IT'S OFFICIAL!
Mar. 20th, 2010 03:59 pm...YEA. MY BUNNY WON.
I AM NOW AN OFFICIAL PARTICIPANT IN THIS YEAR'S NaNoWriMo. If y'all don't know what it is, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. Starting in November, the challenge is to write 50,000 words in that month, starting from scratch. Outlines and plot planning can be done beforehand, but the goal is to write, write, and write some more and try not to self-edit along the way. My pen name is "Phoeny"; I don't know if you can search the authors yet. I've some time to plot and plan before I write with "literary abandon" but I have a favor to ask my flist!
PLEASE DEMAND THAT I WRITE MORE. ESPECIALLY EVERY DAY IN NOVEMBER. JUST DO IT. Eventually it'll guilt my butt off, and offend me so much, that I will write. Bonus points if y'all make sad faces, and threaten puppies and kittens and other cute stuff to "help" me along. Or you can pretend to extend my paid account and gift me more icon space to "reward" me. /wishful thinking
REMEMBER YOU CATCH MORE FLIES WITH HONEY THAN VINEGAR. IDK. Any form of "encouragement" will do.
As for me, I've a whole plan cooking up. Everyday I'll take maybe 5 minutes to plan what's in the story. And for an hour I'll work on what's left on my writing plate.
What I got so far for my NaNoWriMo piece is about 1000 words already. In my head. YEA FOR SCENARIOS AND FLASHBACKS. It's about Lightning's pre-game story, mostly interpreted by me, with plenty of plausible events and triggers that make her into what you saw at the beginning of the game. It will roughly cover about...6 years. If somehow I reach 50,000 words and I'm still not done with the outline then...it will be expanded.So who wants to help me edit that potential behemoth later? *Shot, sniped and rifled*
What I do have on my plate is:
My AU "Call Me" (Neapolitan)
Collab with a writer on the Kink Meme
Collab with different writer on fic challenge (threesome...no it's not Neapolitan)
NaNoWriMo piece...haven't got a title yet
Thinking of:
Character Analysis of XIII (only Playable + Serah), including shipping tendencies DONE! Here, here, andhere.
Parallel of Older Man/Younger Female Protege trope (and how I can't ship Light/Hope)
Snow/Serah prompt based on a song by The Cars (HURR DURR NOT A SONGFIC)
...Another Farroncest (could be Kink prompt, could be another 1sentence) HERE!.
THIS IS DOABLE. EVEN WITH VIDEO GAME PLAYING. D: (Why so long to CP farm?)
ETA: Wrote another Farroncest. Ish.
And I think I have a tentative title for my NaNo piece: Hey Soul Sister (What, it works! And I have the song on repeat).

Date: 2010-05-21 03:06 am (UTC)I self-edit like woah, so if you can keep that up, more power to you! Seriously. It'd give you internet points, and we all know how awesome internet points are.
I can be the most annoying person ever, so I think I could threaten a few kittens (not the puppies, never the puppies! ;_;) and maybe send a few bomb threats.
*ahem*
We'll see how that scheduele holds up. CAN YOU DO IT, PHOENY?
I think I've said it before, it sounds like a nice idea for a fic. DOES IT HAVE TRAINING MONTAGES AND ANGST? If you haven't got anyone else, I'll give it a shot at helping out, but yeah. However it goes down.
...Not Neapolitan? Interesting. XD
I'll look forward to all the analyses.

Date: 2010-05-21 04:25 am (UTC)Ohoho, I have a built-in self editor. I always backtrack, and I must rid myself of this...unfortunate habit if I'm going to succeed. Whatever works at encouraging me, release it! *Ka-pow*
NOT A QUESTION OF CAN OR CAN'T. JUST DO. /Light
THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF TRAINING MONTAGES
for fillerand ANGST IS INHERENT. Maybe some Farroncest, ala "Sisterhood" verse. But I'm totally toning down on the smut and incest. Because it's more of a general audience that might potentially read it or something. X.XHey if you're up for editing, that's cool.
...THAT'S RIGHT. NOT MY FAVE ICE CREAM LOVINGS.

Date: 2010-05-21 05:46 am (UTC)Well, being full of stress and anger might help you relate to Lightning more (at times). So... score 1?
Self-editors win... except for when they stop you from getting things done... *facepalm*
TRAINING MONTAGES AND ANGST? THEN I AM SO IN. Fuck yeah, Sisterhood-verse! And fair enough on the smut/incest. It's not everyone's cup of tea, if you're going for the general audience.
Good god. Then I predict Snow/Serah/Light
because I have to put the bets onno subject
Date: 2010-05-21 03:04 pm (UTC)Probably. Especially if it's going to be first person POV?
YESH EYE OF THE TIGER. IT'S THE THRILL OF THE FIGHT~~ Ohoho "Sisterhood"-verse! Now...original ending or the alternate? Decisions, decisions...
AHAHA...
Deadbeat hobo will make a cameono subject

Date: 2010-05-24 02:50 am (UTC)K, several canon phrases I've yet to understand. D: I WILL GET FFXIII THIS SUMMER, I WILL MAKE SURE OF THAT.
OMGGGGG! I can't believe you mentioned "Hey, Soul Sister!" LMAO, this is going to sound weird and sudden as hell, but I always thought of you whenever I heard that song! That, and "All The Right Moves" (meh) by OneRepublic (MEH). That usually made it better for me, though.
But, yeah, it's one of those songs that never gets old. Writing progress for the damn win! Appropriate icon usage fyt and dedication.

Date: 2010-05-24 03:21 am (UTC)LMFAOOOOOOOO I LOVE THIS SONG EVEN THOUGH THE BEGINNING REMINDS ME OF JASON MRAZ. Such a clever strategist I am, "All the Right Moves". WORK AT MY MYSTICAL POWERS.
Lightning+ Gaga= LADY LIGHTNING. IT'S SO CANON. SHE'S A FREE BITCH.
ETA: Also, the man in the icon? YUMMY.
you a very busy girl!
Date: 2010-06-22 03:20 pm (UTC)Oh wow I get to bitch at you? Well what are you waiting for, woman?! Come on, writing boot camp! I'll give you cookies!
I ship fucking everything in Final Fantasy which says something...I don't care. :| I am normally really OMG NO I ONLY SHIP ONE WAY. But hey it makes fandom funny.
Re: you a very busy girl!
Date: 2010-06-22 03:33 pm (UTC)FFFFFFF...you don't get to bitch at me...yet. :3
I KNOW. ESPECIALLY FOR XIII. I ship Lightning/everything that moves. S-sob, my poor fandom bicycle.
Re: you a very busy girl!
Date: 2010-06-22 03:50 pm (UTC)XD Aww.
Totally. She's replaced Cloud as my ultimate fandom bicycle. Poor girl. XD
Re: you a very busy girl!
Date: 2010-06-22 04:27 pm (UTC)sanitysouls away~~LOL Maybe not for NaNo, but I guess the other pieces are game?
Cloud especially! I'm even juggling her with characters from other FF series. orz Must not write it out...
