ok tell me about the wildest AU you've written (writing meme)

Sure, start me off with an easy one, lol XD

I'm going to go ahead and exclude crossovers (though if I was including them, probably the Jedi of Valdemar AU would be up there). I'm also going to exclude AU concepts that came up back in the day with a lot of freeform RP stuff. Because a) that's collaborative and not entirely mine; and b) that's different from stuff I intend to actually Write (even if sometimes it starts from a similar place). I'm also limiting this to stuff that got past the 'hey wouldn't it be wild if' stage; meaning at least some notes got jotted down for a planned writing project even if it never went anywhere in the end, but also didn't go so far as to 'you know, I'm just gonna file off the serial numbers and make this an original project'. Lastly, along those lines, I'm going to stick to fanfic projects, in part because while I do absolutely make AUs of my original stuff, most of them aren't all that wild soooo.

ALL THAT BEING SAID here are a few I think are fun/wild:

So, a thing some of y'all may not know about me is that I have a lot of...what I call fractal AUs? Where I make AUs of my own AUs. Like, I primarily write canon-divergent stuff, so then it's a matter of 'okay what if This Additional Factor went differently,' etc. It is in this spirit that I mention the fact that I had at least partially plotted out an End!Verse AU for Heaven on Their Minds back when I was in the SPN fandom.

I wrote a one-shot summary/very brief AU where Zuko is killed during Aang's stampede in Ba Sing Se, that one went. Pretty wild. And some of it was--it was written when a few things about Korra had been announced but the show hadn't actually aired, so.

Distaff should probably go up on this list, since I do generally consider it crack treated seriously. (And, speaking of fractal AUs....lol)

I should probably also mention the Rabbit Hole AU (Palpatine raised in the Jedi Temple)

And to bring this to a nice round number (and also bring in one of my other primary fandoms of the moment lol), the Selkie AU for BSG is probably weird enough to count. (I...don't know how much changes between this point and New Caprica, mostly because I haven't decided how well he tolerates being in space for that long, but depending on who ends up with his skin during the occupation, it could get. Very interesting.)

Ask me a question!

(honestly, you could ask me something not on the list, too, let's make this an Open Question Night XD)

Coming Attractions!

Yes, I'm aware it's Tuesday not Monday but shhhhh XD

Just a quick one this month. Not even going to split it up by fandom as I usually do, just kinda blitz through.

So I ended up...essentially taking January off from writing, apart from a scattered few sentences here and there. Which on the one hand was probably good for me but on the other hand I'm behind on projects lol. Ah well.

Priorities for this month: 1. SWBB I'm picking up the project I had to step away from last year. Anakin was not found at age nine and never became a Jedi; we're handwaving that TPM ended roughly the same way anyway because Padme and Obi-Wan are very good at what they do and one of the other pilots got lucky on the droid control ship. Fast-forward to like a year and a half/two years into the Clone Wars, Ahsoka ends up briefly stranded on a planet that's neutral mostly because it's a black market hub. They click pretty quickly, hang out for a while, stumble into a Separatist plot to test a chemical weapon and blame a limnic eruption for the deaths, and Deal With It. Hondo and Bo-Katan are briefly involved because I said so XD 2. P&J We're getting to the part where Ari actually finds stuff out, lol. Getting to Europe and talking with other researchers, etc. There's some interesting stuff in Marseille, and Calais is important. And Ari and Phil continue to be cute in the background. 3. The Other Battlestar Baltar ends up on Pegasus; there's a bunch of stuff built up around the two OCs who fill the plotholes he left behind...I need to get more text down in general, lol. And also figure out how I want to structure it? Like...I do need to establish the new people (including a few on Pegasus, like the senior medical officer, a marine officer, there will also be a Four who gets pulled from the civilian fleet...) and also clarify why Baltar ends up in a different position (and why Helo doesn't because he and Athena still need to meet). And it would probably make the most sense to just go linearly and handle all the miniseries exposition in order. But then again would that actually be Interesting; or would it be better to pick up later and jump back and forth in time...yeah, you see my problem lol. 4. Acheron Javert Groundhog Day fic; looping the last 36ish hours of his life. (from right before he heads to the barricade to his death). 5. Maybe get back into Precipice or write some origfic if I have time/brain.

