Half-fanfic/Half-original

[moonshayde]

That is where my brain is right now.

Fanfic
Still obsessed with fic of the Supernatural variety, though I've been a little nostalgic for SG-1 lately. And Smallville. But currently, I've been spending some time working on my wing!fic series for SPN. The sad part is that I have most of the series planned out and I have fun with it. It gives me something to work on that's a bit stress free. I've just struggled with having the time. I'd say that I'm about 3/4 of the way through the current fic I'm writing in the series. If I'm lucky, I'll finish another scene tonight.

I'm about near the climax and then I'll have the wrap up scenes. As always, my philosophy on LJ is not to post it until it's finished or a couple of scenes away from completed. However, I'm not as anal about it on fanfiction.net where I've posted a few chapters to see how it would look. I don't read WIPs myself, but if anyone is interested in the wing!fic universe, you can check out the first four chapters there: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9284489/1/The-Second-Deviation

No worries if you pass. I'll post it here for anyone interested when it's done anyway. :)

Original
As for my original stuff, I had a breakthrough this month and it's taken a new direction. The first time in a long time I feel like I know what I'm doing with it. It's a good feeling. It's hard to explain. but I think it's some kind of combo X-Files meets Warehouse 13 meets Supernatural. That's a guesstimate. Contemporary/urban fantasy is my main genre of writing. I tend to sway towards anything with a supernatural or paranormal flare. I'm interested to see where this rewrite takes me. I also need to work on some other works to send back to an editor interested in my stuff.

How goes the writing front with my writer friends?

like a dog to its vomit, I have returned to my folly Namely, I've taken to poking at some of my eternal WIPs again. There's the Dean/Cassie fic that was for the *2011* Reverse Big Bang. (Officially, I published it, but it wasn't really done. So shame on me.) I may actually have a chance of finishing it at some point before the heat death of the universe. I say Dean/Cassie, but man, it still feels so gen. Which is to say, to me it feels like a story about the people, not the relationship. The vibe I get from reading it over isn't shippy, it's more like...oh, the way running into someone who knew you way back when somehow bridges the gap between now and your younger self,makes you see things in a new way.... and that's when I'm trying to be shippy. I may throw in some sex just to prove to myself that I can quit writing gen any time I want ;). And that's just the beginning of the pile. I have a few other stories weighing on my conscience.

But I am so excited for your wing!verse fic. So I am a terrible hypocrite, because my reaction is, "write! write more! I LOVE THIS STORY!"

Yay! :) I need that feeling again re: my trilogy. It's been on hiatus all year; hit a roadblock last November. Something about the plot stopped working for me, so I've been slowly going through the whole thing trying to find the 'problem area'.

In the meantime, I've been working on a book series idea. Spec fic (fantasy/scifi) again, but more modern-day. My protagonist is an OC from one of my Smallville fanfics. :D I've figured out the plots and titles for the first 5 books, as well as a few recurring characters. I am writing him into another 'fanfic', but it's mostly for my own enjoyment and working out his characterisation - especially how he interacts with other people.

I won't get started on the actual book series until my trilogy is done (& almost-ready for publishing). But having this series project in-the-works makes me especially eager to get the trilogy story complete.

I'm glad you're writing and know where to take it!

I can't remember the last time I wrote any fiction. I've signed up for an SG-1 friendship ficathon to make myself do something.
