Life and Times of Teh Asuka

I want to do something o-ficcy. IDK, write my old characters, worldbuild for some new fic. I want packbonding and weird alien things. I can't decide. It's horrible.

I just... Mermaids in Space? Not enough alienness. Black Ops Werewolves? Not enough scifiness. That new weirdass survival/horror thingie I've been toying with in the last couple months? I don't even know the characters all that well!

I need weird and dangerous as fuck ecosystems and people engineered into not quite human creatures and possibly also visibly unsettling and psychic powers and PACK BONDING AAAA.

I also want to write Tyr learning how to be pack alpha. Not enough aliens in that fic but. Oh man the first time he loses his temper = glorious.

Frargh.

I'll probably regret this, but. Anyone feel like prompting me? Asking worldbuilding questions? Anything? .__.

Quick summaries cause it's been a while:

-Mermaids in Space follows adorably serious, young telepathic tribal mermaid Liadan, goofy and idealist, psychic-null, intellectual/marine biologist Arun, and antisocial empath, mechanic, space pirate Blue in their mad escape from Evil Corporation that wants to mine Liadan's nice abandoned waterworld without consulting with the locals. Other characters to be found here (main trio and bad guys) and here (blue's pirate crew), illustrated.

-Territoriality: The war against pseudoelves has come to a draw, so some of the soldiers who were part of an attempt to induce lycanthropy without allowing it to conclude in transformation are cut loose. Now on top of the convenient strength and healing abilities they have to deal with powerful instincts and health issues. Also with the local werebeast society, which isn't really happy to see them. Characters are asexual, wry, introverted alpha-wolf-to-be Tyr Andersen, snarky asshole Dian Keller, one-eyed silently snarky badass she-wolf Neve Serrano, charming liar Gabe Wright the werebear, bitchy tiny tiger Xiang and her best friend Athena the Secretary, etc.

( AND A SUPER LONG CHAT ABOUT THAT OTHER IDEA, BECAUSE I CAN. )

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.
Upon request, I will post a random line or two from any of these you choose. Assuming that the file adds up to a full line, that is.

Except I'm a ho so it's likely you might get a lot more than two lines, if there's that much to repost in the file. >___>

I cheated because I have about twice the number of files there, but half of them are long abandoned, and often also nothing but notes and no prose, anyway.

Some of the ones I listed here might be all notes and no prose, too, but they're still ideas I'd like to work on at some point.

The ones with * probably have enough unpublished material to be requested several times. XD

ALRIGHT. still open but i'm going to bed, so i'll go back to this tomorrow.

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

And I kinda want to write stuff about my mermaids and I need to kick the story awake, so if anyone wants to select two or three names in the list and a mood and/or topic of conversation, i'll be all bwee. (no guarantee i'll be inspired, though. the bunnies are fickle.)

( SpaceMermaid characters )

I'd say it's a writing meme, but "meme" implies I'll actually manage to write something in response, and we all know my track record by now, hm?

So. I hate writing action. Therefore I hate Teamwork and Newtypes very much at the moment. I also hate pr0nz. So, all that's left is dialogue.

Please give me two-three characters -- any fandom you know I know (feel free to ask if you're not sure, crossovers accepted on a trial basis) + either a topic of discussion or a quote to include. Then hopefully I'll write some dialogue -- two lines, ten, a whole multipart, who knows. I reserve the right to reformulate it, or to write something totally off-topic because my inspiration will have gone off in a different direction. Or to get writer's block on you. Again. *hangs head*


how come the kissy meme didn't inspire me more, it's not fair damn it. T____T


The dialoguethings!
Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura - on adding Sai to the OT3. (it's more like a ficlet. XD)
Mermaids in SPACE: Alind teasing Vartan about Oriana.
Mal Reynolds, Duo Maxwell, stowaway.
Teamworkverse, Temari/Ino on Shikamaru. => This is now canon. I Haz Decided.
Teamworkverse, "where are the wooden spoons?" futurefic, dialogue only.
Hinata and Sakura on the topic of boobs. ... why does this want to spawn a series of fanservice ficlets. Oh self.

Most of it is just rewritten/edited stuff I posted ages ago. But hey, I need to have the beginning before I can write the middle. XD; I need to get back into the habit of working on it. (that, and all my fanfics are stalled. Damn it.) It's great, I get to feel productive without even having to write for realz. XD

If you see anything unclear or awkward or that doesn't work for any reason, please point it out. I'll love you forever. ♥

Prologue.

( Chapter 1 )

... I just spent about four hours running all over Wikipedia and bugging joisbishmyoga for the pleasure of doing that. And it's still too simplistic to give me a working calendar re: eclipses.

It's the last time I decide on a planetary system with THREE moons. Last time.

And ahhhh I am so sick and tired of my computer. Whenever I play a video, whetherI'm using Windows Media, Real Player, DivX or some of the half-dozen other players I downloaded in a fit of despair... The sound ALWAYS lags. Always. And now the image has started freezing and skipping too, as if i'm low on memory even though nothing else is running. Maybe it's a missing codec, but if so, I have no clue where to go to find the right ones. Maybe it's a hardware issue... but when I watch a video on Youtube, the synchronization is fine!

When I watched a video on Veoh it used to be fine too, but today I went to watch the shippuuden episode (Asuma's death!) and I got a trojan. Had to jump through a bazilion loops to get it out. Blinded by my desire to watch that friggin episode, I think, "maybe it was a coincidence!" and go back to Veoh... Yeah well I'm not returning a third time. I'm computer-stupid but not computer-retarded. DX

But now how the fuck do I fix my video players. Damn it. DX

askerian: --oh right, I remember what I wanted to do. I wanted to flesh out my psychic bodyguard-hitmen.
askerian: I want to make them badass and cool, but not 100% evil. Just professionals, but also likeable.
proanon: Hee. Villains by circumstance? Those are fun.
askerian: First -- names! >:o
