The problem with writing Star Trek fic is that I keep wanting to make at least glancing nods towards science, which results in me spending way too much time wiki-walking. I started by looking up planetary rings and ended by reading about Lagrange point science missions, Lissajous orbits, and colonization pros and cons, by which point I realized I ( Read more... )

I said I had no idea when I would get around to ch. 17 of "Lemonade." Apparently, I am getting around to it now-ish? Anyway, Faith's POV section is done in rough draft at 850 words ( Read more... )

Here, after a year and four months, is chapter 16 of "Lemonade." For those of you who have forgotten that I was even writing this, it is a story that really ought to be crack but which I am treating completely seriously because I like a challenge. *grin ( Read more... )

Chapter 16 of "Lemonade" is done in rough draft. Now I am going to sit on it for a day or two to get some perspective and sand off the worst kludgy bits. (This may very likely include ditching the random discussion of English grammar and putting in actual interesting conversation instead. *headdesk*) It will be up Tuesday night at the latest ( Read more... )

Here is chapter 15 of "Lemonade." I am not switching this story up on my priority list. Sasuke's POV scene just happened to smack me in the face last night, so I finished this chapter. I am not at all sure that the scene is any good, but it wanted to be written, so here it is. *shrug*

( Lemonade, Part XV )

I gacked this from ladylisse (and then tweaked it a fair bit). The idea is to post the first lines from ten of your recent or in-progress stories. I decided (since I won't have anything ready to post in the near future), that I might throw up some slightly longer excerpts. Fanfiction only.

( The Transient and the Eternal )

Here is chapter 14 of "Lemonade." I think it stinks like a stinking thing, but unfortunately the sensible story flow transition -- having the storm arrive at the start of Sasuke's POV section -- would put the chapter break in a weird place, so I'm left with a sense of filler. *sigh ( Read more... )

I'm not thrilled about this chapter, but I think it does what it needs to do in terms of plot and character development, and I can't figure out how to cover the same ground better, so here it stands. If you can think of useful changes, I'm all ears!

( Lemonade, Part XIII )

I don't know where exactly Sasuke thinks he's taking this story -- he's the one I need to persuade in order to get a threesome out of this scenario -- but I'm willing to play along for now. I'm willing to play along with Faith, too, who keeps pulling minor character moments out of nowhere and acting like she can't understand why I'm surprised. ( Read more... )
