Anti-story because I am never going to actually write it, you see. This is just, like--

(does a word count)

Well, shit.

This is nine thousand fucking words worth of a post-Children of Earth Torchwood story outline, where I try to fix the whole Ianto thing without retconning the world. It's an epistolary stream-of-conscious blathery outline ( Read more... )

Okay. Because I am a moron and have evidently decided that the old "write what you know" adage is for wusses, I have written myself into a couple linguistic corners in the Inception story I'm currently trying to finish. Here are the problems:

1. I have Ariadne speaking French to someone who is a native Castelrotto, Italy. This character's ( Read more... )

So here's the thing: I'm doing a major rewrite on an Inception story right now, and there's this 5k word fragment1 of a White Collar heist fic sitting next to it in my Works in Progress folder, and I keep opening it up and thinking, "Damn, I really like this story." Which is a good thing, right? Because it's good to like what you've written ( Read more... )

Blast. You know, I have six different stories in the works right now, but I'm just not feeling any of them at the moment. So. Clearly, I need to work through the block.

This is where you come in ( Read more... )

So I've had this sitting on my hard drive for a bloody year and a half, and I think it's probably time to admit that I'm not going to finish it. Or at least, I'm not going to finish it for a good long while, and it will make me feel better to just go ahead and put this out there. Besides, several of the main characters I'm writing about are now ( Read more... )

So I've been working on this story since-- god. Let's just call it a year, even though I think it's been longer than that. (I think I could figure out the exact date by looking at the sga_flashfic archives, but that would just be depressing. I started writing it for the "superpowers" challenge, if that rings a bell for anyone.) At any rate, after a year of ( Read more... )

1. Am working on a DCU story at the moment. Right now Dick is watching Saturday morning cartoons sprawled on his couch. (Or. *Dick* is sprawled on his couch, not the Saturday morning cartoons. Because that would be strange, and also probably a sign that he was tripping out.) He has a big jagged cut tracing up the outside of his left thigh-- ( Read more... )

I am taking a break from writing at the moment (trying to finish the Timfinity story of Death and Epic Length), and because I can think of nothing better to do with my time, I will post my writing notes, as I had too much fun with them to let them never see the light of day:

( Notes for Red Sky )

I loathe writer's block. And unfortunately, I'm one of those who winds up with it every third word. It's easy enough for me to pound out fourteen pages of a thirty page term paper the night before it's due, but give me a 1000 word limit and two weeks for creative writing, and I'm sunkSo ( Read more... )
