I've not done any writing for a while. Not that I don't have a million things on the go, still. Many of them that are still on the go from last time (le sigh!).

The usual (of the moment, anyway) - all Torchwood, all the time. Excerpts from works in progress below the cut.

Then of course there's the tropical holiday one, which I've not made ANY progress on whatsoever; the psychic paper wooing one which I still reeeally want to write, with the same deal; the timestamp for the circus AU; the Ianto/Owen/Tosh co-written porn which is happily taking the long road; the orgy-tastic continuation of the space opera universe; and about a million other ideas I'd love to write but have never put words down for.

Hopefully when I get back home I'll be in a headspace where I can properly relax and be inspired to write again.

Been a while since I've done this meme. I have a few things on the go, so it's actually worth doing again!

And also, it's a tried and true method of procrastinating. Or, you know, "overcoming writer's block".

The WIPs (all Torchwood, all the time. Well, except for where they crossover with Doctor Who): ( Read more... )

So, those are the ones I've started and think I'll be finishing. Onto the ones I've not started but want to:

• The one where Ianto inadvertently woos Jack after finding his psychic paper.
• Cyborg!Ianto.
• More in this verse.
• The one in an alternate reality where they're all born the opposite sex.

And then there's the other list of ideas that I look wistfully at but realise that they've passed their prime, now... Work faster, brane!

I like this meme. It makes me think about... stuff.

Lo and behold, I've actually started putting words into my 'new' werewolf 'verse story again. By its very nature, it's all over the place, but I'm trying to make myself relax and take advantage of it - allow myself to jump all over the place in the writing stages instead of grinding to a halt as I attempt to push at one particular bit that won't budge.

At any rate, a small handful of people expressed excitement at the prospect of a new story in this 'verse, so I thought I'd do that WIP meme thing again - where I post snippets of in-progress stories. And, well, this is the only one really in progress at the moment. All of the others have not been worked on since forever, or have no more than a line or two, or are no more than twinkles in my eye at this stage.

Anyway. Here's a whole section for ya: ( Read more... )

I feel a bit weird about this story, now. It's become fanfiction of my fanfiction. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it departs very much from the canon we know and into my own head, which makes me a bit anxious (i.e. why would people want to read that??)

But we'll see how it goes. I've been thinking of these things for a long time, so it will be good to try and express them (ain't art grand?).

And, for your convenience, I've just tagged previous wip meme postings, if you're new and interested in reading snippets of the long-languishing John/Dean bodyswap, or a passage of Sam mauling his professor at Stanford, or selected parts of stories that have long since been posted.

Need to do this meme again, to rev myself up for actually getting writing again. Though, I shouldn't actually be writing fic at the moment. At least not til the end of October!

Anyway, these are real sloppy and sometimes experimental and stuff. I seem to finally be reaching a point in my writing practice where I'm just typing away experimentally instead of worrying about the finished product and it being all self-contained and perfect.

But, here we go:


Slut!Sam at Stanford. Being co-written with derryderrydown.

( excerpt )

John, set between Salvation & Devil's Trap. Those lost hours.

( excerpt )

John/Dean bodyswap, still being worked on. Sigh. Eventually porny, probably quite long.

( excerpt )

( other things I've got stewing that I haven't actually put words on page for )

double-ewe tee eff? Since when did I become a Johnfan?

It's weird, I'm becoming totally obsessive, and yet-- Like. I love Dean and Sam, totally love them and think about them all the time and they give me belly-melting glee and they're hot and make my brain whirr and all that. That beautiful fanlove. Cmon, don't play bashful, you totally know what I'm talking about.

I don't have that love for John, but... he's fascinating. I was inarticulately gesticulating to Mary about all this the other day, and yeah, she hit the nail on the head - he's compelling. I'm drawn to John's character not so much in a way that he makes me make weird little squealing noises, but that I just want to unwind him to find out what makes him tick. And lately, yeah, I've been compelled to do so.

And apparently this translates into a lot of exploratory John fanworks *shrug*

So, okay. That WIP meme. For fics and vids, because why the hell not?


Fic: John/wee!Winchester gen, set in 1984, of epic (for me, anyway) proportions. Currently at about 17,000 words.

( excerpt )


Fic: John/Dean bodyswap. Porny. Because, uh, derryderrydown and lcsbanana made me.

( excerpt )


And, I usually play the vid bunnies close to the chest, and that's partially because in this fandom it seems as soon as you get an idea, someone else carries it out for you... but hell, with all the podcasting and whatnot, who knows if I'll ever have time to make these anyway? That said, homg, plis don't steal them.

( vid WIPs )


Yeah. one day.

Other WIPs? Converting Super-canon to a wiki so I can announce it and get people to contribute already; the goddamn podcast; updating my Super-recs; oh, and right. that academic career thing I'm supposedly working on. Right.
