Plotbunnies! Help! Poll!

Mar 18, 2009 03:00

You know, six months ago I was working, in extremely lackadaisical fashion, on just one DWP fic, which was going exactly NOwhere. Now,  my brain is suddenly a fount of plotbunnies. I have six (!) unwritten plotbunnies waiting for my attention, plus three actual fics in various stages of completion.

So, my question for you, my esteemed readers, is: ( Read more... )

plotbunnies, dwp

The first three are actually partially written. I listed by number of words written. Honestly, Dreaming Miranda is what I need to work on, but there's so much I have to do to it to make it work properly that it's sort of a depressing prospect

Example: for some bizarre reason, I thought it would be a really excellent idea to start out writing a long fic exclusively in the present tense. I started to regret it not too long afterwards, but it will take me forever to change every single verb and then adjust the surrounding text. *sigh*

And that's not even counting the complete overhaul of one entire part and the several additional scenes I have to somehow work into what I already have if I want to have a prayer of making the subplots work.

Anyway, you get the picture.

Thanks. I may actually take you up on that, at some time in the distant future when I wouldn't be ashamed to show it to you. *grins*

It probably won't come as a surprise that I think you should plug ahead with "Dreaming Miranda"...you already know my (extremely positive) feelings about it, and I really want to know what you're thinking in terms of the subplots and reworking of what you have. I'd be happy to do additional beta-reads for that one anytime at all, or even to bounce ideas around through email or PM. (I am terrible at online chatting, and don't have AIM or anything like that...)

As for the other ones, I don't tend to be super into AUs and crackfic (although there are plenty of exceptions) so the one that interested me the most was "Size Queen." Ahem. Sounds like a good idea to me...the perfect birthday gift "for the girl who has everything." Happy B-Day Ms. Priestly.

"the one that interested me the most was 'Size Queen.'" I'll keep that in mind. *grins*

Seriously, though, thanks so much for your help. I would love for you to take another look (when I finish dealing with what you commented on last time *sigh*). As far as subplot goes, I was thinking that, since it already takes place pre-Paris, Andy should be witness to some of Miranda's wheelings and dealings in preparation for foiling Irv's dastardly plans. I haven't got all the details worked out yet, but that's the direction I'm headed. I also want Andy and Nate to stay friends. Weird, huh?

Wow these all sound amazing. I hope you write them all if the muse takes you there. The Werewolf, Size Queen and the last one, the historical one all sound fascinating. Number 9 sounds like it's very original.

Thanks! I'm hoping to get around to finishing them one of these days. Maybe in a few years I'll have written all of them. *snorts*

These all sound amazing! Dreaming Miranda sounds dreamy!:D I also love vampire fics so Once Bitten as well.

Dreaming Miranda sounds awesome but fic featuring Andy wearing a harness instantly wins the world. And the fact that Miranda buys it for herself is equally amazing.

Size Queen FTW!

Aww. Thanks. I'll keep that in mind...especially since there seems to be a consensus of sorts.