Longer-range projects: 1. Percussive Maintenance is still hanging out in my head, so I'm tentatively planning on that for GBB (aka the one where the at least two concussions Sam gets during Downloaded unlock Enough of his memories) 2. Or maybe I'll jump back to The Blood of Angry Men, we'll see. (aka a Zarek character study; looking back on his life (and the allies/friends/tools that he's led to their deaths) from the night before his execution) 3. What I'm definitely not doing is any of the crossovers floating around in my head; either the Star Wars ones or the WoT ones. (the one I talked about the other night; and a fusion is actually sort of building in my head because of course it is. Mostly because of the Kara-as-Mat thing I pinged onto the other night; but also Baltar would be an interesting Logain; possibly Zarek as Taim? I think I'd leave Rand as Rand and just fill in the roles around him. Lee also lines up really well with Perrin...and since this would derail pretty early on I feel a little more Flexible about love interests/etc. lol. For reasons of Tuon, Moiraine, and Lan, mostly. Also Faile. Also I'd still want Caprica as a sul'dam, I think, but Logain doesn't have a canon love interest IIRC sooooo that's easier to sort out XD ...although now that I think about it, Athena as Nynaeve and Helo as Lan could work...) 4. Incinctus/other Castlevania things. 5. I'm doing pod_together again once signups open. I need to refine my fandoms list, haha. Not that I haven't had interesting times the last couple years, but it'd be nice to get matched based on something that Isn't a very secondary/tertiary fandom for me again. 6. AtLA may come floating back into my head enough to pick up some of the projects I wandered away from there, we'll see.

Not writing, strictly speaking, but there's some admin/modding stuff for this year's GBB that I should get a move on, especially since the event is moving to May-October, plus helping out with SWBB the way I do every year.

...yeah, that's pretty much where things stand. Hopefully I'll hit a nice groove this month!

What about you guys, what are you working on?

Random Crossover Notes

I don't intend to actually write this (even as an AU outline; at least not yet; I'm hoping it will either die and/or interest some of the maybe five people who are invested in both fandoms enough to be worth exploring further, lol).

But it came bursting back into my head tonight and in an effort to get it out, going to ramble a bit!

This is a Wheel of Time/Battlestar Galactica crossover. (Of the...it's not a fusion exactly; and it's not a 'the Fleet stumbles across this world' direct crossover; it's 'characters from BSG exist and have always existed on this planet and fit into the fabric of this world'. That kind of crossover. the second kind could Also be interesting but that is another problem I Do Not Need

This includes decisions about:

Baltar

Caprica

Tory

Roslin

Billy

Starbuck (though not much)

Some speculation/vague thoughts about Lee and Zarek

Also includes an OC of mine.

Part of why I don't intend to actually Write It is I don't...really have all that much yet.

This did originally exist 10-15 years ago; back when I wrote a single one-shot and had plans for a much longer AU in WoT and was active in BSG fandom. Accordingly, it's more aligned with book!verse than show!verse, though I'd probably bring in some show!verse stuff I liked if I were actually writing the thing. How many of the original details I'm actually remembering (beyond the First Concept Idea) and how are new as of the past few hours, IDEK. It does also involve an OC of mine because screw it, this is my self-indulgent BS, I wanna.

((She could probably be cut in this case but. Again. Mine. I wanna. XD))

Anyway.

So, as with a lot of my initial Concepts, this starts with Baltar. Obviously, he's a channeler.

He's also Seanchan.

He's da'covale, but da'covale to a Very high-ranking High Lord, meaning he has higher status than some of the Lower Blood. He has yet to be identified as a channeler.

My OC, as usual, is Atia, his daughter. She's marath'damane and is well aware of what she is. She's...been raised in this culture, and wouldn't resist the searchers/sul'dam when they come for her...except she's aware of what her father is. She doesn't like the idea of him being gentled/killed and while there's only so much she can do to help she feels like she has to do Something.

Caprica is a sul'dam, in service to the same High Lord/Lady as Gaius and Atia. She and Gaius meet and fall in love with each other; at some point she twigs onto either him or Atia, and the three of them run away together. Not sure if they manage to find a place in the Return fleet or if they cross the ocean All By Themselves, but.

