tielan: (MCU - Maria/Steve)
Friday, November 13th, 2020 11:45 am
Do I want to do Heart Attack? 10K in 2 weeks (last two weeks of NaNo, pretty much)? I mean, I certainly can, I'm just deciding whether I would and whether it would benefit any of my fics.

I haven't started my YT fic yet. I suppose I should be more worried about it but right now...I'm not stressed. (Maybe I should be? I recall it all being very "OH, I CAN DO THIS!")

--

I've done a number of fic additions or new stories, mostly because I needed something happy-shiny-fun to write and fanfic was it.

I managed fluffy fluffy fluffy for [community profile] shipoween:
Survivors (1916 words) by tielan
Chapters: 1/1
Fandom: Pacific Rim (Movies)
Rating: General Audiences
Warnings: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Raleigh Becket/Mako Mori
Summary:

Sometimes survival is a matter of playing hardball.

TBH, it feels like ages since I wrote PR. But this was a nice, happy-soft-fun snapshot.

And also some Steve/Maria soulmates fic:

Summary:

A meeting in a garden. A goose attack. And a glimpse of what might be...

The Endgame videos/gifsets for the election stirred a lot of old bitterness up. BLEH.

And another chapter or two of the Psy-Changeling fusion:

Series: Part 1 of Wolf & Arrow: MCU-Psy/Changeling AU
Summary:

Maria had always known that someday that the shambling, soulless creature that returned from Rehabilitation would be her – used one too many times, broken beyond fixing. She’d accepted the eventuality of that end for herself. But for Phil and these children, whose crime was merely to challenge the Psy Council’s preconceptions? No. Not while she had breath.

In which Sam, Nick, Clint, and Natasha make an appearance...

On the writing board is the next installment of the 30 Days Of Your OTP (Steve/Maria), Paved With Good Intentions (Maria/Clint soulmates | Maria/Steve relationship), the next chapter of the wisdom to know the difference (honestly do not know if it will ever be finished), and the fic I'm calling baby's first moebius...

And Yuletide, of course.

I could probably write Paved With Good Intentions in 10K or more. It might end up being seriously more: shit gets REAL in that one. And it would be nice to have a significant drive to finish it. It would be nice to have a significant drive to finish any of these...

Only, there's also the original fiction to write: I was hoping to complete Act II during NaNo. Not even close right now. Need to stop re-editing in my head. Oh, and focus. It was awful focusing last week and this week seems to be ALL THE WORK THINGS.

Anyway. Back to work, I guess...
