I wish...

[neevebrody]

I'm sure some of my WIPs will no doubt have me contemplating just that... writing porn, that is. Anyway, we have internet again at work, so I thought I'd do the WIP meme and answer later when I get home.

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous

Crossdressing John!

I can figure out the gist of it, but what are the particulars? ;)

[neevebrody]

It's an AU where John and Rodney meet by arrangement. John is a specialized "escort" with an exclusive clientele. Rodney is unaware at first that Jo is a man, and the relationship has to basically build from the ground up when he finds out.

Kavanaugh is the meeting facilitator.

[gaffsie]

Oooh, I see. Sounds like a good read.

[mezzo_cammin]

It's a toss-up between tattoo fic and Rashomon fic, which I don't think you've told me about.

Um. Rashomon.

No. Tatoo.

No, wait. Rashomon. Okay, yeah. That one.

I really, really want you to finish the Brendan/Dean first time fic and the sequel to Lament of Consequences, but looking at that list - I can see why you have a hard time choosing where to go, which one to do, etc.

[neevebrody]

Uhm... I'm still looking for my fic. *panics a bit* I had several fleshed out scenes but either that file is called something unrecognizable or it's one I lost when my flashdrive died. I'll have to comb through the recovered files. Ugh. But here's a note about it and there's a tattoo snippet below

[mezzo_cammin]

Oh, wow - see, I love that whole concept (I think I first saw it done on Thirtysomething, but didn't know that was what it was called), of one scene being portrayed from the different viewpoints, all of whom are sort of unreliable narrators.

Cool beans - this sounds so very, very good!! I hope it's one you get around to finishing some day.

I remember most of what you told me about the tattoo fic - which is why I really, really, hope you find it. :o)

Yay meme! Yay writing!!! ♥

ETA: And by find I meant finish. :::facepalm::

[neevebrody]

The tattoo fic I have - it's the Rashomon fic I can't find, and I think I was well past 5k on it too. Hopefully, it will turn up - if not, I've got that 'basic idea' doc that I took the snippet from. And, you know, I at first thought I'd be mild with the treatment of the attack, but now I'm just going to write the story as I saw it in the first place. May be dark and triggery, but it will make for a better story and that seems to be all I really care about at the moment.

Oh, and you and Mischief will probably not see the first draft of the Hewligan before I send it in - unless a major miracle occurs. I hate to do that to the artist, but with the type of story it is, they'll be able to get plenty enough to do the art.

[fredbassett]

Impressive list!

OK, how about Grounded?

[neevebrody]

Grounded is undergoing a major re-work due to character issues. I started this back in 2008 and went on to other things when it stalled out on me

[fredbassett]

Oooh, I really like the look of this!

[melagan]

Crossdressing John...that wouldn't be the pirate one by chance?

I never expected to have a wip folder and yet somehow I do. There are currently four things I'm poking a pen at and I am absolutely squashing the rest until these are done.

Except of course, getting sidetracked by BJF and Steamy Sunday.
Oh dear, oh dear.

[neevebrody]

Uhm, not the crossdressing one I was thinking of... the Pirate one I only have thoughts down for, no actual writing. Though I promise, I am going to write it.

I wish I had your ability to stick with something and finish it before moving on. It's like I have writer's ADD, actually that's exactly what it is.

We love it when you get sidetracked, though, there's always such wonderful results. ;) Here's a bit of the fic I've designated as crossdressing:

Rodney checks his watch and looks around the bar again. Someone catches his eye… she's tall, short dark hair, done up real spiky, sexy. She's dressed in a black linen sheath with jacket; her face is slender and chiseled, long neck accentuated by a colorful silk scarf. Their eyes meet and she smiles, eyes framed by dark lashes and that stirs Rodney, gets him hard. Rodney's throat dries when he sees she's coming his way. He doesn't believe it's possible. He takes a sip of his beer, almost spilling it down his shirtfront.

[melagan]

*g* Rodney is going to be in sooo much trouble...

I need to get side-tracked with Brendan and Vincent a lot more often. I feel I'm sadly neglecting the boys.

[neevebrody]

You probably think I'm neglecting them, too. I'm not really. I have the public sex one done, it just needs a final polish - but my Hewligan draft is due the 19th... *panics - seriously panics*

[trillingstar]

Fendersmith's Tale? I'm intrigued!

[neevebrody]

Man, this is an old one, started by a prompt from someone on my flist. They wanted a story, Regency era, about a master fendersmith and a flagman. I found that kind of hard to resist at the time and never finished it because other stuff kept getting in the way

[trillingstar]

I love historical fiction! John and Rodney in formal uniforms! The language and the social strata and all of it. I have absolutely no idea where you're going with this story and I think it's TERRIFIC.
