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.

Date: Sunday, August 8th, 2010 07:18 (UTC)I want to write a fic about why Gilmore Girls feels so special to me and that is quite the Project of the Century.
I still want to write this parody idea I thought about a long time ago.
To be honest at this point I just want to write something that's me, not someone else. I love humour and banter and a quick pace and eccentricities and meta. Character development and angst is not me. Being in-character probably is. So yes, trying to write that :) Perhaps I'll switch to original fiction for a while.

Date: Sunday, August 8th, 2010 10:55 (UTC)Hehehehe. Me, I have the opposite problem: I find it much harder to be funny. (Not necessarily saying I succeed when I try to do character development or angst, but it's at least easier for me to write.) I find well-done humorous fic to be impressive b/c it's so out of my own range. ;)
Meta embedded into fic is awesome, so good luck w/that GG fic if you ever decide to try it. And good luck if you decide to move to original fic for a while too. :)
