The best laid plans of mice and men...
So. Its approximately 8 days until Christmas (o.O I know), and I have yet to post any of the promised holiday Sess/Kag series I was so excited about (and even conducted research for). And...
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be writing it. :(
You know how life has a habit of getting in your fandom way? LOL, well, that's what happened to me. In the month since I conceived that series, I've acquired a full-time job (which, including travel time, amounts to 12-hour days, five days a week) and I've started extensive renovations on my living space on the weekends - both of which have unsettled my muses greatly, especially moving out of my room and becoming, in effect, a nomad in my own house. Not fun, for fleeting inspirations which require comfortable environs in which to flourish - or for someone who just craves privacy :-/
I literally haven't had adequate time to -sleep-, much less do anything creative.
There is good news, however! I did make a complete outline of the story (events in place and sequence), and I have a veritable notebook full of inspiration pieces, so this thing will eventually come to fruition. Whether that means after the holidays, in July, or even next Christmas ~ the elements are there, waiting to be molded and shaped into place.
Because I put off work on my current WIPs in order to devote time and headspace to this, that means I have officially reverted back. Besides working on my MiroSanta exchange piece (which means I *will* have something holiday themed to offer this year), I am hoping that I will have the next chapter of Fleeting out by the end of the year. If all goes well, hopefully another piece of Fragments will be ready as well.
I know what needs to happen in both stories, but its just a matter of the characters speaking to me again. (They...don't like it when I put them through the wringer, heh). I seem to have placated Sesshoumaru a bit with Dream Lover (although, in his Very Special Way, he is still grumbling about what's left for him in Fleeting), and where he goes, my Sango muse follows.
So - huzzah! I might just post fic worth reading again in the foreseeable future!

*fangirls* I love Fragments so much and... this makes me happy. XD

I want your wringer. You manage to extract all the good stuff from them (mine require coercion and don't even perform in the end, LOL!)
And I second what

I knew a few weeks in advance that I'd be starting a new job, and I anticipated that quite a bit of my time would be taken up by it (though - not quite this much o.O), so I made sure I had an outline to work from.
And then all hell broke loose, unfortunately. But I posted some smut, and a little drabble for
But - yeah. This idea isn't going anywhere; it's just going to take more time to develop to a point where I'm happy with it.

Hooray! LOL :P
Gotta put out another Fleeting installment first, though. I feel bad for neglecting it ~ its like my baby.

LOL - you think I don't have to bribe them, too? ZOMG Sesshoumaru can pitch a right big hissy fit when he wants to (though, admittedly, its not so much a 'fit' as 'I'm not even going to acknowledge you right now, GDI'), and he has done that a few times during our journey through Fleeting. But I'm patient, because I know eventually I'll get what I want from him. Goodness knows I've worked on him long enough...
