ETA:  I wrote this right before LJ crashed early this morning - YAY, LJ saved a draft for me!

I was working on two ficathon pieces and moving right along and having a grand old time, and then I got a stupid head cold and couldn't think straight for a week. (Did you know they've changed the formulas of Dayquil and Nyquil? Knocked me sideways, sheesh.) But I've felt much better for 3 or 4 days now, yet haven't gotten back to writing. This is me. I go in spurts. Sometimes I don't write for weeks. Usually that's right after finishing up a story of some length and not really feeling the need to be saying anything else for a while.

But right now I'm filled with ideas and I'm wasting a lot of time running scenarios in my head and NOT WRITING THEM DOWN.

So I decided to make a list, like other people on my flist have been doing lately and see if I can get some things crossed off, either as completed or abandoned.

~~~~
UNDERWAY, TO AT LEAST SOME DEGREE

Working title: "Methinks". PG, 300 words, not touched in nearly TWO YEARS. Hammond POV that hit a stumbling block. I should just throw caution to the winds and finish this up, no matter how crappy, yes? I just need to flip a couple of coins, or go with my gut. Something.  Completed and posted Oct. 8th

Working title: "Triple Threat". NC-17. 300 words (mainly notes), Daniel/jack. Not touched in nearly a year and a half. Incorporates requests from three readers, who probably have moved on to other fandoms by now. Why can't I get into the D/s headspace like I used to? (I think it's my lowered hormone levels, srsly.) This fic could be emotionally powerful or stupid or both... but if I manage to make the hot part hot will anyone care about the weak bits? *g*

Working title: "Rex II". 525 words, not touched in 8 months. A sequel to 'Lost and Found'. I've never quite figured out the point to it all, but I probably should write all the scenes that are stuck in my head and maybe a beta can figure out what the point is? It's a good chance to write a Season Ten team story (Cam and Vala are great in this) and Rex is so intriguing.

Working title: "New Heights, New Depths". NC-17, Daniel/jack. A new kink! 200 words, started last month. I've researched the hell out of this one, and I know I got turned on! Different in one major way from my other D/s stories, so it might be a good way to try to get back on good terms with these boys without feeling like I need to recapture old mojo. I know a lot of readers would enjoy it if I got back to my roots. (You know who you are.) ;-)  ETA: 1/3 to 1/2 done and posted on Dreamwidth on April 30th.  Have beta notes but haven't returned to finish it since. 

Probable title: "Sunward I've Climbed". NC-17, or it will be as soon as I write the sex! 1,100  3,000 words as of 10/22. Lil Black Dress ficathon assignment - not due until December. I very much like what I've got here; I just need to write a sex scene with lots of emotional resonance and it's done. Easy peasy, right?  Completed and sent to betas 10/22.  Posted 12/13 

Working Title: "P3X-let's not talk about it". 500  2100 (as of Oct. 8th) words, Gen, probably PG. For the Spook Me ficathon, so it's due in a few weeks. I need to work on this Right Now. It's all plotted out, I just need to take it slow and aim for creepy and chilling. I think I'm off to a good start.  Beginning and ending completed.  Completed 10/20..

PLANNED/PROPOSED/PROMISED/PERCOLATING

[livejournal.com profile] jd_junkiewants to know what Jack and Daniel were doing before they rushed into the Gateroom (Daniel pulling on his jacket) at the start of Upgrades. i noticed Jack was tugging at his trousers, so I think I have a general idea.... *eg*   Completed and posted Oct. 7th

Sequel to the recent 'In These Dreams', because everybody wants to meet Bjorn, right? And I realized I can use up a plot bunny in the process. Could be leading to a third story, or might wrap things up. I won't know until I get there. ETA: Companion drabble, Daniel POV, posted 12/10.  Lots of new insights, yay!  Done and done and done, etc.  Eight chapters!  :-) 

A very, very old bunny with a working title of "A Hundred Shades of Gray", so I guess you can figure out what two episode arc is being covered. One by one I eliminate the oldest ideas from my Story Ideas folder as I realize how lame they are, but this one sticks around. I hope to get it written some day. It used to have a really clever opening (in my head), but kindly beta readers have made me a better writer and I could never write it that way now! Damn it. LOL.  ETA: very helpful IM chat with [livejournal.com profile] dragojustine on 11/19.  Lots of good insights.  More yay! 

Various sequels are always in the realm of possiblity. I make a note whenever one is requested that makes sense to me. Even if I thought the story was complete... I've been proven wrong quite a few times. :-) 'Matinee/Idyll', 'Ob-La-Di' and 'Climbing High Into the Sun' are the most recent requests.

Methinks you should throw in some Walter and write away!

I also vote for New Kink and I love the title "P3X-let's not talk about it".

