darklunaMust. Write.
Grr, argh.
I don't know if I'm lazy or if I'm suffering from Too Many WIPs Syndrome.
Off the top of my head, things I have started which I intend to finish include:
- The post-apocalyptic fairy tale and possibly the side story that might be tangential and might be merely scaffolding, but is nonetheless whole enough unto itself that it wants to be called The Heart and Mind of Valor Donnelly. The fairy tale itself insists that its name is The World with No Leak at the Seam. Ha ha nice try.
- The silly romance I feel is saved from being too awfully cheesy because one of the romantic leads is a djinn.
- An additional silly romance in which the leads meet while she's in SCA full garb, sword and all. And damn it, I like it.
- The Laura & Kieran story in which, true to form, I kill off almost everyone on earth before I even start the action (see item 1). It's more about love and memory than space exploration despite Laura being a starship captain.
- "Belief," a story in which two characters meet in a dream city. The whole thing might be a darling that needs killed, but some of it shure is purty.
- A story about one of the princes in the tower at a modern-day college which is only barely started but would be really cool if I could do it right.
- That thing a couple of entries back, which I see is part of something else, only Blue wasn't called Blue yet. It's gonna make me cry, though. Maybe it's called "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart." Oh god. *beats self*
- A novel I started forever ago in a semi-normal fashion (for me), but in which the house decided it was a POV character. D'oh.
- My Aladdin-as-a-girl story, which is almost done if I can just shore up like two places.
- Various fanfics, especially the Draco-as-reluctant-good-guy one. The more I thought about wanting to be sold on his redemption, the more I thought I could maybe do it not too awfully. Not to worry, I am not of the "Tom Felton is so OMGHAWT SQUEE!!!eleven! Draco must seekritly be a wuv bunny" school of thought. Oh no. Wayyyy too easy. >:-)
