writing progress report; also, NBB fics will go public soon! *crosses fingers*

The Hinata prompt!fic for [livejournal.com profile] hungrytiger11 is at 1,700 words. Bleh. I don't even know where it's going, really -- it started out as politics and then veered into a random lunch gathering of the Leaf Shadow summer camp women's survivor club. Attendees include Hinata, Sakura, Ino, Tenten, and Karin. I am not sure why Karin is there, as I am quite certain she did not attend the camp and only met the others much later via Sasuke. (She's in the army, like he is.) I have no idea how I'm going to haul it back to politics, or even exactly what Hinata is "moving on" from. I mean, I have some ideas -- there's set-up for at least two things already -- but it's all very fuzzy. But at least I've fulfilled the "+ any of the girls" part of the prompt!

[ETA, midnight: 2,700 words now, and I veered back to politics via an angst-filled flashback-ish thing. *hands* I don't even know anymore.]

I also started the trollstuck AU for [livejournal.com profile] explodingfrogs, because I figured out the opening paragraph as I woke up this morning and I wanted to get that written down before I forgot. So that's at 200 words. (...It wants to be illustrated. WTF, seriously, I am not an artist. *attempts to subdue plot bunny*)

And I copy-pasted the fic I am remixing to my hard drive for convenience. I should probably get started on that soon, considering it's due a week from tomorrow. :-/

...

In slightly tangential news, apparently the NBB fics and art will start going up tomorrow! I cannot wait to read them all, and also, it will be a relief to finally hear from other people whether I did a good job on my own fic or whether I completely blew it. I have been kind of twitchy and "but when will they go up? is it now? okay, how about now? or maybe now?" since I sent in my final draft. I freely admit I am not very good with delayed gratification. *wry*
