Life and Times of Teh Asuka

Okay so first, I of course failed at NaNo. It's not even a disappointment anymore. XD; Will try to write the next scene and then I'll post what I've got. I'm not sure I like this beginning either, it doesn't 100% jive with what I have planned for the rest of the plot, but maybe I'll eventually hit the right one. Nevermind.

It doesn't help that I fell headfirst into Homestuck fandom (goddamn you, Karkat Vantas) and have spent the last week marathoning everything that pinged me on AO3. (their search engine stops at page 40. THERE ARE MORE FICS FOR THIS FANDOM I CANNOT GET TO. AAAAAAAAAAA. please rec me stuff. EveryoneIsNormal AUs just totally miss the point for me, anything with alien shenanigans and culture clashes is yay, and I like Karkat interacting with just about anyone but especially John and Gamzee and maybe Sollux, and Dave/Terezi and Rose/Kanaya are also pretty awesome though I'll also read them with other people, my ships aren't fixed yet. (... troll shipping is awesome! woo quadrants. I am pinged in my special places.) As for characters I don't really get pinged by anyone but the kids and the trolls, maaaybe the kids' guardians...) Anyway long story short IF:nghtrolls♥ THEN:nowritin♠ .__.;


TOTAL WORD COUNT: 16 598 words. Laaaame.

Posted: NOTHING. shaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame.

WIP:
-A schmoopy Seph/Zack/Aeris/Cloud ficlet in the same 'verse as Once Removed and Negotiating Relationships. (there's two more planned aaaaaa self why): 862 words.
-GW: Newtype: bit of silly dialogue, 168 words.
-Some weird packbonding o-fic thing that i'm not even sure where it's going or what the characters are like which makes writing 'em pretty hard, 903 words.
-Sequel to the GW/Stargate crossover, Heero POV, 827 words.
-The Tyr/NaNo story: 13 838 words. I AM THE LAMEST LAMER WHO EVER LAMED.

I'm consoling myself with the thought that at least even if I suck at writing a ton in one month, my monthly output isn't that bad and actually pretty regular over the year. (It's just that it's all over the place, so I never get to feel like I finish anything. Gnargh.)

( Teasers! )

TOTAL: 15 721 words. Over 3k more than last month, but about 6k of them are random snippets instead of multipart stuff.

Total: ... 8 762 words.

... that's all? self what on earth is wrong with you. DX It's about 4 000 words less than last month, which was ALREADY down 4 000 words from the previous month! My god, come september I'll hit zero if this goes on.

Note to self 1: AAAAAAAAAAAAA YOU HAVE BEEN PROCRASTINATING ALL OF LAST WEEK ON THE NEXT TEAMWORK SCENE WHAT THE HELL ASUKA.
Note to self 2: okay drabbles and scenelets are fun and low-pressure and whatever. BUT THE LONGFIC IS CRYING, ASUKA. CRYING.

I'm gonna be gone a week or two for summer vacation and with nothing else to do I seriously hope I'll finally sit down and plow through. It worked last year. But goddamn it, I'm not gonna post two teamwork chapters a year! I'll be forty-five by the time I finish the damn fic. Argh.

Genderbending AU prompts:
Latest posted: Teamwork: BoySakura, GirlNaruto, Sasuke - Baby's First Ultrasound.
FF7 Enemy Skill: GirlCloud, Sephiroth POV.
Tripletsverse: GirlNaruto, Naruhiko & girlKyuubi try to comfort each other post-Sasuke giving them the slip again.
Teamwork: pregnant!Girl!Naruto, people's reactions

I'm not taking any new prompts at the moment, but there's still a ton of them that I really want to write. Of course they're all of the sort that might land me with another long-ass WIP... Who's surprised.

-State of Teamwork
Teamwork is waking up guys! :D :D :D The next scene to complete this chapter is already tickling the back of my brain. Not solid enough yet to write down, but eee. (okay, no, the issue is that i want to write the END of that scene real bad, but I need to know how the middle goes first or it'll be all unbalanced.)

-State of Restore
Sephiroth demanded a scene, and then did pretty much nothing with it but ponder about bathrooms and how weird it was to have a body again. Which is fair enough. Then Aeris wanted me to figure out an excuse to come in and ogle him under the pretense of intense/weirdass Ancient/Alien bonding. And when I did the muse was gone and I'd forgotten what the heck I wanted them to talk about and how. Frargh Aeris.

State of other WIPs available on demand. XD;

( Restore snippet which is now making 'hey i also work as a complete scenelet' noises, the bastard )

I've posted just about everything else I've written this month, so this is the only teaser I've got.

First impressions: of course I was unable to concentrate on anything this month and therefore I didn't complete jack shit.

Total word count: ~16 160
(I know I forgot to keep track of some, what with being so scattered. Mergh whatever.)
*... adds *one* word just for the sake of OCD patterning* woohoo 16161~

What I wrote:
-Teamwork sidefics for the prompts (still intending to write more of them, just... attention span. Yeah.)
-FF7 baby fic -- okay no, I completed one chapterscene! yay! I didn't remember because since then I've been beating my head against the ending of the next, which is, as always, 80% complete and therefore in a perfect place to stall.
-Surprise tripletsverse Naru introspection thinger (oh! another complete thing! Okay, this is helping my self-image a bit there. I've been feeling like such a flake. I can complete... less-than-1000-words-ficscenes! ... still something!!)
-One whole scene of Jet/Zuko/Katara pre-threesome, plus the next scene, that won't start where hopefully they WOULD start being a threesome (stuck like a motherfucker so of course i feel like I didn't complete anything, oh self)
-One DIFFERENT jetkotara thinger -- this one wants porn in it, which is in no way insanely difficult with the three people involved and their explosive dynamics.
-A coda for the DCMK swingersverse, to a fic that is incomplete and therefore not posted and comes after a fic that is ALSO incomplete and therefore not posted. Because I make sense that way. I did chip a bit at a horrible hole in fic number two, which does not mean you guys will see it any sooner, as fic number one is still stuck (goddamn Kid/Ran porn) but hey, still something!
-A bit of teamwork scene with sakura baby bulge! which I have no clue how to end. Oh well.
-The daemon things
-a random OC-tastic porn thing that I tried to write to unfreeze my brain cells and stop thinking so hard about everything that i couldn't write, and which is therefore still pages and pages of plodding, boring setup and stalled like a motherfucker just before the part i actually wanted to write. Which I don't want to write anymore. I don't think i'll be posting this one. Like, ever.

Surprise of the month: the Daemon FF7 AU. Came outta nowhere, landed me with 3 100 words, and seems to have temporarily wandered off again. (no fear, it'll be back. I like Simon too much.)

And now teasers, because I'm evil like that:

( Teamwork Teaser 1 )

( JetKoTara 1 (post series by a few years) )

( JetKoTara 2 (alternate post-Boiling Rock) )

( Teamwork (pre-teamwork sleepwalking prompt )

( ff7 zack's kiddies stuff )


Anyway. I'll try to do that each month, if people like the teasers more than they want to murder me for it. Ideas for more things to track? Questions?
