I'm busy revising for finals at the moment, so no fic headway really. Aside from an idea for a shortish Mentalist fic, which I've scribbled down some plans for, but have forbidden myself from writing until after my exams. My Merlin fic is still whispering to me at the back of my mind too. Maybe I'll do a lot of writing the week following finals, ( Read more... )

So, what have I been doing for the past month?

* I finished writing Chapter 2 of my Merlin fic.
* I then abandoned my Merlin fic yet again. I'd struggled to write Chapter 2, which was stressful, or maybe I was stressed and so struggled to write. Either way, I decided to take a break. Then I put off picking it up again.
* I discovered and fell in love ( Read more... )

I made headway with chapter 2 a while ago, but then didn't have chance to work on it again until today. This afternoon I rewrote the original second scene to incorporate info from the original first scene, so there is now just one better written scene. Scene three-which-is-now-scene-two is pretty much unchanged. The third & last scene is vaguely ( Read more... )

I've finished chapter one! I can hardly believe it ( Read more... )

I've got down the beginning of the Merlin and Arthur scene, and it went quite nicely, but now I've hit a bit of a block - they've run out of things to talk about and it isn't quite time for the scene to move on to its next part yet. I could do with a whole new idea of something to include, otherwise events will move too quickly. But I'm getting ( Read more... )

I've written the first part of chapter one! :D It flowed rather comfortably onto the page, which was great. I ended up just watching a few clips (to research the arrangement of Gaius's rooms), rather than a whole episode as I'd originally planned, and then jumped into writing. Out flowed a scene with Merlin and Gaius. I'd already outlined it, but ( Read more... )

Well, let me see...it's been over a month since I've worked on my Merlin fic. I've been so busy that I've been too short of time and energy to write.

However, I have watched all the episodes of two cancelled tv shows about vampires lol! Namely, Blood Ties and Moonlight. I wouldn't say they were the best tv ever made, but they were good fun and ( Read more... )

Latest headway with my Merlin fic:
* I printed off the first draft of the prologue before becoming temporarily parted from my computer, so I've been scribbling tweakings throughout the week. I finally altered it on my computer this evening. It's now clearer - dare I say 'clear'? - who I'm talking about when (with all the nameless hes and shes). I ( Read more... )

Merlin fic progress update:
* Today I wrote the first draft of the prologue! At last! :D It doesn't seem too bad at the moment, but I shall have to read it through again...er, it'll probably end up being next weekend. I'm a little worried about it being confusing in parts as to which person I'm talking about (lots of hers and his and he etc, as it ( Read more... )

I've been so exhaustingly busy this week that I didn't work on my Merlin fic at all until this afternoon, but then I made quite a bit of headway on the plotting front.

* I still haven't written the prologue yet (but it is now definitely going to be a prologue rather than chapter one).
* I've finally picked my favourite of the two possible titles, ( Read more... )
