Ahahahaha oh my god, it's a WIP titles meme, totally ganked from sorrynotsorry et al. THIS SAYS A LOT ABOUT MY WRITING PROCESS: to wit, that it is a mess. These are actual titles of actual documents, and I actually know what (almost) all of them mean. Also, enough of them contain parentheses--in the RIDICULOUS DOC TITLES THAT ARE NOT ACTUALLY FIC TITLES--that I ( Read more... )

Can I just express how very, very impressed I am that you remember what most of these are? My docs actually have the titles they're supposed to have (er, well, most of the time) and I still forget what the ones I've not touched in a while are.

Your memory is clearly very good, which has to be good for some kind of health (I think), and you are not held to producing any of these. Former Girl Scout promise.

Addendum: WIP titles meme. Are commenters supposed to list theirs as well? *fails epically at Internet things no matter the answer to this question*

I think that

a) I only remember what most of these are because there is some kind of wire loose in my brain that allows me to remember things only when I write them in crazed half-sane code and
b) I think if you have them you are supposed to post your own? I DON'T KNOW, I AM PANTS AT FOLLOWING RULES :D

If it works, then it works. And we all have wires loose. Mine causes connections to be made that lead to a crossover series that spans eight fandoms. Wacky fic titles are just a sign of unique organizational system. :)

And in that case, even though rules are not entirely known...

Tudors
Standing Outside the Fire
Spanish Pride, English Prejudice
Souls Run In Circles
Snapshots of a Royal Family (oneshot series, who the hell knows if it counts? Also my Tudor fics all have 'S' titles, or the ones not on hiatus do, WTF?)

Inception
When The World Stops Turning
Kamikaze Airplanes
Untitled A/E (fuck I need a real title for this at some point)
Illumination
New Kids In Town

Multifandom
A Moment To Be Real (just listing the series, because really, too many fics partly done to list individually. Then again, eight fandoms. I think.)
Never Left Behind (Inception, meet Burn Notice. Arthur and Michael are BAMFy buddies.)

I should probably spend more time doing coursework. I'll worry if/when my grades drop.

On the other hand, I would LOVE to see the Werewolves of London fic, because that song is just screaming for it like a scarlet woman.

Ahahahahaha okay THAT STORY has been languishing on my hard drive for, seriously, a year. It is 24,000 words long and unfinished, written in five different POVs, and will probably never be finished because it's such a hot mess of OH MY GOD WHY DIDN'T I JUST PICK ONE POV AND STICK TO IT.

Okay the whole idea of anything Gatsby in White Collar, LET ME GO SMILE GLEEFULLY INTO MY HANDS.

These are actually pretty descriptive!

I HAVE WANTED TO DO A GATSBY FIC FOR EVERY FANDOM I'VE BEEN IN. But I never quite figure out how to pull it off. That one came closest, I think--it would have been Neal as Gatsby, Peter as Nick, El as Jordan, Mozzie as Klipspringer and Kate as Daisy. ALAS.

It's probably as good a fit as can be had, really. :D

OMG, just the titles have filled me with so much glee that I'm cackling here in my room. Loudly.

Thank god the roomie's not home. He already thinks I'm crazy, no need to actually confirm it.
