Go Big Or Go Home
Sep. 29th, 2024 11:26 amSo I'm coming into the SPN fandom with Horror High etc. four years after the series ended and I guess the fandom just... died a lot, after that. Which is really sad, considering how much content SPN gave the fandom over the years, it should have kept them going for like another decade at least but apparently as soon as the show ended half the "fans" were like I'M OUT.
It's too bad, really, because SPN is still a great series, but it's probably half the reason why Horror High etc. aren't catching on like they should be. If I had written the Horror High SAGA like five years ago, I would have been GOLDEN, but... nope. My brain produced it in summer 2024 instead, so I guess it is what it is! The few reviews that I DO get are generally really positive, so I'm just hanging my hat on that and also the fact that my brain WILL NOT LET IT GO.
Literally GO BIG OR GO HOME with this series, it turns out, so I'm in it for the long haul and I'll just keep posting even if literally no one reads it. *I* like it and that's the important thing.
Anyway, I'm up to 95 pages and 42,194 words so far in Storm Season and I'm REALLY hoping to get it finished before November hits and I take my break to write TKA. Then I can edit it in my (HAH) spare time and start posting it in December, and finish up the one-shots while I'm posting it. That sounds like a plan to me. Assuming everything goes the way I hope it does. :D;;
Right, so after I finish Storm Season (and TKA) and the Storm Season one-shots, the plan is to edit the SHIT out of TKA and then get out there and try to find myself a book agent to hock my wares. Not. Not the SPN stuff, obviously, but TKA. And then I want to get working on Pelts For Pounds and also Ghosts Of Nameless Stars, because I promised Poe I would write it ages ago.
Not that that really matters anymore, but I would like to be able to send it to them completed and just be like "Happy Birthmas", you know? Some time in January. So hopefully I can get that done. It's only a short story, though, I'm aiming for around 30 pages, so it shouldn't take forever to write. Theoretically.
I have two other short stories I want to write as well, one is called The Reeds and is something from FOREVER ago, I mean years and years ago, that keeps popping up in my brain time and time again, and the other is called Pluto's World (tentatively) and is just going to be a silly little fluff piece, as opposed to all my for srs writing that I normally do.
After that... I dunno. Depends on if I can get an agent/publisher to get behind the whole TKA franchise. Because if SO then I would need to get working on Book 3 of the TKA series (Grimoire), but if NOT then I think I might like to take a stab at Sins Of Angels. =/
I'm still working on the notes for Serial Spirits and The Rabid, both of which are largely horror genre, which is kind of me meandering into a new genre. I don't normally write strictly horror stuff. But what the hell, right? I'll write basically anything, if it comes down to it, with the exception of Harlequin-type bodice-rippers. I don't mind romance as a plot, but it can't be the entire book, just... blegh.
Also, funnily enough, I write SO MUCH smut in my fanfiction (except for Valdemar), but I don't write ANY in my original fiction. All my original stuff is very SFW, which Mom appreciates the HELL out of. I'm not entirely sure WHY it's like that, I just... I 'unno. *SHRUG* I get all the sex out of the way in my fics and then my original stuff is clean. Which is a plus because it's mostly aimed at YA so it can't be porny anyway, haha.
