wherein Liz babbles about "Fixation" and stuff

[edenfalling]

Last night, between 3 and 4am, I wrote the twenty-seventh piece of "Fixation, and Other Stories" for thirtyforthree. This one is another utterly cracked AU, in which Draco is a vampire, Ginny is a member of a mystical order of vampire hunters, and Harry just wants a normal life, thanks, and for these weird people to get out of his bedroom.

Also, I have PLANS for my remaining three themes. I begin to think maybe there is hope of finishing "Fixation" before the end of October!

Then, of course, I get to muck around with various organizational schemes -- I seem to have ended up with a sort of 'main sequence' continuity, and then several sets of thematically related fics (3 crack AUs, 3 scene-shift AUs, 3 depressing drabbles from Ginny's POV, 3 alternate get-togethers, 3 dystopian futures, and 3 rondos/by-the-numbers character studies) -- and hopefully get somebody to look them over, because I'm sure they need editing even though I've already posted most of them.

What I have left to write is one dystopian future, one alternate get-together, and the final main sequence fic. (Not chronologically final. Just the last to write. Unless... *wards off plot bunnies* No. I may add a 'tag' ficlet after the requisite 30, but that's a separate issue.)

-----------------------------------

In semi-related news, I've joined NaNoWriMo again this year. Except I'm cheating. Instead of writing a new novel, what I plan to do is simply write 50,000 words. Of anything. As long as I write an average of 1,500-2,000 words per day in November, I will count the month a grand success.

At the very least, that ought to get me a couple finished one-shots and some completed chapters of my too many WIPs!

Dude, that's what I need to do. Or else add 50,000 words to the Fic of Doom, which I started for NaNo 2004 and of which I've already posted more than 70,000 words and maybe written another 15,000 - 20,000 that I haven't posted yet. Just need to churn away on that sucker so that maybe I can get it finished by next year *rolls eyes at self*

I find that having some sort of deadline imposed from outside is a remarkably effective way to concentrate the mind. And I really do need to get several stories finished, so... Yeah. Three cheers for NaNoWriMo!

Hello~!

Found my way here through ff.net, and have been lurking about your journal for a while. Love your Guardian series. And Lemonade. And probably other things that I can't remember right now. Anyway. Um. Mind if I friend?

Also, NaNoWriMo ftw. <3

Hi! Friend away!

NaNoWriMo is one of the best motivational device I have ever run across. At least when it comes to writing. :-)
