AlphaCen fic: prompt #37, Sound
May. 3rd, 2007 04:58 amSo ages ago I signed up for
fanfic100 and said that I would -- eventually -- write 100 stories about Ronon. I figured I was going to do that anyway, in all likelihood, so what the hell.
I have, however, noticed that my "mainline" fiction has been getting longer and longer by the year, and that at this rate I shudder to think how long it'll take me to get to 100...unless I start writing ficlets in addition to the Major Serious Important Fiction. But I don't do one-shots well, particularly not short one-shots, because I am Continuing Narrative Girl, and I love backstory more than life.
So I'm trying this compromise thing, where I'll write a string of ficlets that can kind of clump together. They won't have the through-line that scenes from a proper story need to have to wrap them all into one thing, but they will be album-snapshot sort of things out of a shared universe...until I feel like changing universes.
In order to ease into this, I'm going the easy route and writing for the Alpha Centauri universe, which I spend entirely too much time thinking about anyway, so I might as well.
WARNING: I have no shame. Expect babies, kittens, snuggling, and all the other ridiculously self-indulgent bullshit that you could possibly want in your group-marriage futurefic. And by "you," I mean "me."
