out_thereFannish works posted in June:
Nothing.
2010 total so far:
~ 13,969 words.
Thoughts:
Why is it that the perfect story snippets -- description, dialogue, scene shifts -- always come when you're nowhere near a computer (say, in the shower or in bed with the lights off, debating whether to get up) and when you have a spare ten minutes with a keyboard and computer screen, your mind goes blank?
I have three current wips (which in and of itself is something of a victory for me):
Prison Break - "PB talking" wip. OT3 Alex/Michael/Sara (or, hmm, more Sara/Michael, mentions of Alex/Michael, Sara/Alex which might possibly lead to Sara/Michael/Alex but I can't be sure yet). Jason-verse. Current word count: 3,410.
Heroes - "Undercover AU" wip. Matt/Mohinder. Undercover FBI AU that's lingered way too long. Current word count: 11,747.
White Collar - "Mozzie POV" wip. Neal/Peter (with mentions of Neal/Peter/Elizabeth) from Mozzie's POV. Current word count: 6,497.
That's over 20,000 words sitting in wips, and I haven't posted a finished story since March 2010. And the thing is, I've sat down at times and known the next scene and the next conversation, but I seem to be avoiding the sitting down and typing part of it.
I mean, yeah, for June, writing wasn't viable. Once you factored in organising the travelling for July and getting work stuff done before I go, I haven't had the brainpower to sit and work at fannish stuff.
I suspect that my lack of writing discipline will lead to my days of fannish writing ending with a slow, drawn out whimper. But given how well most of my life is going, I can't really complain about the little sacrifices that allow the bigger things to happen.
So, in lieu of actual writing from me, how about a quick SPN rec: Freedom Hangs Like Heaven byaesc. Cas/Dean, 42,000, AU from 5.14. Awesome, awesome Cas characterisation (cranky, stubborn, serious but adorable Cas is something that should appear in all Cas/Dean fics) and the ending was perfect for me.
Nothing.
