Ficcish Update

I signed up for the marvel_bang! :)

Frankly, I thought I was going to bypass any Big Bang this year as I had no ideas as the sign-up dates approached. Wasn't that big a deal since I've been writing Big Bangs since 2011 and nothing was materializing for the dcu_bang and marvel_bang, so I decided to see if I could get inspiration from Captain America 3: Civil War. Even after that it was sketchy but with a couple of days before sign-ups closed, I got inspiration! :)

The Raven And The Nightingale is stalled after I thought it was revving up again, but such is the way of things. I think I'll do some more research while waiting to write again. It's just too much fun to relegate to never getting out of the notebook stage. :)

I've got two birthday stories I owe and happily am working on one and have an idea for the other.

I've got some stories that are still in the notebook stage. One's a Jurassic Park tale that I wrote last year in a flurry of inspiration after seeing the first film again and those fun 'n' sexy scientists, Alan and Ian! :)

I've got a Steve/Bucky tale inspired by Age Of Ultron that's just been sitting in the Unsatisfied pile. I may try and fix that up.

And I've been editing a Clark/Bruce story told from the POV of Lois, one of my favorite things. :)

Still working on my Han/Luke comfort food fic. Comfort food: a fic that has no deadline and is generally fairly long so that I can enjoy the writing with no pressure. Even my own Challenges and Big Bangs have slight pressure. You have to work on a deadline fic while comfort food is worked on when hungry, er, in the mood. :)

I might even take a crack at the clexmas Spring Fling! Reverse Bang. I hadn't intended to but the art submissions are pretty intriguing, so who knows? That's in the 'Maybe' queue. :)

So it looks like my marvel_bang story will be a summer project. Maybe I can spin a few seaside tales this summer, too. :)

:sigh: I miss challenges. Aside from Yuletide Treasures I have gotten into such a rut of never being able to complete anything in time, though, that there's not much point in signing up anymore.

I envy you for being able to meet them.

But wait a minute... Alan Grant and Ian Malcolm? You're writing Alan/Ian? Okay, I may have to look at that. :grin:

True! If you keep dropping out it's kind of tough to sign up. Perhaps you could choose something that has a very minimum word count or lengthy window to give you time? If you are interested in a challenge that is usually every year, why not write something months before sign-up and then you're good to go when the challenge begins? :)

Heh, yep, I wrote a flurry of fics for the boys last year. You can easily find them here on LJ by clicking on Jurassic Park I or Alan Grant/Ian Malcolm, and of course you can find them on AO3, too. I'll have to dig out that last one. I'm sure there's one more somewhere in my recent notebooks. :)
