I AM going to finish this story. I am. Eight and a half chapters done, out of ten. 28 000 words. Yeah ( Read more... )

So, I run into this "rec" for Malt & Mockery, which comments that it's a "decent fic" but that both Tony and House are out of character in it. What happens? Naturally, because of this one sentence at some completely random website I'm now once again worried to death that I can't keep my characters in character. I actually agree with that opinion: ( Read more... )

I've made a difficult decision: I'm going to try and write Iron & Irony 2 in its entirety before I start posting anything. It's going to be about the same length as the first story, 30 000 words, give or take a few thousand. I've never done a story this long this way, I'm used to doing long stories as WIPs - writing one chapter, posting it, and ( Read more... )

( Behind a cut, since this one is loooong, I could talk about my fic forever! )

I'm stuck in an annoying situation that's all new to me: I've got no less than four Iron Man fics that I'm working on at the moment. Usually, I want do to things one at a time, to be able to concentrate on them properly, and to be absolutely sure that I'll finish what I've started. I can't believe I let this happen.

Earlier, in other fandoms, even though I avoided romantic fic, I was very strict about pairings. I loathed Jack/Sam ship in the Stargate fandom, and even though I didn't ( Read more... )

Ugh. After I've just finished a story as long and time-taking as Iron & Irony, what happens? Naturally, I have another fic idea. This one, as ideas go, is completely cracked, but I think I've managed to turn it into a semi-serious story anyway. I can't write stuff that's just pure parody. I'm much too angsty and serious for that. So, I spent most ( Read more... )

I made this lj account a few years ago. I don't remember why, it had something to do with fanfic back then, too, but I never did anything with the account. At that time, I wrote Stargate SG-1 fanfic. At some point, I decided to try being more serious about it: have a story beta-read and revise it a few times so that it's all polished (before that, ( Read more... )
