Dun dun duuuuuuun!
Sep. 4th, 2010 11:07 pmOkay. So I finally have cause to use the naughty filters, should I so choose. Namely, I have written something kind of explicit--and by kind of, I mean it's probably the most explicit fic I've ever written. It even has *gasp* naughty words. And, amazingly, it's the shortest fic I've ever written, bar none. It's just a hair over 1500 words. ^_^
The problem is, I am now dithering about where/when to post it. I admit I am a needy writer, and would like people to both read and comment. I don't want to feel like I'm sticking into a vortex, you know? That means I should find myself an appropriate community, either here or elsewhere. Also, I admit, I'd rather do something about it somewhere where I don't have to set up (yet another) account in order to post it.
Originally, I had started on it as a kind-of-sort-of piece for this month's AU challenge on saiyuki_wk_au, but it kind of came out significantly less AU than I'd intended...but now that it's done, I'm not going to mess around with it to try to make it more AU, because I like it how it is. This begs the question: is it AU enough? I mean, I've taken a bit of a metaphorical stance on the prompt, rather than a more literal interpretation, but I don't consider what I've done to be particularly in keeping with the canon. Argh. I just can't decide.
This quickie has kind of interfered with my other weekend ficcing plans, but I feel pretty damn satisfied nonetheless. I had intended to spend my weekend working on the next chapter of Entropy, and maybe the next part of Two if by Sea, and even more remotely, another part of the French decadence Weiss fic. (I've already begun to draft the introduction of Yohji to Manon, though I confess laziness, in that I mostly stuck to scribbling down the dialogue.)
I ought to take some sort of vow about Entropy...I can't help but feel disappointed that I haven't done as much with it thus far as I've wanted to. Yes, okay, I'm working on the thirty-third chapter, and yes, the story is over the 50,000-word mark. But still. My plans to do a chapter a week have been failing miserably. I think I'm going in the wrong direction, somehow. The only problem is, I can't seem to find my way back to where I really wanted the story to go. And looking back at my original notes doesn't help because the darn thing has changed so much since I first drafted the concept in February of '09. (Yes, it really has been that long.) I'm just in that crappy transitional position where I need to miraculously yank the story from point A to point B so that I can continue on with the plot as planned. (I'm quite fond of the general direction of the plot--and some parts of it in particular. I'm mystified as to how it got off track.)
Anyway, must go sleep now. I've got an early morning tomorrow.
