11th: I added a bit to yesterday's flashfic and posted it anyway. I think it's okay. Other than that, just a ton of comments on fanworks. :-)

[sanguinity]

Oct 11. Spent the day battling a stomach bug. Alibi sentence.

[ysilme]

Checking in for days 8-11. A few hundred words of nonfic each day plus between 70 and 100 for a drawer fic draft on days 9-11.

I realised today that my current untypical lack of writing motivation/inspiration might well be brain fog from a new med I'm getting used to, as I'm also generally super unmotivated and uninspired, and have a hard time getting going. *sigh* I've started to use my trusted method of forcing myself to write at least an alibi sentence of fic, no matter if I feel like it or not, and it seems to work. Still no inspiration but I'm polishing up a rough drawer fic draft, so it _is_ some kind of progress.

[badly_knitted]

Oct 11th - 1642 words. An expanded ficathon fill, four sentences on my 1character tables, and the start of a challenge fic that I might be able to make work for one of my spook_me fics, even though the pics I got didn't work with the fandom and characters I wanted to use. I'll flick through the older fic galleries and see if I can find other pics that will give me some inspiration.

Day 10: Mashed a bunch of notes into the draft. 8-)

I'm glad you're having fun at the con!

[luzula]

Day 11: Wrote 300 words of longfic! Current wordcount: 102,100.

[trobadora]

Checking in for the 11th.

[sylvanwitch]

I’m so glad you’re enjoying the con! I’m having a lovely visit with my grad school BF, and I managed 86 words added to what I wrote yesterday.

[brithistorian]

Day 11: 200 words exactly! (Well, 204 words if you count the title, which I do because UpNote does.) A Lucifer crackfic double drabble in which Trixie learns that Trixie isn't actually short for Beatrice, as they'd always told her, but is instead something else, as a consequence of her mother being a fan of a show.

[cmk418]

115 for today

[cornerofmadness]

I'll get you added in.

And yeah some meds will absolutely do that to you. Hope some motivation finds you again

[cornerofmadness]

thank you and good job on making progress

[cornerofmadness]

excellent work

[cornerofmadness]

oh no, stomach bugs are the worst. feel better

[cornerofmadness]

good luck with that. Luckily I got pictures I could work with and that's more great progress on your end

[cornerofmadness]

look at you go!

[cornerofmadness]

thumb's up

[cornerofmadness]

thanks and yay for good visits

[cornerofmadness]

titles are hard. they totally count. good job (and I need to go look at this. I liked that fandom loads.

[cornerofmadness]

good job

[badly_knitted]

Thanks!

I did on the Raven one, but the two cyborg pics didn't feel right for the fandom I want to use. Still haven't figured out the why and how of the cyborg being where it is and posing a threat, but that will hopefully come as I continue writing.

[cornerofmadness]

good luck. Yeah my cannibal one is iffy at best but at least its closer to what I had in mind than last years (then again I STILL love last year's)

[badly_knitted]

Fics often take their own directions. They may not be what we originally intended, but that can be a good thing.

Just re-read what I've got so far, and I'm happy with it, but not sure where it's going. My main character is wary for reasons he can't explain, but the others are at least listening to him. So next I think I need to set up the cyborg before bringing them all together. I'll think on that for a day or two, because Monday is a drabble writing day so I won't have time to continue with the fic.

[cornerofmadness]

you are so right about that

ah good. Glad you do (was wondering if it would be a cyberman given your usual fandoms) good luck

[badly_knitted]

Not this time, I've had another fandom eat my brain for this one. The Raven one is Torchwood though.

Thanks! Good luck to you too!

[cornerofmadness]

ha, great (can I ask which one or shall I just wait a few weeeks)

thanks, I shall need it

[brithistorian]

After reading it, it's one of those things that I like it, but I'm mad that I like it — I think the poem was very well-written, but I don't agree with Poe's anti-science viewpoint.

OOPS! That comment was intended to go to a comment from a few days ago, where you had recommended Poe's "Sonnet—To Science"!

What I had actually intended to comment here was to agree that titles are hard, except for when they're totally easy. Sometimes I'll come up with the title first and the story grows organically from there ("TWICE as many alphas" is an example of that), while at other times titles just refuse to come (which is why the second "Madame Park's Academy" story is still called "Madame Park's Academy II").

[cornerofmadness]

I was wondering about that non sequitor though...I don't think I'm the one who mention that Poe poem. it doesn't even sound familiar.

but yes titles are hard at least part of the time

[badly_knitted]

Fandom from 1977, The Fantastic Journey. Only 10 episodes, but there's a TV channel where I am that has been showing it, so I started watching it again (hadn't seen it since '77, maybe '78), and I'm on about my 5th or 6th rewatch, plus I found it on YouTube, so... Catching new details with every re-watch, which is helping to flesh out the characters. Terrible special effects of course, but I love the characters.

[cornerofmadness]

Oh yes I remember it. One of my friends is a huge fan

[badly_knitted]

Now you know someone else who is *grins* I've started another drabble collection for the show, only three drabbles so far, but I'm doing two 1character tables for two characters from the show, and I have plans to expand my sentences into drabbles. Also written quite a few one-shots for various challenges, but I want to flesh those out more before posting elsewhere. The more times I re-watch, the more details I catch, and the more plotholes I find that need filling. I just need to find time...

[cornerofmadness]

oh cool. good luck. I have you under subscription so I'll keep an eye out and point my friend to the drabbles

[badly_knitted]

Thanks! There are only three drabbles so far, but I'm aiming to post at least one a week, and some longer pieces when I get them into postable condition! When I went looking for fanfic myself, I only found one. It's short but good.

Somehow I need to get screen capture sorted and make myself an icon or two for the show.

[cornerofmadness]

wow that's definitely a small fandom then

good luck with the icon making

[badly_knitted]

Yes it is. Somehow I expected to find a ton of fanfic, so it was disappointing.

Thanks, I'll need it.

[cornerofmadness]

I'm sure. Granted there might have been back in the day but it's all in paper zines

[badly_knitted]

Yes, and I don't have access to those, sadly =(

Another case of 'You want fanfic? Write it yourself.'

[cornerofmadness]

yeah most of that is long since in a dumpster somewhere.

write all the stories

[badly_knitted]

Yes, that's the sad part. So much fandom content lost.

I'm trying to... But I'm not sure the fandom can handle the slashy ideas I'm having >.< My brain won't stop!

[cornerofmadness]

yeah though I'm glad my stuff from the 80s is gone if I'm honest

ha, i don't remember enough of it to know if I'd want to slash anyone

[badly_knitted]

I guess there are some things writers just want to forget having written.

At 15, slash wasn't even on my radar, but my god, I'm seeing it now!

[cornerofmadness]

ha, yeah some fandoms have that (others I don't see at all but others do and that's just fine)

[badly_knitted]

There are a lot of fandoms where I just DON'T see it, but yeah, some it's just THERE.
