All my ![[info]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) mini_nanowrimo peeps; please note that there's an important announcement on the comm. Anyone who has forgotten to post on a given day so far has a ONE TIME chance to recoup. If you would, spread the word.
Yesterday was a bad day and a bad day for writing. I made my word count, but I've been trying to do double or triple that every day and yesterday I wasn't even close.
On the other hand, the words I wrote were on Appetite, which pleases me. I don't want to let AKB stagnate all month (and there's no worry about that) but Appetite is really my focus. Or I would prefer it was my focus. I've been flitting between three different projects, really.
Started AKB 73 today. Writing for four year olds is HARD, yo.
I'm struggling with Appetite. I'm making new words, I don't hate the words I'm making (for the most part) but at the same time, I feel like I've lost some essential grasp of their characters that I had before and I feel like I lost the window into their world and I'm pressed against the wrong side of the glass, trying to peek through.
I'm doing this thing with my body right now where I feel like I don't know how to fit in it any more. I feel uncomfortable in whatever position I sit in and it's like I don't have any muscle memory for what my body "normally" likes to do, so I'm trying to fake it, but it's not working. It's really messing up my back and my neck and shoulders. And writing Appetite right now is a little like that. I'm HERE and I'm in the body, but I don't remember how it's supposed to move or sit or anything. There's no muscle memory.
...I suspect that made no sense to anyone but me. What can I say? I've had a rough week.

I need a distraction to keep myself from going postal. All help is appreciated.
To that end, TWO memes (take your pick):
Pick a paragraph (or any passage less than 500 words) from any fanfic I've written, and comment to this post with that selection. I will then give you a DVD commentary on that snippet: what I was thinking when I wrote it, why I wrote it in the first place, what's going on in the character's heads, why I chose certain words, what this moment means in the context of the rest of the fic, lots of awful puns, and anything else that you'd expect to find on a DVD commentary track.
You can find all my fic on my LJ/IJ/DW under the "fanfic" tag, or tag for a specific fandom, OR you can go to my archive page: Love Is Just A Bloodsport OR
Ask me either a broad [writing-related] question (i.e 'who is your cruelest character?', 'what is your most optimistic story?') or a specific question/request ('what world does ___ come from?', 'tell me about ___') and I will answer you. Or you can ask meta- questions like 'what was the inspiration for creating ____?'
Pretty much ask me anything about my fic and I'll ramble at you a bit.

I made pot roast last night. I'm picking at the carcass today. You know you have made some damn fine beef if it tastes just as good COLD the next day. NOM NOM NOM.
Well, I did it. I signed up for ![[info - community]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png) yuletide. And though I was tempted to sign up for more fandoms and more characters (and there was some last minute switching around), I stuck to my plan. So that happened.
I had another woeful moment today when I saw an advert for a holiday exchange ficathon for a fandom that I'm tangentially interested in and realized that my pairing of choice is so wacky that it seems unfair to ask anyone to write it and, simultaenously, I have nearly zero interest in writing the preferred pairing(s) in the fandom. This pairing rare-pairs crap is hard, yo! Most of the time I don't care so much because I'm writing whatever makes me happy and so it doesn't matter what anyone else ships, but when I want to be all join-y and stuff, it's vexing. My heyoka nature in a nutshell. But, one less ficathon to tear my hair out about, right?
Tangential to THAT, I feel like there's enough interest that I'm going to go ahead with the JDM ficathon. I don't have any more details than "Yeah, let's do that!" but I figure I have all of December, at least, to figure that out. So...more news when I have it!
As you can see, I finished the AKB chapter. Wrote 1400+ words on that, once I hit my groove, which was kind of awesome. The problem with writing in existing files is that I never have any good grasp of how much I've written until I finish and do the math.
Didn't work on anything else, for obvious reasons. And I have yet to do any writing today, which is making me feel like the biggest slacker in the world. I'll have to rectify that posthaste.

