First World Problems (Writer's Edition)

[scribblemyname]

• I'm humming along on some great ideas for an overdue giftfic and a trope bingo completely different fandom au pops straight into my head and demands being written. Obviously, this would be the worst idea ever to stop, drop, and write it, so I write down the bit I've got (214 words, really?) and move back to giftfic. It's The Unusuals too, which is tough to ignore when you want to write them. It'll do nicely for my trope_bingo too.


• Once Upon a Fic (once_upon_fic) is brainstorming noms and I shouldn't go there with another exchange, but yeah, the fic is about fairy tales, folk tales, and myths, all of which qualify as original fiction. Original fiction is good. I'm probably going to go there.


• I dreamed up the perfect crossover birthday fic for xenokattz (belated, again, sorry) and it also fits a trope bill.


• But what I'm supposed to be doing right now is finishing the last half of tigriswolf's giftfic, then the last half of my MCU Ladies Ficathon fic, then my last two December ficlets, then another Agents of SHIELD fic I started and want out on paper before it completely leaves my brain.

Yeah. Sure, scribbler. :rolls eyes at self: See? First world problems.

Hope your own writing (and probably original at that) is going well. Blessings!

Would that be first "word" problems more accurately?

LOL Cute though. And yes.

Busy little bee!

:chuckles: I am, huh? You're even busier over there, I think, actually turning a (n original!) novel into the best version of itself.

After my computer gets back... I have plans.

I'm all ears, even while I'm busy rewriting. What kind of plans?

[scribblemyname]

Two pieces of original fic about 10K each (I'm totally guessing), one of which gets betaed and one of which doesn't. Then after that, I've got another poetry and/or drabble collection to pull together for the family.

The one that gets betaed is set in Vardin among the plain (not gifted) and is a sports story with a ton of interrogation of the religious environment as well. A Vardin sports story that blew up on me and I'm a little nervous about writing it.

If I can write a story about surfing, you can write a sports story set in Vardin.

Thanks! I think it mulled in the back of my brain so long because I'm not a big sports person myself and I had to really get what made the sport important to the characters. A double mental acclimation. But I got there.
