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.)

I've had surprising focus on one project lately, and it's BND which is my original pet. (I have a few original things but this is definitely my biggest pet project.) It's been undergoing some major reboot stuff, the whole world isn't even recognizable (it was that bad to start with) and I haven't actually started writing it, mostly just. Documents and documents of redesigning. So I guess for now forget I said anything.
Now, fanfic.
I've been doing Trope Bingo. I have nine things started there, but one of them is about to get posted and another one is probably just going to be visual. They're an assortment of fandoms, and uh whatever the short version.
- TB001 is accidental baby acquisition and it's Homestuck but you know how there's a really obvious way to do that? I did it the other way.
- TB002 is forced to marry and it's also Homestuck, in fact it's also trollstuck and I liked a lot of things I was doing with it but I abandoned it because that plotline wouldn't be well-done as a one-off.
- TB003 is kiss to save the day so it's uh actually BND but Homestuck AU. It's gotten pretty off-topic and not really worth posting but I'm glad I did it.
- TB004 is detective AU and it barely got started but it was PMMM and then it wasn't really anything.
- TB005 is kidfic and that's also PMMM and it's, boy. I think I finished it, but it needs editing, but it'll always need editing. It's fun but it's also impossible JFC.
- TB006 is telepathy/mindmeld for an original thing that.... also needs a bunch of reworking actually.
- TB007 is high school AU for Homestuck! It's set in a universe I started making for a kink meme prompt, it's got fun interspecies stuff--which actually is the problem, it's basically complete but I don't think I could possibly have gotten the Caliborn/Calliope aspect down.
- TB008 is uh soulmates and that's for Elementary but it.... flopped a lot and is probably going to be a visual.
- TB009 is for AU: fusion so it's a crossover and I was JUST ABOUT TO POST IT actually, just needs a couple touches....
So yeah I'm only getting into round two because amnesty.Kink meme has uhhhh well there's
- HSm002 is "reversal of the Karkat-watches-Sollux-die scene" which was mostly because I suck at writing things that don't end tragically so I was hoping I'd get some of my tragedy out there
- HSm003 is "the game ends everyone gets stuck on Alternia Dave gets trapped in Terezi's hive and feels obligated when she makes advances" because IDK I found it in a search for Jadekat what did I get myself into
HSm001 gets its own thing because actually it's HMT and it's uh "military petstuck" and might actually be related to how I wound up.... subscribing to your journal........ That kept sinking into the swamp but now I have two chapter-ish things that might be OK, I just have to decidewho's going to diewhat the hell my endgame is.Right now most else of what's going on is HSWC, of course. I've got one down which is Aradia♦Tavros angst and I tried starting on a Karkat♠Rose but I might not keep up with my, IDK, New Event Resolution to not start new things when I still have things to do.
Oh and TVP. That's. Complete. I probably should get a reader in on it, but I also feel like I should look over it more first and bluh. But it's airships and titles and Eridan♠Vriska and.... pretty out-of-hand, that's a good adjective for it. I really need to reboot my computer right now which conveniently gets me out of worrying about boring you with a giant paragraph of inane details.

And haha, I didn't remember (or just plain don't know) how you subscribed to me, but if "military petstuck" is what I think it is, that's super awesome. Also, guess what I thought about WAY too much today during my 3-hour drive, before I ever saw this post. :D Yeaaaaah.
Awww, Aradia♦Tavros! I love those two! I find Aradia pretty much impossible to write, though; I don't have a firm enough grasp on her to try it myself. Which is too bad, because one of the reverse-prompts I got was for a pairing involving Aradia. Figures. :D Oh, well.
TB002 - I like this trope! I like trollstuck, too. If you ever decide to rework this one into something viable, sign me up to cheerlead!
TB007 - This sounds nifty; I generally don't like high-school anything, but add interspecies shenanigans and I can deal.
TB009 - Congrats on the nearly-completeness!
HSm002 - Maybe we can trade abilities regarding tragedy; my problem is that I always want to FIX EVERYTHING, RIGHT NOW. Tension is not my forte! Anything that smacks of tragedy is hard for me to write. :D
HSM003 - Everything about this is pretty much designed to make shout "WANT" while making grabbyhands gestures. *guilty looks* It's actually really close to something that came up in a WIP story I'm following, and I was delightedly alarmed, or alarmed at my delight, there. Yeah.
AIRSHIPS AND ERIDAN, there cannot be a better combination! Please feel free to provide further details whenever convenient. :D
I was going to make little write-ups for my more recent things, too (the ones I made up there? Yeah, I've had those fics in-progress since before the kinkmeme moved to DW), but now I think it's going to have to wait till tomorrow.