So, sometimes I go and read my "stories no one will write for me" tag, to amuse (or inspire) myself with the things I've come up with. And I didn't even remember this one, but it caught my eye today:
Okay, so I don't know about this one, it's PURE CRACK. But. I want someone (not me!) to write the To Wong Foo-esque story where Steve Carlson and Chris Kane are the diva drag queens that take little Jensen Ackles under their wing and try to teach him to be fabulous. Steve could be Patrick Swayze's Vida and Chris could be Wesley Snipes' Noxeema. And Jared could be Bobby-Ray, the straight boy that falls in love with Chi-Chi Jensen. And either Chad or Rosenbaum could be Sheriff Dollard, haunted by the touch of Miss Vida's junk. Except that, in keeping with my shifting interests, instead of Jared, I kind of want to make it Jeff, a grizzled widower who falls for the hopelessly crushing Jensen. Which would nicely combine with my desperate yearning for Drag-Torch-Singer!Jensen and Jeff, should I ever find the time and inclination to actually write this. Still: happy place. *hums*
Trine snippet: 263 words Trine is a story that I've wanted to write for a while and I have yet to figure out how to make all the pieces work. It came from a dream and making the logic work has proved surprisingly difficult. The basic premise is a married couple separately fall in love with the same guy (who reciprocates both their feelings) and, when they find out about each other's crush, they decide to try and make it work as a threesome. The snippet I wrote doesn't actually involve ANY of the main plotline; it was something atmospheric that had been plucking at my attention, but I'm not happy with how the snippet turned out. I may give it another try today. Still, I wrote it, the words exist. I didn't delete it all in a fit of pique. So that counts. AKB 72: 707 words. Well, for all my brow clutching about which scene would be next, one scene came to the front and has basically demanded to be told. I think I'm still going to write the other scene, but I've been waiting for this chapter for a LONG TIME NOW and I'm glad to finally be writing it, even if I'm not sure I'm hitting all the mood/atmosphere notes I want. Nothing on Appetite, which is mildly vexing, but it was still on my mind for much of the day, even if I didn't put down the verbiage. I think I'm in a prewriting mode with that, trying to mentally feel out the scene before I put fingers to keyboard. Yesterday was a difficult day. A lot of RL stress on pretty much all fronts. I'm both pleased and surprised at how much writing I managed to get done, for all of that.

I'm not heavily into black teas other than chai anymore, but I have an ongoing fondness for Bigelow's Constant Comment, especially in the fall. I've looked at other orange pekoe teas and I've yet to find one that smells or tastes so sweetly delicious. I've been known to just sit and smell the teabags a while before steeping them, because I love the smell that much. *sips*
I've been extended on the job again, pretty much through the end of November. I'm choosing to take the high road with it--more money, staying close to my pals, knowing where I'll be at Thanksgiving--but I confess to a certain ongoing amusement that I've tried to quit this job twice and yet they still WILL NOT LET ME GO. I also sing Hotel California a lot.
Last night, The Husband and I got to see Cate Blanchett in Streetcar Named Desire, the combination of two of my favorite things. I don't even know what to say about it. Other than the ache in my knees that is the punishment for being tall and going to the theater, it was an absolutely perfect evening. It was one of those times when you forget where you are and you forget that you're watching something and you forget that these people are only pretending and you get entirely swept up in story. I'm no conoisseur by any means, but I am an avid fan of theater and to be able to see a favorite play put on live AND to be able to see a favorite actor perform it (AND to be there with The Husband, who'd never seen ANY version of Streetcar and didn't even know what it was about...)... It was magical. Absolutely magical. If all the performances weren't sold out, I would've absolutely gone again, later in the run. *sighs*
( On the writing front )
So I think I've decided that I'm NOT going to do prettylightsfic because while I think I could write RPF in other fandoms than SPN, I don't know those fandoms or actors as "intimately" as I know the SPN ones and I know me. I'll end up doing all this research to try and get it "right" and I just don't feel like investing that kind of work in fandoms I'm not nearly as interested in. And I just feel guilty only offering SPN fandom. Besides, 99% of the fandom is J2 and while I CAN write it, and I enjoy reading it, writing it doesn't turn my crank the way it used to. So why set myself up to write something I won't really enjoy?
OTOH, I'm wondering if there's enough of us, yet, who might be interested in a JDM ficathon. Not NOW, obviously; I'd probably want to wait until all the winter fests are past, but... Yeah. A JDM-centric ficathon. Het, slash...hell, I'd even take JDM gen. Just JDM and SOMEBODY. A human shaped person. Anybody maybe interested in that? Sometime in January, maybe?

