Quickie update on the fic-a-thon stories

[sholio]

Okay ... here's where we stand right now ... I have one very nearly done (actually, I might send it off to be beta'd tonight) and another one that's pretty close to done -- or it WOULD be, if it hadn't taken a sudden sharp left turn into a plot development that might end up making it a helluva lot longer than it was supposed to be. Then there are three more that I have fairly concrete ideas for, but haven't begun writing yet.

Unfortunately, Derry's Narnia one might end up being the last one that I do, because it's *hard* to shift gears between fandoms ... I've tried to work on that one a little bit, but I just can't seem to get Peter and Edmund's voices down while I've still got Rodney, John, et al clamoring for attention in my head. I might have to just switch over to that one and focus on it exclusively for a while in order to get it written, but I'd like to get farther along on the SGA stories first ...

And then there's the non-ficathon, sort of darkfic-ish one that I keep working on.

Definitely keeping busy.

Hey there! Please don't feel the need to rush on the Narnia thing. If you are writing SGA fics in the meantime, things are fine in my fic-reading world. LOL!

I do understand what you mean about the character voices. John and Rodney are just so demanding. *snicker*

Meanwhile I watch your prolific fic-writing with considerable awe. Coz every one's a gem. Do you even know how to write a bad fic? Or a fic that I don't like? I doubt it. Seriously. ;-)

*grin* I'm glad you're understanding about it. I *will* write it, and I *do* want to write it ... I'm just having trouble doing it when the SGA characters are all chattering away in my head. But there are lots of SGA stories coming out of that, so everyone's a winner here ... I think ...

I write stories that *I* don't like; does that count? ;)

You know, back in March, when I started having the temptation to write SGA, I really tried to fight it off because there were so many good writers in this fandom that I didn't see how I could possibly compare. I'm glad that I haven't embarrassed myself, at least.

I also want to quit my job so I can write fanfic full-time. Somehow my husband is having trouble seeing the obvious necessity of this ... ;)
