One of these WILL turn into a novel or I'll die trying...

The good news is that the headache is practically all gone. :) On the plus side it gave me an excuse to sleep in until 10 this morning.

Now, I'm going to try this progress meter thing in hopes it will give me encouragement to turn one of these three stories into the first draft of a novel by the time I fly back from England. I think I can think up good plots, it's just filling it in past the bare bones that's the problem. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't try my hand at screenplays instead.

Echoes- My modern day/past entwining story. Now if only I could decide whether to set it in England or America...


No Quarter Given- My attempt to twist "When Theo Met Andrew" into something original.
 

Friendly Fire: The two men meet in a molly house and engage in anonymous sex story. This will definitely be a short story.

Love Once Lost- The story I used my rp character to write. I love Thomas, I really do.

I can't afford to donate much, but it's for a good cause, whether the reason for it happens or not.

Spoilers for COE, though if you haven't seen it, it's not my fault... )

Besides, it helps me make a few cents! They paid me $3.28 up front and for every 1000 page views or so, I get $1.50.

Beginning Genealog: Ask the Still Living Before Researching the Dead

Yes, that says genealog. No I can't change the rather embarrassing error. Let's all pretend I was doing a creative play on words and was being clever, yes? Genea...log. Get it?

And click the bit at the top of the article that says "recommend" if your like it, please.

I'll be presenting this at roughly noon today. Borrowed the general idea of it from a Horatio Hornblower fic.

Things That Make Me Stop Reading, Fanfic Edition, Pt. I

This is in regards to the Torchwood fandom, which is what I mainly read now considering how little navyboys fic we're getting lately, but this is probably a pan-fandom problem.

Um...I wrote something? Quickly and with very little skill...

Okay, so I did the whole, put the ipod on shuffle thing and then write something by the time the song ends. There are supposed to be ten, but I've got too much stuff to do right now (Very bad stress right now.) to bother with a whole ten. I did cheat in that I rearranged the songs so that this resembled a story more than just five random drabbles.

Title: Fragile Trust
Rating: PG-13
Pairing: Gillington
(Author's note: At least I managed to write something. I don't think I could ever get to the point of publishing. I just don't have the drive.)

Title: It's Cold Outside
Rating: PG
Pairing: Gillington
Prompt: Snow

(Author's Note: Merry Christmas! This is sappy, and not my best work, but darn it, I wanted to do one of the prompts before Christmas! At this rate the Thomas/Andrew Christmas story I'm writing will be a Christmas 2009 story.)

Currently I'm at work with very little to do. We have no patrons and my coworkers and I don't feel like doing much either. We ended up covertly watching a movie earlier today that I'd brought.

I began going back through my old fics last night and I was very pleasantly surprised that I actually didn't immediately want to delete everything. It was nice remembering a time when ideas and just the right phrasing came so easily, not to mention the lovely conversations and comments I received.

Remember the wedding bed fic? Or the mpreg? ;) I really hope to return to writing once my finals are done as of tomorrow afternoon. I need to work on some of my original stuff, but I really want to try to get inspiration for a little gillington, or any of my original pairings (Is that self-fanfic? We'll call it character building, lol.). If anyone wants to give me a prompt and a pairing or several prompts, comment and I'll see what I can do. Any pairing, original or not, is game.

Think of it as a mini-Christmas gift for everyone that I cannot buy real gifts for.
