To the Sixes

That's how I'm feeling about the home stretch of FMB Chapter 2. I've edited it down and it's still 12k with another ~2k to go. EDIT: Never mind. I found a work around. Chapter 2 of FMB is off to the betas!


On other project fronts, I'm...

* Junking my current outline for Bastard of Kyoshi Island, because it's too effing long and I want the project to be manageable for the Big Bang.
* Stalled out on Alike in Heart, for several reasons.
* Finished a Kyoshi-centric drabble that I'll be posting (and expanding?) soon.
* Scaling back my plans for Praise Be to Nero's Neptune. Along with Facing Fearful Odds and Taking Sights, it'll be the last MEGA fanfic projects I'm going to be working on. From now on, I want to stick to the sub-50,000 word range. Too much damn time investment is needed to complete them. On that note, is anyone reading this interested in being a Praise Be beta reader? Because cold calling the FFnet beta listings has prove spectacularly unsuccessful.

On a completely unrelated note, they're apparently making a Young Justice animated series helmed by the guy who did Gargoyles. My inner geek rejoices at the thought of Miss Martian, a fairly obscure character, getting airtime. It'll help keep her from being stuffed in a fridge for a few years at least. Interestingly, they're not using Wonder Girl on the show because of some crazy rights issue. Apparently neither she nor Wonder Woman can appear in a TV show unless they're a main character. Who knew?

FMB: (Ch. 02)  10,292  10,469  (+177)
AiH:  5,697  6,645  (+948)
BoKI:  5,828

Edit: 5:30pm -- Aaaand in that great Circle of Life recycling of plot devices, Alike in Heart now has a (quasi) non-linear nature to it again. A straight out rewrite of Season 1 didn't work out so well, so I'm inter-cutting between the pre-Aang years and the events of The Warriors of Kyoshi. There's no stream-of-consciousness to it, unlike a previous incarnation of this Sokka genderswap. I suspect there may be yuri in it too, eventually, just to get back to the original plot bunny for this fic.

FMB: (Ch. 02) 8,068  9,362  (+1,294)
AiH: 5,697  didn't get to this one today, sorry
BoKI: 3,643 4,759  (+1,126)

EDIT: What the hell, juggling is no fun unless there are at least 3 balls in the air.
