affirmation: i control my wips

[hth]

I'm at the point with the Bride of Ronon story where I'm desperate to be thinking about ANYTHING AT ALL other than the Bride of Ronon story, so I'm going through my WIPs. This is not making me feel better, somehow.

So for the sake of feeling like I am in control of my fanfiction in some minor way, I'm trying to separate Things That I Deeply Want and Need To Write from Things That Seemed Like a Good Idea At the Time, But Seriously, I Can Only Commit to So Much.

Is it a victory to winnow my way down to five SGA and thirteen non-SGA projects? That...still sounds like a lot, somehow. Nonetheless, here it is: my Seriously Final List of WIPs that I am not abandoning and I do care about and will be allowed to continue living inside my brain. EVERYTHING ELSE MUST GO.


Caesare et Candide (Smallville, Lex/Lana, Lana/Chloe, sequel to "Metropolis Girls")

Candyland (CSI, the Nick-adopts-a-kid story)

Catholic Girls Start Much Too Late (Sports Night, Casey/Dan)

Common (SGA, OT4)

Dancing Barefoot (SGA, the Teyla's Baby story)

Entirely Beautiful (Homicide, the non-Frank/Tim Frank/Tim story)

Go Changing (popslash, that non-miserably-depressing Timbertrick that I promised to write for merryish like four years ago)

Insomniac (popslash, Justin/Trace)

La Vie Pensee (SGA, the Rent AU)

Lens (BtVS, Willow/Tara)

Mutant Beauty (X-Files, episode-related for "First Person Shooter," Scully/Phoebe, Scully/Jade Blue)

No & Yes (BtVS, semi-gen, Willow, Tara, the Mom Story)

Older and Far Away (SGA, Ronon/Melena, Ronon/Teyla, the body modification challenge story)

Sixteen Instinctive Behaviors (Sentinel, only two sections left, omg!)

Threshold (X-Files, alterate future)

untitled lizard fic (SG1, Daniel/Chaka, don't judge me!)

untitled My So-Called Life/Atlantis fusion (which will SO NOT BE named "My So-Called Atlantis," thank you)

untitled Veronica Mars futurefic (Veronica/Duncan/Logan)

So...when I finish Bride of Ronon...I'm going to get right on those.

Le sigh.

This suddenly makes me feel better about my burgeoning list of WIPs.

Sixteen Instinctive Behaviors (Sentinel, only two sections left, omg!)

OMG indeed!! Though I have pretty much stopped reading most TS I have never given up hope that this would be finished. *hugs*

I will be quietly optimistic. And very, very patient.

But, but only two sections left?!? Did you write more after Blowpop? Cuz I've only saved 12 parts, not 14...

I came from metafandom for your "legal beagles?" post, and then I saw this and had to comment:

Mutant Beauty (X-Files, episode-related for "First Person Shooter," Scully/Phoebe, Scully/Jade Blue)

Squee! The first time I saw "First Person Shooter," all I could think about was that Scully and Phoebe really, really needed slashing. I wish you the best of luck with finishing this WIP, and I'll be the first in line to read it when it's done. :o)
