terabient

Have spent some time thinking about what I want to do with my kink_bingo card this year. If the previous years are any indication, I will put down a bunch of ideas, only end up finishing one of them, and half-assing my way through two more squares at the last minute. I'm kind of terrible at fan bingo.

But for now, hope springs eternal!

( Cut for possibly NSFW kinky talk )

May update periodically if anything new occurs to me or I lose interest in something. the latter is far more likely to happen

15 icons of Leanne from the video game Resonance of Fate. For kink_bingo's "guns" kink.

( a girl and her gun )

I ACTUALLY MADE A BINGO what is this. Granted, it's a tiny bingo, consisting only of four drabbles and a single icon, but at least it is finished.

Nothing explicit, but some of it is dark.

Title: All I Wanted
Fandom: Soulcalibur
Characters: Maxi/Kilik
Content Notes: For the Penance/Punishment kink. Contains consensual physical punishment.

( I've hurt so many )

Title: You and I, and Everyone Else
Fandom: Ghost in the Shell
Characters: Motoko Kusanagi/Batou

(Canon notes: Although this takes place in the Stand-Alone Complex continuity, the idea of sense-sharing/e-sex - people sharing their physical sensations through their cyberbrain connections - is from the manga. In the manga, e-sex can 'only' happen between people of the same sex due to physical differences.)

Okay I feel like squeeing now!

Today kink_bingo opened for sign-ups and after refreshing the page like mad around 2:50pm I have my card now~ It's all very exciting.

( Here it is~ )

In less kinky matters, I think I'm going to have to drop hardmode and au_bigbang for a few reasons. For hardmode I cut out the female-centric part as much as I could, but as I came to the end I was faced with the following issues where, in the initial outline, the two plotlines would merge. Basically, I could have the two groups meet and have the women go 'oh we had a major crisis on our hands but it's okay now, WHAT HORRORS DID YOU SEE? OURS WEREN'T IMPORTANT,' or I could go with the old excuse of 'oh dear, communication equipment malfunction, sorry we couldn't help you and just sat here twiddling our thumbs because the author didn't know what to do with us.' Or not explain their sudden absence at all and just dig a big plot hole. None of these outcomes are appealing.

The other reason is that the more I consider submitting my work to a beta and media creator while its in the rough draft stage, the more nervous and anxious I get. It's probably unfounded but at this point, I'm still having a tough time diffusing that nervousness and I think it might be better I don't try to force the event right now. :c

au_bigbang is really far behind (only 5000~ words), my enthusiasm for the fic is practically gone, and the beta situation isn't optional there the way it is at hardmode, soooo I'm going to have to pull out of that one as well.

OH WELL. on the other hand, I did get a lot of writing done even if no one ends up seeing it, though I'll likely end up posting it...eventually.

If anyone is curious, I was using Liquid Story Binder when planning and writing the big bang stuff, and I'd highly recommend it. It's a little confusing at first, and some of the features I found completely useless or redundant, but for planning out a huge storyline with lots of characters and locations and research I found it incredibly helpful. I only used the outline tool, the dossiers (where you can create and store stuff like character bios, using as much or as little information as you want/need) - I used it for location descriptions and MONSTAAAAAR creation, and I'm endlessly tickled that I have this folder full of murderous vines and gigantic swamp fish - and the typewriter tool, which is very much like the Write or Die site but without the lurking terror of horrible noise or losing what you've written. In typewriter mode the screen is blank except for what you type (you can't see your toolbars or minimize the window) and there's no copy/paste tool, so you're forced to either backspace manually if you want to correct or change mistakes, or keep on typing. If you're like me and agonize over word choice/organization and sentence structure to the point that you only get like 200 words done in an hour, the tool is pretty good at stopping that. I was able to write 500~1000 each session which honestly I have never been able to do before, so! There's your infomercial testimonial, flist.

To wrap everything up, here's a checklist of fannish/internet-ish stuff I'm going to try to do every day in June:

-Write 500-1,000 words a day
-Finish, and publicly post, something of 1,000 words or more by the end of the month
-Journal post! (the almost-all November posts were pretty fun...for me. I don't know about my flist since those posts got pretty boring at times. :p )
-Do photo_treasure_hunt's June challenge

Aaaaand that's it for now. c:
