Anybody who's still watching this journal should (hopefully) be pleased to learn that I've started writing in the DCU again.  Current projects: Everything You Never Wanted to Know, companion fic to Death of a Thousand Cuts and A Mile In Your Shoes (completion: very likely) and an AU in which Nolanverse Bruce Wayne is deaf (completion: er...maybe).

( Cut for thinkiness about deaf!Batman verse )

Writing is a weird process.  What works on one writing project will fail horribly on another.  Some pieces have to be plotted out scene by scene, or even paragraph by paragraph, and others only need for you to have a vague idea of the plotline.  Sure, individual writers tend more towards one end of the spectrum than the other, but even then there's ( Read more... )

My brain has been taken over by an epic in Stargate Atlantis, so I'm kind of dead right now.  I can't think about anything else, and it's going to take me forever (hopefully not literally) to write.  Just so you know.

It's actually ridiculously easy to get papers, but that isn't anything he hadn't expected.  This is, after all, Gotham in the '80s, before it was cleaned up, and the "underground" operations are still relatively aboveground.  The police force is more corrupt than it had gotten by the time he'd come here.  The atmosphere of the city reminds him so ( Read more... )

It's strange to be returning to the same school where one of his best friends was shot, especially knowing that she'd died from the wound, but Bernard was handling it well. Mostly.
