2017 fic plans
My overall theme for fic in 2017: finish what I've started. I have a huge pile of WIPs dating from 2013, and I want to wrap up as many of them as I can, whether it's fully finishing and posting them or whether it's just polishing them and making WIP amnesty posts.
I bought a planner and went through with a tentative writing schedule. Bear in mind, I'm also planning to write a book this year, so I made allowances for that, too.
I'm starting the year with 44 WIPs, and I want to end it with 20.
Fics I want to wrap up in 2017:
HIGHEST PRIORITY: Hooked, You & Me, and the Holiday 2015 fills.
Hooked has three chapters left, and my goal is to post one per month starting in January.
You & Me will continue to be posted with two short, linked installments at a time, and I'm planning for there to be another five sets. Again, I'm planning to post one set per month starting in January.
On Monday I will begin a job that will take up a lot of my time, so I'm not sure how much I will be able to work on any writing. Therefore my priority until April (when this job ends) is to work on my book, Hooked, and You & Me. I'm not planning to post anything else until the job is over, with the possible exception of a WIP amnesty post for a 2013 rough draft that I polished a few weeks ago.
As for the holiday fills, I have four left to write. My goal is to start posting them in May, two per month.
HIGH PRIORITY: The longer fics that get Rabin and JJP together in Frat AU.
I posted the Markson and Taohun getting together fics to bookmark my 12 Days of Christmas project. Those were two really important landmarks for the AU, but I'm not done yet. Out of my ongoing Frat AU ship storylines, Rabin and JJP are definitely the ones that need to be more or less wrapped up this year. My current plan is for this to happen in the fall, but they do need to happen this year.
There are a few more Hongbin related backstory works that I want to finish this year, too. I have a story started about the first time he visited Kappa Tau, and I also want to write a piece about the early days of his friendship with Chanshik.
MEDIUM PRIORITY: Markson Porn Stars AU, N/Jackson Big Byung AU, Suchen Kushiel AU
These are all longer fics that I really want to wrap up this year. My plan is to time finishing and posting them for specific people's birthdays. Fingers crossed I can do it!
LOW PRIORITY: Markson A/B/O AU, Taovi Twelve Princes AU as a WIP amnesty
I really want this to be the year I finally finish and share an A/B/O fic of my own, but if it's not, I think we'll all live. The other fics are more important. As for the Taovi, I don't know if it's something anyone would look for even if I did wrap it up enough to post. I'm just really entertained by the idea of N as the fairy who helps gardener Ravi discover the secrets of the twelve dancing princes.
