Just a Beat Out of Place

Okay, so I'm home in Texas finally which is nice, because this semester has lasted a FUCKING YEAR! I'm glad that I have less responsibility here, but I miss my girlfriend. She stayed up in South Dakota for the time being.

And SINCE SCHOOL IS OUT

I HAVE BEEN WRITING FIC!

I can tell you this much about what I've been writing: Seiner is coming first up, and you guys are going to HATE ME for this. Hopefully, TTB will be after that, and then I get to start working on all the various one shots AND REQUEST FICS and other stuff that I've been compiling ideas for, such as LAPDANCING ZEMYX FIC.

(By the way, if I've promised anyone fic that ISN'T a request on kh_request, because I have notifications for those sitting there glaring at me, LET ME KNOW.)

(also, jsadlfasdf new KH:DDD trailer holy shit skaflsdaf)

Alright guys, I think that I'm back for now.

Of course, NDK starts tomorrow, so I might not have too much access to the internet in the next couple of days, but eh.

I'm still not going to go into what happened, because I'm still not sure what all happened. Needless to say, these past five days have been absolutely insane with the emotional ups and downs and all arounds that my particular circle of friends has been through. Insane, I tell you. One of those situations where you end up just staring at the events that have happened and giving up because you're too tired and frustrated to deal with it.

But it didn't happen directly to me, just to one of my closest friends, and because of that, we all sorta got involved. At least on the periphery, which hurts almost as much as being straight in the middle.

I still haven't written anything between getting cosplays ready and dealing with the fallout, but I'm hoping that I'll have around an hour today to get at least SOMETHING written on paper.

Hold me to it, guys.

Also, what would you think about doing your first fic in a fandom for a holiday exchange thing? Think someone should get more of a hold on the characters first?

A random, completely inane goal I have: Manage somehow to have fic titles that span the entire alphabet.

Don't ask me why.

I just do.

I have "E, G, H, J, K, L, N, Q, U, V, W, X, Y, Z" still left to go. I don't know what I feel the need to do this. I don't even know why I feel the need to post this. (Maybe to remind you that yes, I am alive?)

Guess who forgot her flashdrive that has all her fics on it!

*points at self*

-_-

Ah well, luckily there are fic prompts for me to get working on. (xtorchlightx, your prompt won't be one of those because I had parts of it written on said flash drive. I'm sorry... *sweatdrop*)

Guys, guys, I promise I haven't abandoned you or anything (especially not those of you who are waiting on requests. The messages are sitting in my inbox, glaring at me every time I look), I've just started working again!

So, I'm at the same place I was last year, only now I'm waking up 30 minutes earlier (ugh, 4:30 am. Too Early.) and I'm in a different department! Hopefully I'll be able to get access to the computer tomorrow, which means that I can take small breaks to write and to post here! Woo! I've been hand-writing short notes on pieces of paper all day, so maybe they'll amount to something. At least one of them is the beginnings to another small P'R'U post-side-story. If that makes any sense.

I'll be writing in the April and May oneshots later tonight. April seems to be halfway to 2/3rds of the way done, so hopefully I'll get that finished soon! I'll also be working on the three request fics that I have left since I have at least one of them started on paper, and I'm beginning to kindle ideas for the other two.

WHAT'S GOING ON, WHAT AM I MISSING NOW THAT I'M NOT CONSTANTLY ONLINE??

ETA: Only one scene left in April's oneshot! A month late is better than never, eh?

Ahahahahahaha, writing porn writing porn writing pooooorrrrnnnn

filthy dirty porn

and I'm getting too embarrassed to wriiiite iiiitttt.

(*crawls away to hide face that is red enough to light a country for a week*)

So I've been mostly absent from this LJ for a couple of weeks, and I do have reasons.

1. Spring Break was last week. So I was basically just chilling around the house and playing Pokemon White with Pixie and Jer-bear (our friend). (ALSO: N AND CHEREN, THE ONLY REASONS NEEDED TO PLAY THIS GAME, aside from the fact that it's actually good, has a plot for once that lasts beyond the elite four, etc etc...)

