postapocalyptic future, a girl gets cast out of her village and excommunicated from society and travels the country by herself) a while back but had mostly abandoned them. Hopefully those two will each be somewhere between 7-15k (I'm fairly awful at predicting wordcount though, lol), and I have some basic ideas, though I'm still trying to outline a bit more, several shorter stories to finish out the month with :).
Yep. You can find the first story here. My writing style has changed a bit since then, but I still like it. :) I'm hoping that I don't flake on the sequel, since I've been wanting to write it on and off for years.
I actually have got Due-South on my to-watch list, so I am bookmarking your fic to read it as soon as I get acquainted with canon - maybe I'll make marathoning eps my reward for nano :).
And thank you! I'm hoping I get at least several stories done all right :).
