So! We're here at the start of another WIP challenge month. Let's start off by talking a little bit about the fic(s) we'll be working on. I know in the past I've asked people what they thought they'd find challenging about their stories, but let's begin this month talking about what's going to be awesome about our fics!
What bits do you like already from what you've written? Do you have a thrilling plot in your head waiting to be written down? Is this fic going to showcase a character that you think needs more love? Maybe this is the first time you're writing a plotty fic or a multi-chaptered fic or a smutty fic? Let us know!

Date: Saturday, October 1st, 2011 21:12 (UTC)* a due South/Bandom (MCR) femslash fic that I'm feeling ridiculously protective about 'cause one half of the pairing is an MtF person. Thankfully, my BFF (who's usually my sounding board) is totes excited to see this fic done (she keeps poking me about it enough for me to have worked out the outline way in advance.) I'm equal parts amused and intrigued as femslash is not her thing AT ALL. I'm at 7k words; aiming at 12k when the rough draft is done. It's deffo going to be NC-17.
* a Bandom (MCR) AU for said BFF. It's an AU. I've got 2.5k words down and about 8-10k more to go. There's nothing but a skeleton outline for this one--something I usually try to avoid since that means I might lose interest in the story since I don't know how it's going to end. I also have to do some crazy amounts of research since it's set in the real world (the AU part is that the Bandom peeps aren't in a band.) This one might end up being a soft-ish R.

Date: Sunday, October 2nd, 2011 13:18 (UTC)Oooh, interesting -- I love hearing how people's minds work wrt their writing. I pretty much never outline, but I never write fic longer than about 6k anyway, so it would probably have limited use for me. Regardless I often start fics not knowing how they're going to end. :D
There isn't enough trans fic out there, so best wishes for your story!
