Big updates (and survey results)!

Okay, it’s been over a week since the last person responded to my survey, so I’m declaring it closed. I have to say, I was a little surprised by the responses, but mostly I was surprised by the number of them!

My het stories seem to be the most popular right now, with just a few more readers and Kiss and Tell being most popular overall. Of my finished stories, though, the Sweetest Downfall Series eked out a narrow win against Loaded God Complex. And I was surprised that Audience of One got quite a few votes as well!

But now I have one more finished story than I did when the poll went live. As of today, In the Dark is completed! It’s been a long time coming, and of course it’s always a little bittersweet to see a story end, but I’m excited to work on some other projects…

…beginning with Camp NaNoWriMo! Cherry Lips was the favorite ‘coming soon’ story by a narrow margin, and so it will be my Camp Novel. I’m setting my goal low because April looks to be a busy month for me, but I’m excited to finally get this story underway.

Look for the first chapters of it soon, along with the last chapters of Truth is a Whisper!!

Help!

I need some help, you guys!

You’re probably used to me doing a survey about my fics each year, and I figured it was just about time for another one. I’ve taken a few questions off that haven’t changed since last year, so it’s a little shorter. But it’s actually a bit more important — your choice for the coming soon story you most want to see may help me figure out what to do for April’s Camp NaNoWriMo session.

So go vote! Lemme know what you think of my fic!

Happy New Year!

I gotta say, this has been a good year for me. Maybe not a good year hanfic-wise, but a good year nonetheless. And as it comes to an end, I wanted to post a little something to update you guys on how the year went. It hasn’t been my most productive year, nor has it changed much since my last update, so this should be brief. Still, it’s below the jump to save space and scrolling.

NaNoWriMo!

It’s OVER.

This year was rough. If it weren’t for sick days, snow days and holidays, I don’t think I would have gotten through it with the full 50k. The fact that I split that 50k up between two of my WIPs definitely helped, though. Here’s how it all worked out…

In the Dark is finished. I repeat, In the Dark is finished. I’ve already posted one of the new chapters, but I still have eighteen chapters and an epilogue to edit and post. It’ll be a while before this one is published in full, but I’m glad to be that close to having it totally done.

Since that didn’t quite take 50k, I also added four new chapters to Kiss and Tell. Right now, I have something like ten more chapters written than posted, so it will be a while before I have to worry about writing more of this one. That’s okay, though.

And that’s basically it for me for the year (aside from hopefully working on some of my collabs). The only other project I have on my plate is a little Christmas gift for you guys. And you get to pick what it is! Head over to my LJ to vote on a poll to help me determine which of my fics to write an outtake from for Christmas.

Check back soon for that fic and a yearly wrap-up!

Happy Halloween!

It’s Halloween, NaNoWriMo Eve and the three quarter mark for 2014! Even though NaNo begins in an hour and a half, I’m an old lady a full time employee who just can’t stay up that late. So I’m just going to post a quick update on my fic progress for the year so far, then hit the sack.

Before I do that, though, I do want to remind everyone that the Blank Page Awards are going on right now. I’m nominated for quite a few years, and I’d love it if any of you guys voted for me. But I would love it if you voted in general, even if you pick someone else’s stories. Just go vote! 🙂

And now, my fic progress update…

News and… old news?

Just a quick note here to let everyone know that I’ve started to post Kiss and Tell. I’ve put the first three chapters up, and I hope to post more soon.

And I also wanted to mention that I finished Songs Left Unsung a few weeks ago, but I think I forgot to post about it then.

Exciting times, huh? Okay, maybe just for me 😛

Bled Dry is here!

If you’ve joined the LJ comm, you got a headstart, but Bled Dry, the first story in the Pieces Fit series, is now posted here on Extemporaneous, too.

We’re really, really excited about sharing this story with you all. But don’t think that we’ve given up on our other collabs! We will hopefully have updates on them Hanson soon.

I survived!

That’s right, I survived another round of Camp NaNoWriMo. Here are a few quick updates about how I did… and some other news…

My first project of Camp was actually the last one I added: five oneshots to celebrate the five year anniversary of the Sweetest Downfall series. They turned out really well, if I do say so myself, and they’re all up on the page I just linked. Check them out 🙂

My next project was Songs Left Unsung, which is getting closer and closer to completion. I wrote four chapters and only need to write at most six more to finish it, so I’m hoping to get that done in August. It will be a big load off my mind to get this behemoth off my shoulders.

In the Dark is much farther from completion, but I’m still trucking along on it. I added five chapters last month.

And the one I haven’t shared at all yet: Kiss and Tell. It was my April camp project, and I’m almost far along enough in it to feel comfortable sharing it.

But first…

Amber and I are still working, and lately we’ve really been feeling Bled Dry, the first story in the Pieces Fit series. You can head over to the LiveJournal community for it and join up to read the first chapter very, very soon. We will be sharing it here, too, but we’ve already posted some little tidbits related to the series. So.. check it out!

More updates to come soon!

Halfway there!

It’s the end of June and that means two things. One, it’s time for Camp NaNoWriMo (more on that in a minute). Two, it’s time for another one of my little progress reports. Check out my progress below the jump!

Post-Camp NaNo Updates

Since I’m done with Camp NaNoWriMo now, I figured it was time to update you guys again on how things are going with my fic. So here we go:

Bled Dry — No real progress to report here. At least, nothing that can be shared yet. We have finished outlining it, though, and worked on the layout and LJ comm for it. Not sure when we will have anything written to share, since it’s third on the priority list of collabs with Amber. But we’ll get to it, eventually.

I Will Try To Fix You — We should have a chapter of this to share very soon, once we get it edited. This one is quickly moving up our priority list.

In the Dark — I’m starting to panic about this one, because I’ve realized I am running out of the chapters I had written during NaNo last year. I may need to make this my July NaNo project to get more of it written, but I have a feeling I will need new chapters to share even before then.

Kiss and Tell — My April Camp NaNo project. I set my goal at 30k and I reached it late last night! I have 14 chapters now, and I’m going to set them aside for a bit before I start editing them. Hoping to share them in a month or so.

Naked Magic — I have absolutely, totally dropped the ball on this one. Collabs with Amber have taken priority over it, but now that NaNo is over, I hope I can work on this again and we can finally share the first chapter(s).

Songs Left Unsung — No progress on this one, I’m afraid. I do feel a little bit better about it than the note on my last chapter implied, but I’m still nervous about getting the ending right. I really hope to have this finished in the next month or two.

Truth is a Whisper — We’ve almost written a dozen chapters on part 3, and I’m pretty amazed that we’ve made it so far so fast. Once we do have a dozen, we’ll have reached a natural stopping point… at which point we’re going to shift our focus to Fix You. We will come back to Truth, though. It’s just a temporary break.

And that’s it for now! Keep checking back for new chapters of all the above, because I never post here about individual story updates. I will, however, post here when some of those coming soon stories finally make their debut.
