Stuff Currently on My Plate
Aug. 26th, 2009 09:54 amI've been taking a short break since finishing the rough draft of Chapter 5-A' of FFO. Here's what I've been up to:
Fun Question: Does anyone know any good recipes that involve goat cheese? I've recently come into possession of a surplus of the stuff and there's only so many times I can make a pasta cream sauce with it before I start going "bb~aaAAAAaaaahhhhh".
- Doing some new fills for the Persona 4 kink meme.
- Chipping away at some beta work for another fanfic writer.
- Writing some analysis essays (gender, politics, foreshadowing) about "Mega Man: Guiding Rainbow's Light", which presents one of the more interesting expanded fanfic worlds I've seen since "Childhood of a Modern Dynasty".
- Plotting ahead for Books 2 and 3 of FFO.
- Listening to the latest Writing Excuses podcasts.
- Bumming around the SpaceBattles forums.
- Considering what, if any, projects I want to do in the Evangelion fandom after I finish Taking Sights. I've talked about a few plot bunnies here in the past, and An Exchange of Fates still twigs my Spider-Sense as having a lot of potential, but I'm leaning more and more towards Taking Sights being my last long-form work in the Evangelion fandom. It's not that the fandom has exhausted its potential for good stories -- if anything, it's ignoring them in favor of OOC shipping and shitty crossover fics -- but that I have a damn hard time writing for the characters of Evangelion. I can belt out 20k or 30k of Harry Potter or Avatar: The Last Airbender fic in the time it takes me to do 5,000 words for Taking Sights.
- Repairing two flat tires on my car -- fucking bumpy back-country roads and fucking weakass stem valves....