2. The week before that, I was reading and rereading Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss, which by the way, EVERYONE NEEDS TO READ. NO SERIOUSLY, GIVE ME PEOPLE TO TALK TO ABOUT THIS BOOK BECAUSE IT'S FANTASTICAL AND I NEED TO TALK INCESSANTLY ABOUT IT. (FFFFF KVOTHE)

3. During this time, I got almost no writing done. I know, I know, I'm sorry. The March one-shot is underway, and TTB Chapter 3 is being written too. I'm trying, guys, but school does come first, and sometimes, I just need to recharge.

4. Icon making is fun, just an fyi. Made like, four icons this last two days just for shits and giggles.

5. Got an idea for another story yesterday. More Zemyx, because when does my mind turn to anything else?

....

That was more of a list of what I've been doing than why I haven't been active on here.

Whoops.

So, I've hit a small block on the TimeTraveler!Sora fic, but that's okay. I'm having Pixie, (prettypixiechan, and my roommate Tyna take a look at it to tell me what they think I should do next.

INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT IT, HOWEVER! I'm going to post a few snippets of TTB Chapter 1, TTB Chapter 2, and the TimeTraveler!Sora fic.

Enjoy!

( Snippets below cut )



Alright, so there you have it! I'm having fun writing these, so I hope you like them!

Now, you have to understand before I begin this that I'm not whining in any way about what I'm doing or why I'm doing it. I'm just putting this up here for comparison.

For The Twilight Between, I have the first chapter written, the second one about half-way done, and I finished outlining all of the chapters. I'm now working on the outlines and first chapter for Devil in Your Hands. This is not what I want to bring to your attention.

What I want to bring to your attention is this:

I have a document on my computer. It is called "TTB and DiYH Chapter Outlines". This is the document where I have a plot synopsis for every goddamned chapter, and bits and pieces of stuff that I have written for those chapters before I start the REAL work on them. Any snippet I have posted here is in that document.

I have ANOTHER document, called "TTB OUTLINE" (yes in all caps). This document is a character development thing. This is what I wrote when I was just first having the idea for it, and the only thing I knew was that Demyx was empathic and that he didn't know what to do about it. It was the plot developing document, where I wrote down every idea I had for the story and finally began to flesh it out.

I also have YET ANOTHER DOCUMENT called "Two Story Ideas". This is where I write any idea I have for a fic. Anything. It has half of Mnemonic in it, none of Silence is Golden, the beginning of Pants 'R' US, and the very first piece of TTB that I wrote. (It has WAY MORE THAN THAT on it, too)

...Now, you might be wondering why I'm talking about this.

I just...wanted to say this.

Between these three documents, two of which exclusively deal with TTB, I have over TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND WORDS, just talking about fic ideas that aren't fully fleshed out. "Two Story Ideas" is just as long as the final version of Pants 'R' Us, and it deals with over twenty-five separate stories. At most, I have one thousand words for a story in there. Some of them are only sentances, others paragraphs. "TTB OUTLINE" is seven thousand words. Just talking about the bare bones of TTB and DIYH.

I never really put that much stock into how much I really plan these things out.

Huh.

Sorry, I just felt like I should mention that.

So, thank you all for your ideas on what to write as an ending! I love reading what people would do if it were their story, and it does help. Really, it does, even if I don't end up using your suggestion.

(I might not use certain suggestions because of the way I want to tell the story, but that makes them no less good, really. Killing Demyx off? Great suggestion. Surprise twist ending? Also great suggestion. And I'll look at them closely, even as I write. Plans change a lot when I write, so nothing is really set.)

THE AWESOMEST PART OF THIS?

I sat down with my beta and girl-friend prettypixiechan and told her the entire plot of the story that I had so far (which is long and involved and was, at that point, still mostly in my head), and she gave me some REALLY GOOD IDEAS for how to end it.

So I did.

And NOW I'M WRITING IT.

Mind you, I want a buffer zone on this fic. Don't expect any chapters up until I have two or three done, because I don't want to make this drag on forever, and my schedule is unforgiving at best.

But TTB and DiYH are on the way!

*furious fistpumping*

Also, it is snowing in South Dakota.

FINALLY.

((And I turn 20 in two days, wheee!))
