Intermission - Various News

It happened again. Our phone went dead and I haven't been able to hook up to the Internet for two days. It wasn't so bad, though, as I managed to get a lot of writing done.

For those of you wishing to know, the kitten is fine. It's started going to the bathroom again and has become best buds with my sister's Pomeranian puppy (sp?). Although he might just be trying to nurse on the dog. I always seem to get these mentally defunct cats.

The next chapter to Wayfarers may be a while (hey, I did warn everyone I was writing it at my leisure). I have the next chapter planned, I just need to get around to writing it, but I've been a bit sidetracked by Thoughtcrimes and this other SGA story I started writing (has lots of Shep whump, making it hard to resist). For those of you who knew of my promised 'Shep as an abused slave' fic, I'm putting that on hold to try a different plot that is much more intriguing. The first fic... I don't know, I keep having trouble with it, so thought I would try something else. All requested fics will be posted when they are ready, but I am having trouble with them as well. Heck, I'm having trouble with most of my SGA fics (reasons mentioned in the post where I ranted a lot.)

I'm currently working on a chapter Thoughtcrimes story that I find very relaxing to write. Lots of Brendan whump in it.

I doubt I'll be putting up any stories for the Flashfic dating challenge. I just see that one being full of a lot of het romanc and slash and OMC and OFC lovers and lovers and sex period and... *shudders*. Yeah, not my kind of challenge.

I've been attempting to be an equal opportunity whumper when it comes to my SGA fics, lately, but I think I'm going to focus on Shep-whump only. I needs me some straight-up Shep whump (this does not include all future chapter fics, just one-shots.)

The book rec community I still want to do but haven't set it up yet.

And that is all.

I cringed at the dating flashfic.....I'm not into any ships at all and it just invites I think one of the biggest faults for romantic writing.

Bad fic = silliness, people acting out of character and excuses for pulp sex scenes.

ack

Watching some "Thought Crimes" clips on youtube, so odd to see JF as someone else, but it seems interesting. No luck on torrent yet.

As far as you SGA fic, heh just follow your muse and don't force anything. If you happen to write a one shot, than thats what you do.

100% Shep whump is just what the doctor ordered!

:-P

Kudos to you for not posting a bunch of WIPS, you respect your readers too much to do that and I know Wayfarers is a very unquie situation and you warned people about it, so that doesn't count.

Sounds like a lot, have fun writing.

No internet for two days? Ouch. I feel your pain. It's good that you got some writing done, though- I'm horrible about that, constantly abandoning it to use the internet. And then I can't work on it if I'm reading any story, because then I'll unconsciously try to work in parts of that other plot into mine, and I really don't want to do that, so I'm trying to only read fanfic when I'm not going to be working on any of my stories. *makes face*

I've read a bit about Thoughtcrimes and am totally intrigued with it, but can't find it anywhere! Do you have it on DVD? Do you know where I can find a copy that will play on an American DVD player? I'm dying to see it. The ones for sale on Amazon all say they're for the UK only.

Yaaaay Thoughtcrimes!! *lovesloves* Mucho luck with the fics. It's really annoying when you have all the words in your head and yet they refuse to come out properly when you go to write them down. *gives you cookie* Hang in there and whump away ^__^

Glad that you’re back and very excited you’re writing Thoughtcrimes! When I read ‘equal opportunity whumper’ I felt a bit down but then I read on that you’re focussing on Shep-whump and I brightened hehe.
