What fics/fanvids/other creative works are you hoping to start, work on, or finish this year? Right. RIGHT. I have a WIP I need to work on and a bunch of little sequels to things that I want to get done, including three more for a demon AU 'verse. I liked the things I wrote last year, but it was not a productive year for me. In 2017 I need to finish more things. Also I want to make some icons, just for fun.
Can we have a short three-line quote or teaser? She takes on human form as Clint finishes setting up a long-distance target at SHIELD’s indoor range. Watches the draw and release of his bow, the play of muscles beneath his skin, and then steps up alongside him, shoulder to shoulder, and raises her gun. A Glock - the kind she is beginning to favour. One, two, three shots, hitting three of the arrows embedded in the heavy-duty target. Feathers fluttering down like a grievance of angels.
Have you made any new year's resolutions or have any 2017 goals? I didn't make any resolutions, because I'm awful at keeping them. But! ( ... )

Adding Patrick Stewart and Laura (if it is her?) has definitely upped my interest! And god I am such a sucker for found family :D

LOVE the idea of an ATTF about titles! I know mine are always such a Process, so I'd love to know how everyone else chooses!

OMG SO MANY! I HAVE SO MANY! Um, but here are a few that I want to finish...

1. Six Sexy Words, which is a collection of 50 ficlets. I have about 6 prompts in the queue that I've been struggling with and 6 that are still unclaimed by anyone.
2. A Person of Interest crossover with Shaw & Nat
3. A Nat/T'Challa thing which has a solid middle but no beginning or end
4. Bucky/Steve/Peggy in 1940s
5. A handful of OT3 Natasha/Bobbi/Clint ficlets

And if anyone wants to push me into writing a Bruce/Betty follow up to my hockey AU, feel free to push. I'm not sure how I feel about that one proceeding from a loose outline to an actual fic. ;)

Can we have a short three-line quote or teaser?

From the T'Challa fic:
"As lovely as my garden is, it is not as lovely as what we shared last night. So clearly something has kept you from enjoying a leisurely morning in my bed. I wish to understand what." He paused and when no further comment was made, asked, " ( ... )

Look at you with your list of fic to write, ooo and some OT3s in there, nice! Yeah, I need to pick ONE FIC AT A TIME or I'm going to end yet another yet with lots written and nothing finished *sigh*.

I like your guidelines :)

Yay for family film trip! And haha, yes, ALL the books *grins*

ATTF help always welcome ;)

Despite having never watched POI, I'm intrigued by this crossover!!

kiss_me_cassie January 7 2017, 02:07:24 UTC
Aww, if you ever get a chance, watch POI! Shaw (who is also a detached killer) doesn't come into it until halfway through the run, but she is my absolute favorite of the characters. (Oh, who am I kidding? I love all of them.)

UGH I'm having a writing crisis because I've posted pretty much everything I have that I actually like. That being said:
-I have this series of mini-fics, all set along a rough timeline and each with their own prompt, but there's only four so far so I need more ideas/prompts to keep it going... Maybe posting will help, but posting a WIP with no end in sight stresses me out... aka help welcome!
-I've wanted to continue the post-Cap2 thing I wrote by incorporating Carol into the team and then doing a rewrite of AOU with her
-If I can figure out what the hell happens next, I want to continue my florist/tattoo AU
-Just participated in the Steve/Maria secret santa and thinking about continuing it with a series of missing scenes??
(-I have this silly Olympics AU hahaha that's never getting finished)

Can we have a short three-line quote or teaser?(from the little mini-fic series ( ... )

Awww... if it's a series of related mini-fics but not just a contnous one shot, I don't think it matters if it stays a WIP? Or maybe that's just me. My .02

I really need to read all those Steve/Marias. Also all the Clint/Kate and Bucky/Nat holiday things. GAH! TOO MUCH FIC TO READ! ::goes and soothes myself with more andibeth fic::

Ooooh! I like that fic sampling. More please?

Cetaphil as a moisturizer. It's light but deeply penetrating without greasiness or clogging pores. In very cold, very dry New Hampshire, I've found it to be a godsend. More unsolicited advice. Sorry, not sorry. :)

Cetaphil is my jam!

And I think I'll post the rest of this teaser sometime this week on AO3 and see how it goes!

What fics/fanvids/other creative works are you hoping to start, work on, or finish this year? Haha, like everything I started last year and never finished? There's this hunger games au that I said I'd finish and I never did. I am also DETERMINED to finish my clintasha wild west au. Oh, and to write some Chinese history RPF about the only female Emperor in Chinese history. :D

Can we have a short three-line quote or teaser?
From the Hunger Games AU:
Five weeks of the Arena has reduced her into little more than flesh and bone, skin wrapped around sinewy muscle and her once enviable shade of hair is two shades lighter - dark copper instead of deep crimson. Her cheeks are hollow from malnutrition and her eyes are bloodshot from the countless nights spent awake, waiting for the sound of footsteps behind her back.

(Her body is her deadliest weapon, and it has been bruised and beaten beyond recognition.)

Have you made any new year's resolutions or have any 2017 goals? Um, finish everything I said I'd finish. Oh, and pay attention in ( ... )

Good luck with the creativity! Chinese empress sounds interesting - I didn't even know there was one! And yes, the Hunger Games AU sounds intriguing as well.

Love the fortune cookie...

Her name is Wu Zetian and she is AMAZING. She brought down the patriarchy and established herself as Emperor of her own dynasty, and, of course, butthurt men tried to paint her in a bad light after she died - but the truth is, if men did what she did (kill officials, family members) no-one would question them. NO-ONE (well, no woman) was able to do what she did - man, she had consorts. And somewhat of a female prime minister. I JUST LOVE HER.

and thanks! ❤

What fics/fanvids/other creative works are you hoping to start, work on, or finish this year?Well. I have this fic snippet I started on some time ago, in which Maria Hill is seen to be interviewing a parade of Clint's former flames for reasons unknown. One of these days I'll finish that! Also, there's a Voyager WIP that's actually 1/3 posted, which I get plaintive PMs and reviews about every other week... Hmmm ( ... )

That teaser is AMAZING and I need more asap. Also, totally agree about a WIP Wednesday!

alphaflyer January 7 2017, 18:01:41 UTC
WIP Wednesday was great (it helped me get a grip on Highway of Diamonds) but I thought of it as a one-time ATTF, rather than bring back the whole thing. But I do like the idea...
