Word Count: disappointing
Extra work and relatives from out of town: reasons why I have written practically nothing, and why this post is a day late.
For the record, though, here's the Tuesday Night Word Count:
Document 1:
last Tuesday: 85,050
Today: 85,898!
Document 2:
last Tuesday: 7,590
Today: 8,086.
Document 3:
last Tuesday: 4,550.
Today: same.
NET INCREASE? Yes.
HOW MUCH? +1,344
Wow, more than I expected! Was I writing in my sleep? :D I don't remember making that many words! *pleased*
You guys are totally allowed to poke me, ask questions or demand progress, mock my snail-like pace, inquire as to whether I understand the meaning of the word 'priorities', request further clarifications, et cetera! At some point I hope to give all the major snippets a nickname, so I can keep track of which things I'm working on most often/fastest. (My priority *should* be the things in Doc3 and Doc2, which are kinkmeme things and thus kind of come with an inbuilt time limit, a.k.a. "post this before the meme ends and has gone to a new page"; within Doc1, my priority should be "things I can put on the interwebz at some point" rather than the un-share-able stuff... So far, my priorities seem to be thoroughly reversed, from what I remember of my efforts in the last couple weeks.)

Re: THINGS WHAT I AM TRYING TO WRITE:
Red Marker
Hmm the fluffy direction does sound reasonable, though I don't know if the prompt wasn't into that. Either way, developing multiscene stuff sounds plausible if you're into that. I'm really curious to see how the xenopsychology comes off!
Oral Traditions
I'm really delighted by the codename here. But uh. Again with wanting to see xeno things. (Actually that applies to all the time.) I think I know the kind of headcanon you're going with and I do like it and think it'd be cool to see explored more.
Miracle Gro
it gained thousands of words of sexually frustrated!Dave is pretty relatable. Overall it sounds really good and really interesting and I'd be glad to look through it whenever.
In other news I really love how standard xeno is a thing that I know what you're talking about and stuff.
Re: THINGS WHAT I AM TRYING TO WRITE:
Oral Traditions: thank you. :D I like puns; it's probably one reason I'm terrible at titles. My brain works like a crossword puzzle reader's, all wordplay and shortcuts and maximum-meaning-for-minimal-wordcount and egregious punning. *grin* The headcanon involved is, yep, the "troll teeth are scary, ergo oral sex is not a Thing for them" thing, but I've tweaked it here and there. Now it's more "ergo penetrative oral sex is not a Thing for them", and it's accompanied by some "scent is more relevant to troll senses than to humans" and "teeth/biting/proximity to skin has social and instinctual overtones".
Miracle Gro: Heh, I suppose it is relatable. Poor Dave. He thought he was starring in a PWP, and instead he got bulgeblocked without warning by schoopy H/C and scary biotechnical issues.
I really love how standard xeno is a thing that i know what you're talking about
Hahaha, yes. This fandom has many good points, and that one's nowhere near the bottom of the list. :D :D :D
Re: THINGS WHAT I AM TRYING TO WRITE:
OT: Puns don't make you terrible at titles. Being bad at titles makes you bad at titles, as does insisting on making them all acronyms. (I'm trying to not overwork myself so it might take me a bit to get to your other comment but yeah I guess for the most part you not understanding is the point, until I can think of an actual title.) (Except PMMM is the anime Puella Magi Madoka Magica which I think that makes it pretty obvious why everyone calls it PMMM.)
That does sound like a fun combination. I'm curious as to how it looks on paper, though I can only imagine it must be worthwhile.
MG: Happens to the best of us.
Re: THINGS WHAT I AM TRYING TO WRITE:
Puns don't make you bad at titles. True in a sense, but thinking in puns does make titling difficult. :D On top of, as you say, being bad at titles. (WORST part of the last bingo I did, BY FAR! I thought I would give up on one of them, I had so much trouble. And, uh, it's basically the first weak pun I could find to stick on it? For that matter, I used a pun-type thing for my Yuletide title, too.)
which I think that makes it pretty obvious why everyone calls it PMMM
Hah! Yes, there are cases where acronyms make lots of sense, and that's one of them.
like a fun combination
It really is. At least if you enjoy H/C with Dave flinging "irony!" around to cover his own emotional investment, Tavros in a bathrobe, and troll notions of delicious, romantic fingerfoods. :D And - I hope - the chance to play out a kinkmeme prompt/plot that's been done several times before, but never with a disabled character in the starring role. (Which is part of my slow working on Miracle Gro; I want to handle Tavros respectfully/thoughtfully, rather than with Magical Author-fix Cures to avoid dealing with it. Must go and dig out my notes for such things...)
This comment thread has become so long that I think I'm going to create a new post to hold my overviews for all the other things-in-progress. I'll copy-paste the three from this thread into it, too, so they're not stranded.
If you want to continue listing/discussing any of yours here, that's fine! Or you could create your own post, or whatever. I don't mind, either way.
