little things

Trying to work out Scrivener. Too many buttons, not enough explanation. And I tried going through the wizard and it...confused me.

Started on 'The Right Hand Knows Not' today. Like, wrote four lines. And the Big Bad has just changed hands. I wasn't actually expecting that at all. I need to re-plot how all this fits together, now. And work out how not to drown the reader in 2000+ words per scene.

The High School AU for the trope_bingo is easier. But 'accidental baby acquisition' has mammoth potential, and I don't think my A/B/O fic quite works the way your standard A/B/O is supposed to. There's no sex for starters, almost no dominance games, and the best I can do is the sense of newcomers from outside and the way the structure works.

Curious question: Psy-Changelings beta, I haven't heard from you - are you still interested? Drop me a mail? [myLJname] at yahoo.co.uk

I've ID'd a couple of rarewomen prompts for treating. I'm nothing if not predictable. And shipswap should be signing up...any day now.

Also, yuletide chat is down due to sff.net having maintenance and I feel weird without it. Are people congregating elsewhere in the meantime?

#yuletide appears to be up but silent right now? I expect everybody's sleeping, and I'm very shortly off to work. (Overtime pay. Important thing.)

What I need to do is find the copy I'm pretty sure I bought of Scrivener for Dummies and give it a read.

Is there any way of finding all the rarewomen prompts in a particular fandom? Because I'm only really feeling one, which is part of why I bombed the exchange last year and didn't sign up this year, but I'd like to treat.

I skimmed the "dear rarewomen author" letters post

Oh okay. Thanks!

Last year I was using Scrivener to work on a long fic. I could try and answer questions.

Okay!

Enough people have replied that I'm going to make a new post about Scrivener with questions, just to see how people answer. I think writing style is going to have a big impact here.
