To the Sixes

Today was a day for writing, and tomorrow I'm going to catch up on my beta work. Here's a snapshot of all the stuff I've been working on for the past week.

Bastard of Kyoshi Island (BoKI) = Prologue completed, portions of chapters 1, 4, and 5 in progress. Current project word count: 3,378

Taking Sights, Chapter 16.5 = First three scenes completed. Current word count: 5,714

Facing Fearful Odds, Book 1, Chapter 7-C = Three scenes done. Current word count: 2,041

Facing Fearful Odds, Book 2, Chapter 11* = About 1/2 of 11-A and 95% of 11-C are completed. Current word count: 7,153

(* When FFO is posted, the first chapter of Book 2 will be titled as 'Chapter 1 (of 13)' but it's just easier to keep everything in order by using a continuous numbering system across all three books.)


Overall it's been a moderately productive week. I'm finally starting to make some headway in FFO 7-C after dithering over two potential plot routes, but since I made up my mind it's flowing a lot more smoothly. FFO 11 has been great fun to write as it's focus is on Team Avatar getting caught up in classic "wacky, time-wasting nonsense."

I've joined the AU Big Bang. If you're curious about what that is, check out their FAQ... or check out this completed Doctor Who Big Bang.

I debated for a few days about which AU project of mine I wanted to do for it, but I eventually settled on two ideas. Right now I'm intending to do with a Suki-centric AtLA fic called The Bastard of Kyoshi Island, though I -may- cop out and end up doing a Katara-centric fic that would either be called The Death of Adabito or The Boy is the Father of the Man. The premises for these two AUs would be:

The Bastard of Kyoshi Island: What if Suki had been a firebender? (The premise is based on an off-cuff joke in the series finale.)
The Death of Adabito: What if Hakoda had found Katara a waterbending master? (The master's name is not Hama.)
