I'm totally spamming my flist today, sorry

Heh. Perversely, even though it's waaaaay behind in the polls, I kind of feel like writing that J2 Avatar re-telling (complete with much less clichéd plotlines, hopefully, and slightly more realistic characterisation of secondary characters) for the spn_j2_bigbang, because HOLY CRAP IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES FOR ART! \o/

...

Okay. I'm good now.

Anyway, this is actually a Writing Projects Post™ masquerading as me waffling further about the Big Bang. ;)

Since I am still aiming for my more-or-less insane wordcount goal of 1 million words by December 31st, I've realized that I am really going to have to stay on top of my projects and deadlines, so I'm going to try to make weekly project posts for my own benefit. These are guidelines and wish lists, more than rigid schedules, but they should help.

Anyway, carry on. Nothing behind the cut except what I'm planning to work on this week.

So...

Wordcount goal for January 9th: 24,660 words.

- spn_las: God help me, I'm still in it. I don't know how that happened. 1,000 words or so, due Wednesday before 17:00.

- l4d_bigbang: 5,000 words minimum, completed draft due Wednesday at midnight. I'm at half my wordcount, but not really half my story. Oops? I can totally make this, no problem.

- Beyond the Pale: Nobody here knows what that is, because it's actually an original piece (an AU Western) that I spent two years or so posting in serial form. It's still not finished, but I'm going to start posting it again and adding new words. It used to post on Tuesdays, so I'm going to try for that again.

- Conflation: Another original fic serial, this time science fiction. It's designed to be shorter than Beyond the Pale, thank God, so I'm going to try to finish it

- gabriel_bigbang: summaries are due on the 14th, so I need to get cracking. At this point I still only have a really vague idea for what I want to do, so. :P

- spn_jimmynovak: Novakfest. Pinch-hit, due Friday. Minimum 500 words, but it's probably going to end up longer, given the prompts I got.

Okay, those are the main ones. If I have time/inspiration, I also have the following projects I'd like to work on:

- the untitled H50 fic that's currently trying to eat my brain,

- Roses in December: I'd like to get one chapter done this week. I've already decided where it's going to end, and I think that I'm actually only about two, maybe three chapters away from that. It's going to have a sequel, too, which I'm excited about.

- The Angel Pin: this requires my actually talking to rainylemons, so we shall see...

I always feel like such a slacker when I see your project lists lol

Mine is like:

Step 1. Wait for inspiration.

Step 2. ?????????

The correct response is to feel sane when you see my project lists. ;)

I dunno. I seem to have more plot bunnies than I know what to do with, not that I'm complaining or anything. ;)

You're doing the Big Bang this year, right? Right?

Also, remember that pledge I made about not doing as many Big Bangs this year? BAHAHAHAAAAA! Yeah, no. *headdesk*

No, not doing the big bang this year. I still have the main plot bunny for it and I think it would be awesome but...there's this one part that I just can't quite get over enough to make myself write it.

But I'm betaing for a few friends so I still get to see all the action from behind the scenes :D

Aww, boo.

Well, sign-ups are there for a long time. Plenty of time to change your mind!