And then at Some point they run into some subset of the WoT cast but...yeah, this is pretty much as far as I got XD Gaius would probably eventually end up at the Black Tower. He and Caprica would probably be Very Into the idea of Warder-bonding each other when they get there.

...and yeah, that's about as far as I got, lol. Figuring out where other BSG characters might fit into this world is...complicated, lol. Partly because only half-remembering the tapestry of cultures/alliances/etc.; partly because in a couple of cases there are roles that would fit An aspect of a character but Very Much Not others (e.g., I can honestly see Lee aligning himself with Galad's subset of the Whitecloaks except there is zero chance of Bill as a Whitecloak sooooooooo yeah. Athena would be either another sul'dam or Aiel, I can't decide which works better. ...actually, Aiel; she and Boomer are both Shaido but Athena breaks with her clan when the Aiel fracture? Or something...)

Anyway, if anyone else has any thoughts I'd appreciate them XD

ETA: So I myself had some additional thoughts, lol.

First--Starbuck and Mat. They just. They would either be Instant Bros or Thoroughly Despise One Another there is no in between. They're just. Like. If I was doing a Fusion, Starbuck would 100% fill the Mat role, they are so much alike and I love them both for it. Anyway, I lean towards timelining it so they can be Bros because that's way more interesting/fun for me personally. See above re: self-indulgence, lol. (They have also slept together at least twice.)

Second--Zarek might actually be interesting as a Whitecloak. Not in the sense that he fully believes/buys into their rhetoric, but...I don't know, it could fit his blend of 'I believe some of this, but I'm also using it as an avenue to gain Power.' And again with the Lee vibes, especially if Lee starts Considering joining as part of the storyline, even if he doesn't start there? IDK though, I keep going back and forth on this one.

Next, Roslin. I toyed with a few different options for her. She's definitely not an Aes Sedai; initially I was thinking she might be the head of one of the groups like the Kin (if I'm remembering the name right? The women who were rejected by the Tower and formed their own quiet underground networks) or an Aiel Wise One. But then I realized--you know who absolutely is an Aes Sedai?

Tory (probably Grey ajah, maybe White).

So then it all falls into place. We squeeze a little country/principality somewhere onto the map; normally the ruler there wouldn't merit an Aes Sedai advisor, but after a messy/disputed succession, Siuan did agree to send someone, and that someone was Tory. Billy, of course, is Roslin's son/heir.

Still thinking about where anyone/everyone else might fit, but also this line:

Caprica--In the end, we're not much more than thieves. We stole a damane. We stole an a'dam. ...we stole ourselves.

...so yeah. XD And now opening it up for additional thoughts.

Hey, I just finished Precipice and I love it! Can I ask for the writers game numbers 7 and 12? I wish you an amazing day today and thank you!

Thank you so much!!!

7. Post Any sentence from your wip

Well, since you specifically mentioned Precipice, here's one from Protectors:

“Stall,” Obi-Wan said. “Do what you can to keep the others from making any irrevocable decisions until we get there. I may not be able to sway things, but…” “But your opinion matters,” Bail agreed. “All right, I’ll do what I can. The sooner, the better.”

(text description in ALT and below the cut)

Based on some rumblings I heard, I ended up quickly throwing together a fun little WIP bingo sheet! I'll admit I largely wrote the prompts for writing, but I think a good number of them should also apply to art!

Ultimately, the goal is to have fun, and finish whatever WIPs you can (without burning yourself out or having a bad time). If you needed a sign to pick up that project you've been putting off, the time is now!

3x4 Bingo square titled "Finish your fucking fics february"

the top three across left to right read "Update your oldest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been buried deep in your drafts", and "Finish a WIP that you haven't posted yet"

the second row reads "Finish a recent WIP", "Finish a WIP you're scared of" and "Finish a WIP that's been haunting you"

the third row reads "Update a partially posted WIP", "Finish any WIP/Free Space", and "Finish the next WIP in a series you've been avoiding"

the last row reads "Update your newest WIP", "Finish a WIP that's been ignored for at least 6 months", and "Finish the next chapter for a fic you've been meaning to for months"

Asking you the writers asks: 11 & 15 ❤️❤️❤️

11.  Books and/or authors who influenced you the most

Oooh, good question. I know at one point I put a bunch of my stuff into 'what author do you sound like' to see what that told me...but that was also ten years ago, lol.

