Writing Update #2
Jul. 4th, 2024 11:03 amSo I'm still working on SPN Destiel fic, right now mostly Horror High. I normally write in 12-pt-Arial font in Word, but I'm aware that that's larger than most websites (including AO3) run on, so I converted it to 11-pt-Arial font to get a better idea of how long it's going to be for AO3 purposes, and it's up to 48 PAGES and COUNTING. For a fic that was supposed to be like 10 to 15 pages long when I first conceptualized it, it's certainly taken on a life of it's own!
On top of Horror High itself turning into a monster fic, it's also spawned THREE sequels. Two are one-shots (Cheap Motel & Counting Scars, which take place 7 months and 5 years after HH, respectively) and the third is the ACTUAL sequel, The Road So Far, which I would really like to come up with a more original title for. But it's going to have an actual plot, where Cheap Motel and Counting Scars are basically just for fluff and smut. :P lol. But The Road So Far takes place 7 years after Counting Scars, but may or may not even happen, depending on the reception Horror High gets, so we'll see. *shrug*
I also have a Valdemar SPN AU (also Destiel, basically ALL THE DESTIEL right now) that I'm looking forward to writing, but don't really expect much feedback on because Valdemar is such a small, niche fandom. And I have both a SPN Destiel Witcher AU one-shot (The Wolf And The Crane) and a SPN/Witcher CROSSOVER that is... unspecified right now. Not sure if it's going to be a one-shot or a chaptered fic, don't have a title yet, but I think it'll be fun to write because putting Geralt and Dean in the same room? lmao yes please. XD
I've also been editing some of my old Valdemar fics to post them to AO3; I'm currently working on Brothers At Arms, Marionette, A Dangerous Pastime and Evolution. I want to continue them when I have the time, particularly BAA and Marionette, but I need to get them edited and up on AO3 first since I refuse to do business with FF.Net anymore.
And I have a bunch of new Valdemar one-shots that have smacked me in the face recently, but I don't want to get into them too much until I get some of my other stuff done. The only ones I currently have open in Word are Not Horses (about Charley, a boy with a crippling phobia of horses who gets Chosen) and Wander (about Bastian, a Companion with a wandering soul and hooves that take him all over Valdemar), the rest are just waiting in the wings for me to get to them later.
Other than that, I'm hoping to get back to some original works soon. I'm not sure if I'm ready to get back into TKA yet or not, but I guess the only way to know is to try. If I find myself sobbing at my computer screen I can always back out and work on something else. But I do want to start working on My Zombie, MOA and The Order Of Delphi more. So far I've just been brainstorming and world-building for them, but I'd like to actually start WRITING soon. Maybe when I've finished Horror High.
So basically, LOTS of projects, as usual, but I'm MUCH more organized about it than I used to be. Yay Vyvanse!
EDIT: Okay, actually, I think Wander might actually turn out to be a chaptered fic, not a one-shot? Not 100% sure though, I guess we'll see.
