Recap and beyond
Aug. 4th, 2011 03:48 pmOkay. So I've decided to not do any more stuff for that fabulous meme. (At least, not right now. I'm feeling like I've done too much on there, in proportion to what else has been written.) But! I thought I'd do a recap on what I have written for it, just to get it out of my system.
1. Embodiment
2. The Organic Method
3. Nine Tenths
4. Working It Out
5. In Good Repair
Yep. Five stories, all mine. XD I'm still getting my act together to put them all on my AO3 account, but I'm getting there.
This was an excellent filling-in-the-gaps thing to do, but now I'm off trying to work on other stories, like (the sadly neglected) Visitors and Two if by Sea. It was kind of a trade-off, doing all those stories, because I was able to be focused and accomplish what I wanted, but I wasn't working on any of my long-term projects while I did those five quickies.
So, I've gone back and re-read Visitors and am now working on the final part of that. It amazes me how much I still have to go before I get to the end, and I'm left wondering if there will ever be any sort of resolution to the UST that's building between Hakkai and Sanzo. I don't know. It may be off-screen resolution, which blows, but I'm still having trouble fitting the terms of such a relationship into the constraints of the story. (Maybe it will be an epilogue instead?) It seems like the UST is getting rather short shrift, is all.
Other stories I'm tinkering with...I'm still mulling over the possibilities of MFL!Saiyuki. I know there's more story in there, but it's a super-slow growing thing at the moment.
Equally slow is the post-college modern AU Saiyuki story that (I don't believe) I've even posted a snippet from on here. That's probably because I haven't got much actual story for it yet, just character sketches and a few pages of scenes.
...I should probably go and write more now. ^_^
