Writing thoughts
Aug. 26th, 2007 10:14 pmYou know, every now and then I remember the reason I write fanfic is because I like to write. I forget that sometimes, especially when I'm trying to work on AIL, because then I feel like I'm writing to finish a series.
I feel like there's so much I should do. For one, one of these days I should start working on something original. What I REALLY should do is start downloading some world building stuff and take the world my coauthor and I had going and really start hammering it out. We had some really interesting ideas about a different kind of fantasy- or at least, I felt like it was different. I don't think she and I will ever finish it together, but there are some really interesting things we've got going that I'd like to work with.
There's AIL. Which, I'm pleased to note, is actually moving along. I feel like I need to start kicking them towards the end, which is difficult because a.) we're going to have to start getting into not-so-fun territory, and b.) I have to reread parts of DH because I forget how Snape fits into all this, because I get bored by Snape in fandom and really never had much of an interest in incorporating him. But I'd really like to finish AIL.
There are the occasional one-shot projects. Last year I took a prompt for the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
omniocular AU challenge, where Remus bit Ron during PoA. I'd love to write that. I want to revise and then finish Happiness Where I Can Find It, because I think that DH so incredibly gave some of my ideas support. Somewhere on my hard drive is a fic of Sirius meeting Alphard in the afterlife, and there's another Sirius one, too, where his memories come back during the PoA year. And right now, I'm flipping between AIL 14 and that Arthur-Lucius fic, which starts with Arthur and Lucius being sort-of friends and takes them to bitter enemies, incorporating the idea that one of the reasons Lucius hates Arthur SO personally is because Arthur had so many kids and it was all Lucius and Narcissa could do to have one. Because really, when you think about it, those two hate each other more than they should for enemies on opposite ideals.
And there's always MRFH, which is an ongoing deadline.
Plus, there's, y'know, life. Including moving my office to the guest room and painting it to be Toby's new bedroom.
I'm not sure there's a point to this post. I just felt like navel gazing.
