Good Job, Ai
Well-meant chat intended to help me brainstorm turns into me ranting about (1) certain fan interpretations of canon that I disagree with and (2) character motivation issues that mean my entire premise is borked, and I cannot see a clear path through it without involving OOC on someone's part ( Read more... ) -
Woe
*sighs* What I should be doing is working on longfic. However, longfic is hard and requires plotting and thinking and planning consequences and chains. Shortfic/drabble is easier than longfic, because who needs planning?
T_T But shortfic is not what my deadline is for. Woe is me.

NPT Fics to Read ^_^
I can't believe I totally forgot to post the NPT fics I got! O_o Bad Ai, no cookie. I asked for many things, but one of the things I wanted to read was Pacific Rim OC robots... and I got two lovely lesbian Jaeger pilots and the Mark-6 Jaeger California Dreamin'. <3 My anon was good to me--lesbian pilots for the win! <3 <3 <3
And! I got a ( Read more... ) -

2014 Word Count Update
AO3 now has me down at 56,500+ words for 2014. This is an increase of 5,400 words since my last wordcount post about two weeks ago. I didn't think I'd be writing anything this month, but clearly I underestimated my ability to write when frustrated. O_o

Update on NPT Reveal Date
Just as a reminder, NPT reveals are July 16! If you were hoping to guess for NPT, please do it soon. ^_^ I will not be entertaining guesses that come in after 10pm on July 15, Denver time, simply because I won't have a chance to verify whether or not they came in before or after reveals. ^_^;

Ai is Impatient
Having fics betaed really slows down my posting speed, but at the same time, the fics are much better for being betaed. I will have to be satisfied with this not-quite-instant (but still pretty fast) gratification. If I ever get published, waiting MONTHS will be torture. T_T
ETA: Damn. When beta comments result in a pretty major rewrite, I ( Read more... ) -
Guess My NPT Fics!
Guess which fics (yes, plural) I wrote for Not Prime Time! If you get BOTH right, I'll write you something (we may have to discuss exactly what you want, and it might take a while, but it will happen.) Comments are screened. Cross-posted; click here to reply on Dreamwidth (

2014 Word Count Update
AO3 tells me I now have written 51,100+ words in 2014 (I don't think this includes my NPT fic, though I could be wrong.) This is an increase of 6,500 or so words since the last time I posted a word count update on June 15, so that's 6,500 words in 2 weeks. As I am now entering 2Q close busy season, I doubt the word count is going to budge much in ( Read more... ) -