In terms of some of the stuff I like to write wrt politics and intrigue, some of CJ Cherryh's work has stuck with me. Anne Rice and Jean Auel were authors I read at pretty impressionable ages, as was Mercedes Lackey, so they're probably all in the cocktail that is my brain. I know that Suzette Haden Elgin's Native Tongue trilogy had a pretty strong influence on a specific original fiction project of mine.

So, yeah, those are some influences of mine! There are probably more, and I should probably actively think about it a little more closely, haha.

15.  How do you deal with writer’s block?

So, the kind of writer's block I usually have is...I generally don't have trouble coming up with ideas, but making the actual words come out, it's either Pulling Teeth or I write like 5k in a single sitting there's no in between lol.

When I'm in that second mode...sprints will usually help, but sometimes they get frustrating because it's Just Not Working. At that point I usually have to take a step away for a bit, and hopefully not procrastinate too long, especially if it's something for a challenge/deadline, lol.

...I'm not very good at dealing with writer's block, I don't think XD But, yeah, the kind I get it's mostly just...either taking a break until the frustration goes away or sitting down and slogging through.

Ask me a question!

[shadowsong26fic]

17, 30, 40

17.  What writing habits or rituals do you have?

Not...all that many, haha. When I'm in super productive/creative mode, I tend to have a word document or notepad to write stuff down during slow periods at work, or I'll write in the evenings. A lot of times I'll do sprints on my own (set a timer for ten minutes) and usually I have music playing, but not 100% of the time.

30.  Favourite idea you haven’t started on yet

Oooh, tough question. Here's a couple from different fandoms I keep batting around in my head but haven't done any real work on yet:

The newest one is probably the lovingly entitled Percussive Maintenance; basically Sam's memories get at least partially unlocked from one of the like five concussions he gets during Downloaded [BSG]

A BSG/Star Wars crossover; either the Clone Wars trio (plus Rex and maybe Padme) wind up on a basestar (either during the skipped year or during the first half of S3); the Clone Wars trio has a Mortis-esque experience on Kobol while the first landing party is stranded there; something with the Rebels crew and Sam's people on Caprica...there are others too but those three are generally the most present in my head lol

An Obianidala power/roleswap one-shot that I've been planning for the Year of the OTP meme. [SW]

Shifting Alucard's S3/4 timeline by six weeks (basically what happens in the S3 finale is interrupted/forestalled by Greta's messenger) [Castlevania]

And because five is a nice round number--an Avatar Zuko AU [AtLA]

((my Les Mis ideas i am at least semi-actively working on/have started so they don't count lol. and honestly there's a lot of fun crossovers with either bsg or star wars that float in and out of my head at leisure, and some things that i have been poking at that i don't plan on sharing, and. ...yeah my head gets crowded sometimes lol))

40.  Share some backstory for one of your characters

Going to stick to SW since I think that's the primary fandom you and I share and I will pick........::spins wheel of characters:: Kira!

Okay so Kira is an OC of mine who has hopped worlds like. five times. She started out in AtLA, meandered into one of my original worlds, and also into Star Wars.

Basically, her deal is that she's a seer. In Star Wars, this means she's Force-sensitive, obviously. She's also a bird because birds are cool.

I generally play with her in connection with another OC belonging to a friend of mine who is one of Alex and Zeb's kids; Kira's around her age.

Her people have their own native Force traditions--they call Force-adepts Wise Ones--and not a lot of interaction with the Jedi Order before it fell. Kira is the first Wise One with this level of True Sight in a while. She basically got picked up by an Imperial Remnant officer (or, depending on the timeline, just an Imperial officer) who kept her hidden as his Secret Weapon. Generally in a pretty gilded cage, but still. She either manages to escape on her own or gets found by Alex who's investigating why this particular faction has So Much Intel They Shouldn't. He promptly kidnaps/rescues her and brings her home.

(I also did a fair amount of playing with/building up some details for her species. Primarily seed-eating, although they will eat insects for extra protein as well as vegetables; males tend to have brighter coloring than females; young are generally pretty drab grey-brown, with adult plumage coming in starting around sixteen; some teenagers like to paint their feathers to look older than they are.)

Ask me a question!
