NaNo... -__-;;

NaNoWriMo starts on Monday and I still don't know what story I want to poke at, or even if I really want to do it this year.

Anyway I don't have a new Ofic to prod, so it would either be more Mermaids in Space (... sorry, Mermaids... IN SPACE!!) or more Black Ops Werewolves.

Or maybe Teamwork. I dunno, it's all asleepy right now. *prods it with a stick*

I'm not feeling it. T__T The werewolves are love but I don't have a real plot. The mermaids have a plot but I don't have the love. Well, yes, i love them but. The werewolves don't have any interesting characters on other teams and local werepeople to interact with! The mermaids don't have any shiny mermaid and two-tail people to interact with! There's plot hooks enough, but for me who loves nothing more than character interaction, that makes things FLAAAT. It's like, okay, yay, my car has a motor, now it can roll forward without needing a slope and gravity to gang up on it. Neat. Now could I have some seats and a radio please? Also a wheel, a wheel would be nice. Cause otherwise I'm taking the bus.

*ponders Tyr/Liadan crossover interaction*

Also there's Real Life things coming up this month and I'm not sure how much I'll feel like writing. (it's nothing bad, job search stuff. I suppose everyone must go through that at some point. I'm just horrible at dealing with that kind of stress.) Or perhaps having something I must write would be a great distraction! No friggin clue.

As for Teamwork, I seriously doubt that it'll take me 50,000 words to get to the end of TW3. Though I suppose it would help if I could decide if the marriage is part of TW3 or its separate sequelthing! though at this point the sequels are all such an interconnected mess I suspect it's all mostly academic. Okay, no, TW 3 was the tournament, tournament'll be over by then, therefore since TW 4 is something else! that means Teamwork:Marriage is an interlude instead! A hugeass interlude. In several parts. Plus outsider POV sidefics. ahaha o self wat. Okay, not an interlude. TW3.5? I mean, i've got the Suna trip down as TW2.5 already. ...Someone put me out of my misery. DX

So my first reaction is just that I want to give you a hug. I mean, not just a hug but a HUG! Like, grab on to you and pet you until you stop struggling and have no choice but to melt into a puddle and just accept the hugging as the most important thing you have to worry about in all the world. Your only job would be to breathe.

But since I can't actually harass you in such a fashion, I suppose I'll have to be content with throwing a few words your way in the shape of opinion. So, between mermaids, wolves and shinobi mating customs-

-Sorry, totally just lost train of thought imagining baby Mer!Sasuke swimming after his big brother and I had a squee.-

-I think I'm most partial to wolves. Maybe you could try fracturing a fairytale or two for plot elements? Classic is classic for a reason after all and nobody says they have to be recognizable when you're done with them. Just stay away from tvtropes, lest you lose your will to live.

On the other hand, I have a terrible bias against all of them when Sephiroth is smirking down at me. So you see, I'm really no help at all. I shake a stick of dynamite at your misery though. A little kaboom goes a long way. u.u

She's going to hate you forever for that mental image, Charcoalcat. But I agree, it is *SQUEEE!!*

*ears perk*
