Projects Progress · 2:38am Oct 30th, 2012

In between schoolwork, Borderlands 2, that board game I'm working on, and all my fics, I realized how little writing I've gotten done lately. I figured I'd summarize it and see if that helped at all.

Elements of Excess; Ch 4 is in progress, 1,824 words, 3rd draft is done.

Like a Sex Machine; Ch 5 is in progress, 439 words. Am seriously considering editing all the sex out of the chapters so far, to make everything more similar to Ch 1, and put the focus back on the awkward comedy. Haven't touched this since the 17th Oct.

Loyalty and Royalty Part I/II; Ch. 4 is in progress, 1,391 words. Actually have this all planned out, up into part ii, but I'm just never in the mood to continue it since it's so depressing. Haven't touched it since the 10th Oct.

Can You Keep a Secret; Was going to write an alternate epilogue, maybe add another chapter, but it's got very sloppy pacing and, like LnR, I'm never in the mood to work on it since it's quite depressing. At least LnR is going somewhere though, even the editor got bored of this one. :facehoof:

Think Pink!; still in need of a proper edit before it can be resubmitted to EQD, but at least it's done.

Crazy Mark Chronicles; Too long, and all the ideas present are expressed better/more concisely in my other fics, I really don't mind abandoning this one.

Confessions of a Cashier; Despite the 878 words I wrote, this really doesn't go anywhere. Unless inspiration strikes will prolly leave this in its .docx prison.

Overcast; I still like the concept, and my plan I've written down is actually fairly filled out, but it's a little too long to be a one shot, my notes say it's a three parter at least, and I need to firm up the ending a little, maybe pare down the beginning... Guess I'll wait and see.


My eventual goal was to do one story for each of the main six where they become a changeling, with varying reasons and tones, but I got cocky and let peer pressure convince me to make two of them longer than I wanted.

For now I'll try and finish the next chapter of EoE, since that one actually has some dedicated editors for the moment, and hold off on everything else until someone volunteers to give them a proper once-over; I'm simply not going to have the motivation otherwise, and every chapter that goes by they get increasingly worse. The ones I haven't started yet can wait.

...Well, at least there's always...
Actually, I don't really read most of your fics, I just watched you because of one of them, and I've forgotten which one, so.........:twilightblush:

Lol I know that feeling.

I just wrote this to remind myself anyway, I don't think I'm popular enough for most to care :trixieshiftright:
