Current State of Bandit Fic
The last time I did one of these was on April 12, so it’s been about a month and a half. I figured I wanted to do one again, especially since there’s been a lot more stuff started and to give general updates on what I’ve been writing, etc.
This’ll be under a cut, so apologies to you mobile users because I don’t think it does the cuts. :/
Completed JTV Fics:
Carla
THE LAST CHAPTER HAS BEEN POSTED. IT’S DONE.
Luisa and the Fox
I have one more chapter left to post, and I plan for that to be next month.
I do still plan on potential extended scenes in a different fic.
In-Progress Posted JTV Fics:
If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now
Still planning on posting at least a chapter a month until it’s done.
I’ve liked having these on alternate second Mondays with Luisa and the Fox with a chapter of Carla every other week, but given that the latter is done and the former is almost done....
Probably still plan on posting these on Mondays.
There are at least fifteen twenty known chapters (as in I have a fairly good idea of what happens in those chapters) and past those potentially two more at least - and some of those might expand because I know me and this should all happen in this chapter! and then it ends up being longer than I thought.
Right now it feels like this fic is shaping up to be more like multi-chapter chunks/arcs.
So the first arc was Luisa’s first few days at Belle Reve, and that was eight chapters.
The current arc I estimate to have at least seven chapters (six of those I have a fairly good idea of what’s going to happen but there’s an in-between of what’s currently going on and the latter half of the arc - like there’s a time period that I don’t have covered that I think may have a chapter but am not sure).
The next arc has at least five chapters (that I have general ideas on what happens with them) but will probably be longer than that.
The next arc has at least four but probably five chapters (that I have a fairly good idea of what happens - two of those chapters may be combined into one, but not sure at this point).
The next chapter has at least two, maybe three chapters before a one-two chapter break, and then there will probably be more chapters but not sure exactly on how this one will go as well.
Okay so apparently that’s more like twenty more chapters. Oops.
The general ideas are the same as they were the last time I gave the estimate. It’s just that at least one other complication has been added, among other things. This is more likely to be longer than shorter.
Jane: The Real Story
Still not planning to schedule updates but may go into the Monday update slots.
Still don’t know how long this is going to be.
I do have the season one arc fairly plotted (or, well, partially plotted because there was a lot that happened in season one and while I know some of what I want to do with this, there are probably other things I should address and haven’t decided yet).
I have season two better plotted. Or. It’s less like seasons and more like arcs.
The first arc is Jane + pregnancy. This is your season one equivalent, but it’s fairly different from season one.
The second arc is consequences of lying about the artificial insemination. This is your season two equivalent, even though it address some events from season one.
The third arc is dealing with the aftermath of those consequences and...takes place in two different locations. This is your season three/four equivalent.
I’m not sure if I’ll have an equivalent arc for season five because by that point it mostly won’t exist but I suppose there’s at least one aspect I’d like to address from season five so. There’s that.
Basically it’s better brainstormed.
Still planning on having this be flexible in terms of updates. For now, at least.
The Adventures of Rose, the Baker’s Daughter
I still like writing fairy tales and still don’t want to be judged but for now, this one is not in the cards to be regularly updated. Kind of like the Pokemon fics.
Not abandoned but not super high priority.
Aftershocks
Potentially goes into one of the Monday update slots but not sure at this point.
Have a general idea of things I want to happen in this fic but not enough to give a general chapter count. This is a really new fic, so it’s still being brainstormed ish.
I do look forward to the Luisa/Lint scenes, though, and I do plan on this being very focused on just Luisa, Rose, and Lint. I don’t really want it to be bigger than them at the moment, although it may expand after this initial first arc. I’m not sure yet.
May have a companion piece in regards to the Rosalint fic.
Kind of like how Carla and If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now are companion pieces. You can read them separately and they work, but if you’ve read both, you get more out of them...ish. They reference and call back to each other.
Heart in Motion
Not planning on having a firm updating schedule with this because it’s comedy and comedy is hard for me (dramedy is a little bit better but not by much).
This one is harder to write because idk if I can accurately capture the feel of all the ODAAT characters (Lydia, in particular, may be hard).
I have a general idea of where I want to go in terms of plot on this one.
I do want to have some ODAAT-centric chapters that set up for later stuff; I don’t want to just focus on Luisa and Rose drama (although I definitely do plan on drama as a result of...primarily Rose, let’s be honest). But I don’t want to make the ODAAT characters side characters because I want it to be just as much their story as Rose and Luisa’s.
Expect irregular updates for now because that’s probably what might happen.
Sleeping Habits
I keep forgetting that there’s supposed to be a second chapter to this.
My bad.
In-Progress Unposted JTV Fics:
Everything’s Coming Up Roses
No change from the last update as I’ve been focusing on other projects.
Shenanigans: Luisa and the Fox
Name change. More like a rearranging.
The only change here is more brainstorming, tbh, insofar as connecting it to another piece.
I like companion pieces, and while one might assume that the fairy tales are companions to each other, right now it’s looking like they’re more companions to another, much bigger, project.
May take up a Monday update slot once Luisa and the Fox is finished.
Where The Lightning Splits The Sea
aka Roisa HP AU.
This is probably going to be really, really long.
The first book has an outline. It should be...fifteen chapters long.
The second book has the beginnings of its outline - right now it’s at least seven chapters long, but that only gets us to the end of October.
The following books I have notes on stuff that I want to make sure to include.
I’ve started writing the first book.
Right now I’m in chapter three, and the book is already over 13k. That should give you some idea of length here.
I have a really good idea of what I want to do with this entire series.
It’s just probably going to be really long.
Right now, the plan is to finish an entire book and then post the chapters as updates (probably on Thursdays as opposed to the normal Monday updates).
I hope to have betas for these, and I’d like the betas to have the general overarching outline of what’s going on...but maybe not.
Maybe should have different betas for this. I’m unsure.
Also I should probably finish my HP series reread. Oh well.
A Christmas at Longbourne
aka Hallmark Holiday Special
Projected to be five chapters long.
Hopefully to be posted on Mondays in July.
Because Christmas in July, y’all!
So. Should probably focus on this and finish the rough draft but I keep getting distracted.
Currently with the second chapter.
University AU
Unsure on length.
Have a fairly good idea of overarching plot.
I think last time I checked I was in chapter...two?
But there was a prologue, so for y’all that’d be the third chapter. Ish.
Probably won’t be a Monday update slot. But could be?
Rosalint Fic
Yes, this is more considered a JTV fic than a Tick fic because it’s set in the JTV universe more than The Tick universe.
Right now I mostly just have bits and pieces. Scenes. Some fluff, some...not.
This is likely the companion piece for Aftershocks, probably, so. You won’t need to read both to enjoy either of them but you’ll enjoy them more if you read both. Basically.
Brainstorming JTV Fics:
Canon-Compliant Soulmate AU
OKAY BUT I WENT THROUGH SOULMATE AU PROMPTS AND IDEAS AND I HAVE A GENERAL GOOD IDEA OF WHAT I’M DOING WITH THIS AND I’M ACTUALLY EXCITED,
It’s still in brainstorming stage because. do you see the above? I’ve been doing a lot of writing on a lot of other things.
Brainstorming Non-JTV Fics:
Potential Lint/Overkill Prequel Fic
Just what it says on the tin.
Probably more a collection of one-shots that would follow like lightning.
Potential Timeless Soulmate AU Fic
Focuses on Emma.
Uses the same general soulmate timer world as seen in the Roisa one-shot that people liked.
Have a good overarching idea of this but want a few more specifics before jumping into it more.
Probably won’t use the time machine BUT plan on having other Rittenhouse funded research that they want to use to control people.
Potential Timeless/Noir Fusion Fic
In which Emma has amnesia and gets dropped on Lucy’s doorstep before Lucy knows about Rittenhouse.
I have ideas about this one and I like those ideas but still hammering out the specific details of the fusion.
Like I can’t just make Lucy an assassin.
Like Emma makes better sense if I fuse her as a combination of Chloe and Altena but she’s technically in Kirika’s role.
Like how do I throw the rest of the gang in here (and do I, considering one of the great things about Noir was that none of the main characters were men and the men who showed up were usually in minor or plot device roles)?
I really want to write this because Noir is so near and dear to my heart but.... Idk if anyone else will enjoy this, tbh.
