Yeah, BigBang... I'm trying to get that one done like right NOW, so I won't go all frantic. I'm well underway with 30k and an estimated 70%. I'm hoping to be done by the end of the month (which of course I won't be but I can always set high goals, right?)
Well, my idea was a mix of clichés with a little pepper here and there... So, Jensen was dating Danneel (in my head she's Jen's wife, as always that's optional) in college for a while when he wasn't sure what his preferences were. She got pregnant but she actually refuse to marry him... They stayed good friends and then Danneel got sick (optional: Pancreatic cancer which has a maximum survival of 2 years). Danneel's mom said she'd want custody of the child if her daughter would die. But Danneel is not on good terms with her mom and doesn't want their son to live with that woman. Since Jensen moved in with her anyway to help her through chemo, they decided to marry to give the mother no leverage whatsoever law-wise. Well, in my head, Jared meets Jensen while Danneel is already pretty far in her disease because Jensen is totally stressed out from work + child + sick wife and he starts yoga to have one hour a week to get rid of the tension... and when he finds out Jensen is married, he ends their starting relationship because he doesn't know the whole story.
So... what do you think? Too much soap opera drama? Not enough?
Honey, that is SO close to what I was thinking, though as always, I was missing the bits to keep it together :p. But the past, the kid, the Daneel, all there :). Wicked!! I've had this thing lately where I've wanted to write kid-fic so that will be fun...
Big Bang isn't due until summer, though, isn't it? Well done for getting that far, is it a 50 K limit? I wish I had the bravery to enter, it seems like everybody's doing it this year! (yeah, I totally want in in the "cool crowd" lol)
great, we're of one mind there then ^^ The minimum limit is 20k (so yeah, passed that 5 days ago) and there us no max limit. I have to hand in a 20k draft by May 1, which wouldn't be tragic if the story didn't have to be at least roughly finished. I write linear. I can't jump ahead of my time line and once it's written I hardly edit at all. So for me that means the fic has to be done by May 1 which is still like 3 1/2 months, but the muse is there now and I'd be stupid not to use all of it.
I did art last year, but I had this bunny completely dine and the first 14k neatly stowed away before sign ups already, so I figured 20 wouldn't be that far anymore, you know?
And yeah, you were pretty much good to go then, good for you! As I've said before, your stories looked great so I hope I'll find the concentration to read one soon :)
