Resolutions of the writing kind

[astri13]

Hope everybody had a nice Christmas. I ate way too much which resulted in my lounging Jabba the Hut-like on the sofa for most of the time. Oh shape, why haveth you forsaken me? I think all in all I was a bit too lazy this year for my own liking. Even, or especially, writing-wise, I was much less proficient than I wanted to be.

Actual tally of 2008: 2 multi-chaptered J2 fics (both challenge-related); a little J2 vignette; 8 SPN short fics; 6 Merlin short/middle length fics

For a whole year's time that is a sobering result. *sniff* Something that I hope to remedy next year with a renewed writing passion. For starters, apart from the long promised sequel fics *cough*, I am signed up for whenboymeetsboy where I'll hope to produce a J2 version of "Ten Things I Hate About You". We'll see how it goes with prompt snatching over on j2_everafter in January but I kind of have my heart set on a crazy idea of "Beauty and the Beast."

Also have every intention of doing spn_j2_bigbang this year and beyond that we'll see. Should cover the first half of the year nicely. I'd love to do spn_harlequin but I'm not sure they'll ever do another round. Apart from that I'll be on the look-out for other challenges. At least with those I'll reasonably try to make deadlines. *cough*

Of course, I'm not abandoning Merlin fic either. At least there I'll have plenty hiatus time. *headdesk*

And on the other side, I'll try to be better about commenting, too. Right now I'm a devoted lurker to a couple authors who deserve better than that. *sigh*

So far, the planning, folks. Now we'll see about execution.

Who're they? Just curious :)

I'm reading a couple WIPs by leonidaslion (SuiteVerse), lycaness (When Dark and Light Collide), beanside (KeptVerse) and katie_the_sith (Doctor-Patient-Privilege) as well as others where I'm terrible at commenting. *hangs head* But they're all totally worth checking out. *pimps*

Thanx! I've read something of Leonidaslion - it was good. Don't know others two but Beanside is awesome (and i'm ashamed cos i never commented there too).

LOL< I was totally thinking of doing Beauty and the Beast, too, but I think I'm not gonna even snag a prompt for that. I have way too much going on already. Good, luck, though, I have a feeling that one will go quick.

Me too so I'm not too sure I'm gonna get a shot. Then again my idea on it is so cracky, it probably would be for the best. :)

Dude, lately crack is so much more appealing than straight fic. I can't even tell you. I don't know what it is, but yeah, crack is nummy.

Heh, I can so totally relate to that. I read all those marvelous fics and then feel terribly guilty for not leaving any comments.

Yeah, totally guilty. Sigh.

Oh my god, it'll be incredibly awesome if you write the prompt about Beauty and the Beast! I was reading prompts on [info]j2_everafter and thought "wow, it'd be cool to read j2 version of this one". And you're one of my favorite fic writers, so I totally wish you good luck with this :)

[astri13.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :) We'll see if I manage to snatch it.

Anyway, I believe in you and your writing skills ;)
Happy New year! :)