I have a very specific way that I lose track of time. I obsessively count down minutes until about five minutes until my deadline. Then I blank out and don't regain any consciousness of "Hey, weren't you waiting for something?" until about 6-10 minutes after my deadline. It's kind of amazing. *sighs*
It's not everything, but it's a lot: How Defying Gravity Would Have Progressed, Straight From the Creator. It's not quite a Firefly hurt, that DG didn't make it, but it's pretty close. It's rare that I take such deep pleasure in a show, so quickly...but it's usually a pretty good sign that the show is DOOMED. I'm like TVphoid Mary.
I'm too tired to do either of these stories justice, but.
I had the great privilege of beta-reading darkrosetiger & telesilla's More Than One Answer; an AU of their Keptverse AU. As much as I love Question of Compromise (and it's attendant stories), I have to confess I've been wanting them to write this AU since nearly the start, give Dylan and Joe their chance to get it right, just once. Misc. Actor RPF: Dylan Neal/Joe Flanigan, Dylan Neal/Chris Pine, Dylan Neal/Joe Flanigan/Chris Pine. Slight familiarity is recommended, but it stands pretty well alone. (Link leads to Dreamwidth) ♥
I have yet to even comment on this story, but reading it was a great pleasure and I feel like I'd be terribly remiss if I didn't recommend Shameless by helen78. It's 98K+, and I read it over the weekend. If that's not a sterling recommendation, I don't know what is. Also Misc. Actor RPF with many pairings, so I'm just going to name off the main players and you can go see all the permutations: Christian Bale, Sean Bean, William Fichtner; minor roles by Viggo Mortensen (who kind of became my favorite, omg), David Wenham, Karl Urban and Wentworth Miller. Slave fic, BDSM fic, with an interesting take on the slave angle and some truly awesome kink. I really want everyone to read this just so I have people to talk about it with; it hits some really great narrative kinks right along with the kink kink. (Link goes to Dreamwidth)
Only a few hours left to sign up for mini_nanowrimo, if you're going to do it.
I've got 1400+ new words on Appetite in the last couple days. Nothing new on AKB yet, but it's in there, percolating. Definitely leaning toward yuletide (down to 11 fandoms; one was disqualified!) and considering prettylights, though I don't know if they'll be able to find me someone willing to write JDM. We are a mighty minority. *muses*
Okay. Losing functionality. Off to bed!

This VM fic makes me so happy. It feels like the author is making sense out of all the things I never thought made sense in season 3. Dealt with in this chapter: Duncan, Piz, the FBI. But if you're allergic to WIPs, I'd recommend staying far away from this one. I think it's been over a year since the last update and we're only on chapter four. So, yeah...
Apparently, I have things to say about TV today. ( Dexter )( Lie to Me )( Glee )( Castle )I'm going to save Sons of Anarchy for a separate post so I have time to cap a few episodes and possibly include some visual aids.
I bought myself a new laptop with a touchscreen, and because the software provided had Twitter compatability, I got myself an account. I've been reading it and trying to get the flow of the thing, but I gotta say, I'm still not sure. Even in my one lonely tweet, I still wanted to add about another post's worth. So what's the point if I know myself enough to know I'm too wordy? But add away if you're so inclined! I've added some accounts I recognized, but I'm sure I've missed a ton. The touchscreen though? AWESOME!

Flipping through the Yuletide fandom nominations and I came across RPF-Curb Your Enthusiasm. Um. Isn't Curb pretty much RPF already??
Also, The Sims? Really? I mean...okay, I LOVE my Sims. I really do. But I'm a little puzzled how that would work as SOMEONE ELSE writing a Sims story for me or what shape that would take. I suppose it's limited to the prefab characters, like the Brokes or the Goths, etc. I don't expect much of anyone would be interested in my story about how Jimmy Phoenix stalked and won the adopted son of Jensen and Jared, though. At least before I change all the names. :)
I'm still on the fence about whether I want to do Yuletide or not, though I think I pinpointed my problem from last year. I think that last year, I volunteered for a lot of fandoms because I'm familiar enough with them that I think I COULD write fic and I don't think I spent nearly enough time considering whether I want to write or receive fic from that fandom. Which is one of those things that seems so simple and obvious in retrospect, but I have a bad habit of wanting to be able to write all things for all people, whether it's something I'll actually enjoy or even want to do, or not.
IF I sign up for Yuletide this year, I'm definitely going to be really, incredibly restrictive about what fandoms I sign up for.
Another thing that I don't think enough about, imo, is what fandoms I really WANT/NEED stories from. There are a lot of media that I'm fannish about in the sense that it excites me and I love it...but that I don't feel any particular need to find or write fanfic about it. The media itself is enough. So I also need to think about that, rather than just, "Ooh! That movie/show/book is SHINY!"
Which is much more difficult than it sounds.
Anyway, I've got it down to a maximum of 12 fandoms and I'll probably cut it even more from there. If I decide to sign up. *headdesks*
AKB 71: 1083 words. So I wrapped up what I wanted to do with the chapter less than a thousand words in. I wanted to stretch it, but they were not cooperative. Quelle surprise Which left me at a bit of an impasse, but I think I can see my way through it. It's actually an opportunity to write something that I've been wanting to include for a while now. So there's that.
I think I've probably only written another sentence on Appetite, which is discouraging but not unexpected. Is it stage fright? They're more than willing to talk to me when I'm nowhere near the computer, but as soon as I open the file, they clam up. So typical. As of November 1, however, I have no more excuses. 500 words a day, hell or high water.
I wrote a few hundred words of incredibly indulgent AKB road trip fic. Friday was aggravating in a number of ways and I needed something that decadently indulgent. Didn't get very far, though, but I'm sure I'll go back to it. It amuses me too much not to and I'm sure nilchance & beanside will enable, as they always do.
So, that happened.

Didn't get very far, though, but I'm sure I'll go back to it. It amuses me too much not to and I'm sure nilchance & beanside will enable, as they always do.
So, that happened.
