Rough Summary: Chris is in college and ends up taking a course where Darren is a teacher's assistant (TA). Chris struggles with his mildly inappropriate crush and Darren's ambiguous sexuality.
What's Going Well So Far: I have a pretty good handle on the characters and the university setting. Also I have an awesome beta happichick17
What's Not Going So Well: Nothing, I don't have a set outline but that's always how I write.
Favorite Line(s): It would be so much easier to actually focus on the topic at hand when he wasn’t preoccupied with Mr. McFlirty Pants and his great ass.

Current Word Count: 0, sadly.
Genre: Humor, angst, romance... Mostly a combination of angst and romance.
Rough Summary: A party game turns sour when Darren clams up and leaves the room. Chris is the one to comfort him, and he's let in on a big secret from Darren's past.
What's Going Well So Far: Well, I'm pretty happy with my outline so far. And I'm almost done with the fic that I promised myself I'd finish before I really jumped into this one.
What's Not Going So Well: I'm having trouble working out the details, especially about the secret. I get something I like and then I think of something that completely contradicts what I've figured out. I'm sure it will get better once I, y'know, actually start writing though.

Genre: Angst/Smut/AU
Rough Summary: I revamped my entire idea so I'm starting off at square one. In this world, everyone is born with the date that they'll meet their soul-mate etched on their wrist in red. Upon meeting their soul-mate, this date changes to the day that they will die and it is etched in black. When Chris and Darren meet for the first time and shake hands, both of their dates change. With Darren thinking his soul-mate was a female, the road to falling in love is a long one. It isn't until Chris and Darren are intimate for the first time that they realize just how far apart the dates on their wrists are, and how little time they have together.
What's Going Well So Far: Better now that I have an idea of what I want to do, yay!

Genre: Angst/Romance
Rough Summary: Where Chris finds himself in the role of The Experiment and Darren has feelings about everything. Also: Alcohol.
What's Going Well So Far: I feel like the characterisation is better than in most of the fic I write.
What's Not Going So Well: Everything else.
Favorite Line(s): "Darren had a stupid moment of verbal diarrhea once. He wasn’t really surprised. His life usually feels like a constant game of ‘Oops, I Shouldn’t Have Said That.’"
