What are you working on right now?

[littlebutfierce]

What's everyone working on lately? If you don't want to give specifics, maybe you just want to rant (or rave!), or ask for help, or just say that yes, thank goodness, there IS some kind of idea rattling around in your brain. Or something else. I like cheerleading, so if anyone needs any, shout. ;)

I'm working on at least 3 Oofuri fics (& none of them specifically for the kink meme, woe). One of them is a more unusual (at least in my head) pairing, one is a futurefic (I almost never get ideas for futurefics, dunno why), & one is another female masturbation fic (this seems to come up a lot in my fic! All my ladies touch themselves, hooray!).

They're all at various stages of approaching the point where I really will need another eye on them, but are all also stymieing me in slightly different ways (also NAMES & HONORIFICS, need I say they always stymie me?). I've been inching forward with them, & every time I leave one for a few days I come back & discover it's not as crappy as I'd feared but that it still needs loads of work. I just feel like I need more stamina & more faith right now or I might end up abandoning them, which would suck as they're close! Sorta kinda!

I also have half-written a Tam Lin (the Pamela Dean novel) fic that I tried to crank out for the Porn Battle, but I don't think it will ever go anywhere, or not without a LOT of work.

I have a couple of other things in very embryonic stages but they're the sorts of things I don't want to mention lest I scare the ideas back into hiding.

I'm working on a fic in Arthurian fandom, about a character who isn't the POV character very often (Morgause). It's tricky because I can feel the emotional seed of what I'm looking for, and I can sort of envision the trajectory of it, but I still feel like I'm missing something critical. So I've written like 5 pages of "notes" and read an academic essay (!!) and I'm thinking that tomorrow I might sit down & try to freewrite & just see where that takes me. It's tricky; I think this has a lot of potential & I want to it right!

If you need at beta reader for the Tam Lin thing, I think you know who to call. -___^

I AM SO GLAD TO SEE YOU IN THIS POST!!!!!!1

I am your biggest fan cheerleader. No, er, that's creepy. But regardless, YAYFACE FOR YOUUUUUUUU!

I like fic revolving around less central characters, or characters who just don't, for whatever reason, get their POVs used much. Er, I like to read it & I like to write it.

Yay for notes & preparation! Good luck freewriting tomorrow!

And, uh, yeah. If you can think of kinky-ass texts that Janet & Thomas might've read during their years at Blackstock, LET ME KNOW OR YOU MAY NEVER HAVE A FIC TO BETA. ;_;

Heeee, I actually thought about the fact that me posting might make you squee. ;)

So far, the fic is still stymieing me, but it's a fun thought experiment so I think I'll keep poking at it.

I'm thinking on it! If I come up with anything juicy I shall pass it on to you!

Yes, I am v. predictable sometimes. ;)

Poke away, I say! (HAR HAR.)
