Writing Filter: Works in Progress and Story Seeds

The list is alphabetical by fandom with the crossovers at the end in no particular order. I'll probably add new items as they occur to me. I've also left off a bunch of pairings from ithurtsmybrain because I don't actually have even an inkling of a story to go with them. I just noted them because I thought that I *could* come up with something if I thought about it for a couple of days. (I mean, who wouldn't want to see Batman meet War (from Good Omens) or Maleficent trying to talk to Elmo or Treebeard negotiating with Hisoka (from Yami no Matsuei)?

I see the Weiss Kreuz is the fandom in which I'm most willing to write explicit sex. It's also a fandom in which I don't seem to have ideas for non-sexual stories. I'm not sure it means anything much, but I find it interesting to note.

I welcome discussions about how some of the vague ideas might develop into stories or comments about which stories people'd prefer to see me work on (I will note, though, that I seem to need somebody to talk to-- to babble as I write, preferably-- about a story in order to move it forward. "Rheotaxis" has been stalled in part because of that).

Book Logging

This is a partial list as I'm still trying to come up with things to say about a number of other books. As always, I welcome discussion.

Looking back at last Friday's to-do list, I think I've gotten half of it done. The parts not yet done are the more time consuming and fiddly bits, and, of the things I got done, some-- specifically laundry and the dishes-- need to be done again. Still, making a list did help, so I'm doing it again.

1) Figure out how to do a screencap and update the episode summary to include it.

2) Rewrite my Yuletide fic, format it for the website and post it.

3) Rewrite the fandom_stocking fics, format them and post them on my website. I've got the betas back on the longest of the three, so I can at least manage that one.

4) Write, format and post fic recs.

5) Integrate, weed and sort url lists (also, try to find a better way to keep such things).

6) Read some library books. I didn't manage any last week which is silly given that they're mostly manga.

7) Remind Scott to call his father tonight to check on his mother's (relatively minor) surgery.

8) Empty and load the dishwasher.

9) Run the laundry (one or two loads) and bring everything clean upstairs. Put it all away.

10) Make banana bread before those bananas are too far gone. Let Cordelia help.

I should be able to manage some of that this afternoon. Right?

::sighs:: In forbidding Cordelia to watch The Suite Life of Zach and Cody (a Disney Channel sitcom), I seem to have made it hugely attractive to her. I don't regret banning the show. I still find it insulting on multiple levels and don't want Cordelia seeing any of the characters as people of whom I approve. My intention in banning it wasn't so much to keep Cordelia from ever seeing it as to register, strongly, that there are things about it of which I disapprove. I want her to remember, any time she sees it, that there's something about it that I think is Not The Way Things Should Be. I've talked to her a little about what I don't like-- the way the female characters are portrayed and treated, the way the title characters behave and treat the people around them, the fact that all the supporting characters are insulting caricatures.