Maybe you can write your clever opening as an alternative opening. (I like to compare things.) Besides, maybe 'better' is in the eye of the beholder.

OMG Bjorn!

I have an idea.

Bjorn likes deep penetration and since Jack is longer than Daniel, Daniel solicits Jack for a threesome.

It's a good thing your Intensity series is on the web; otherwise, I'd have already worn out my copy.

And you're being such a tease with this new kink!

You're good.

How about you write a scenerio where Daniel would use that line on Jack, and show us your brain? Then we'll all know! Then we'll be happy to do it to everybody! :D

"Would it help if I got down on my knees?"

Daniel narrowed his eyes, staring Jack down from across the room while his words sliced the air between them to ribbons. Jack winced. He certainly had not been implying some kind of subservient behavior when he suggested that Daniel needed to get over himself and bend just a little on this one, but it was a fine line between persistant Daniel and seriously pissed off Daniel and apparently, he'd jumped it.

"Daniel, don't be an ass," he said and turned to walk back towards the gate.

***********************

"Would it help if I got down on my knees?"

The words, only a choked and tear-filled whisper, were heartbreaking and Jack paused for a moment to turn and look. Daniel sprawled on the muddy ground as he clutched the obviously dead man next to him, looking up. Pleading. Jack hung his head in resignation. Daniel, you cannot start bargaining with a God you've ignored just because there's nothing else left to try. A hoarse sob escaped the man at his feet. "Please," he begged. Jack felt the inescapable pull, was helpless to stop it. He wasn't Daniel. There were no bright lights, no greeting parties, no coming back. "Jack, you can't die. Not like this." Apparently, he could.

***********************

"Would it help if I got down on my knees?"

Daniel asked him gently. "I have a longer torso and you are a few inches taller and I think if you stand on my shoulders between the two of us, there's enough height that you can see over the wall and figure out how we're getting out of here." There were a lot of reasons he wasn't in the field on a regular basis anymore and having his team protect his ego was certainly right up near the top. Jack heaved a wounded sigh and took Carter's outstretched hand to help him up as Daniel braced against the wall.

***********************

"Would it help if I got down on my knees?"

Daniel's breath against his ear was doing as much for his libido as the suggestion itself. The younger man matched action to word, slowly turning on the edge of the bed, not losing skin contact as he maneuvered the two of them to a more suitable position for the task. He slid his hands down the back of Jack's thighs, pulling him closer, and then stretched his arms over his head and around an acquired pillow as he lowered his shoulders to the mattress. "Batter up, big boy," he murmured into the pillow. Jack smiled as he rounded third base and slid home. Who the hell knew they'd been playing baseball all these years?

take me out to the ball game...

actually, that would be a cool device to mess with and I realized that after I became enamoured of the last lines I had written. I lacked the desire to go back and reincorporate other subtle baseball references.

so do you like to mess with words purely for the pleasure of seeing how you can contort an idea while still feeding a plot/character line or are you all about the actual plot (and occasionally, delightful lack-thereof) and character development?

Please not to be killin' Jack!

I was reading that one and was wondering who Daniel cared enough about to be holding in the mud and crying out to God. Then the punch landed. Ouch.

Of course the last one brought me back to my happy place. Thanks!

Write it, most definitely! I mean, it's you, and it's a kink. What's not to love?

Not that I'd be adverse to some more teasing, or a hint or two, or possibly a sneak peak. Or maybe, you know, a big honking announcement!

New kink! And Hammond!

But these all sound good to me. Don't lose those ideas!

Not being able to get into the headspace I need has been killing me on one older fic that ::grits teeth:: I am never giving up on. I so hear you on the headspace issue.

And the cold meds. I hate those things -- they make me high as a kite, and not in the fun way.

this all sounds splendid. your bunny/wip list makes me squee.

and i wouldn't worry about trying to duplicate what you've done in the past with your D/s verse. it's splendid and any future would be splendid even if different. if you add on, or create some new scenarios or change the setup -- it's all good. i love your writing and i totally trust you. you know what you're doing. as you change and build on what comes before, there's no problem for your reader.

yay for fic.

Sequel to the recent 'In These Dreams', because everybody wants to meet Bjorn, right

I like that idea - I think most of your flist would like to get a look at Bjorn right before Daniel drops him like a hot potato now that he knows Jack is interested. :)
