Sooooooo, NaNo. It's coming now, and you know, I feel like it'd be silly of me to even try, considering that, well, I won't be there for the last week of November, and I'll be busy most weekends. Instead of 1,667 words a day, I should probably have to power through 3/4K a day, as quickly as possible. I have no idea if I can do that, I don't know how busy work will be.
So really, it's a bit silly to think I can do it. However, I really want to? I really really want to. Thing is, I have this plot in my head and it needs SO MUCH WORK and I need to think it through so hard and add a whole ton of details and things to it to hope reaching 50K with it, but I kinda love it a lot? And if I know where I'm going before I start it might be good, I might manage to start with a good rhythm.

I don't know, you guys. I just don't know. I'm really on the fence here, because I really want to use this opportunity to write Steve and Danny as bikers being undercover but not knowing the other is undercover so falling for a ~bad guy as well as trying to get enough evidence to break the whole US-wide MC and dealing with feelings for another man in a place like a MC and and and I just. I want it, you know, sigh, I do. But I don't know if it's smart/responsible/if it's not going to make me lose my mind. Last year was really quite, um, difficult, in several different ways, so I don't know. I really want to do it, I love the challenge and the work and writing a long, involved fic, but vfnjk, I don't know, I just don't.


In other news, this morning I realised how painstakingly clear it was that McFly has ruined the slash fandom by joining all sorts of social media outlets, because three of them are away in the woods recording demos and yet there is NO FIC with threesomes in them and angsty!Harry being left alone in London and phone sex and such. Seriously, it's a little sad.
Also, the guy that follows them around with a camera and gets all sorts of videos for the fans is an immense douche who keeps on spouting super offensive comments on Twitter. Once it was about religion and how it's bullshit, which was so offensive, and now it's about how fat people are fat because they don't exercise and eat too much. The guy is followed by 14K teen girls, and he says shit like that, I am bewildereeeeed. And I want to punch him in the face. Repeatedly.

I was thinking about doing NaNo and basically killing 2 birds with one stone, so to speak. completing NaNo and having a story for a secret santa thing

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

That'd make it a LONG secret santa fic XD.

[tailoredshirt.livejournal.com]

Count how many times you said "I just" in this post.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Are you saying I'm egocentric? GASP.

[tailoredshirt.livejournal.com]

Well, obviously, yes. I'm also pointing out that you say "I just." a lot.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Psh. And, I know. It's a bit of an issue. I try to stop it in fics, but I'm not really good at it.

[verasteine.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a very, very, very good fic idea. I'm just saying. I'd read that, so much.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

You're supposed to dissuade me! XD.

[verasteine.livejournal.com]

Okay, okay, okay! Don't do NaNo. Just write this fic :).

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

vnfejwlr, nah, I'll do NaNo ;D.

[verasteine.livejournal.com]

\o/

This is the best news I heard all day :).

[gothikmaus.livejournal.com]

Ooh, undercover bikers, I like the idea. :D

Oh, NaNo. I failed spectacularly last year. I mean, I knew I could never write 50k words, but I was hoping to get at least 25k. But I still have what I wrote last year and I like that idea, I just need to sit down and write. I don't even care how many words I use or how long it takes me to finish, just as long as I do finish it.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I failed last year. Well, I didn't properly fail - I wrote 2 stories of 25K instead of 1 of 50K. One of the stories I couldn't finish, couldn't go on with, I hated it, even, so. I let it go and started another one. Where word counts go, I guess I did it, but it was entirely unsatisfactory.
Hopefully this year, things will work out better! I doubt I'll finish it in the month, but I'll give it a go ^^.
And, yes, finishing your fic/story, that is a good idea!

[alba17.livejournal.com]

I love the story idea. LOVE IT. NaNo sounds stressful though.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Nano is stressful, but I really, really like the challenge. And really, you have to take it as an exercise in abandonment - write write write without looking at the words, edit after. I don't have much of an issue with that - I have more problems with the editing part afterwards, but for people who edit as they write, it proves even harder. But Nano is the kind of challenge I like to meet head on, and I can't wait for it to start now that I've decided I'm just going to go with it ^^.
I'll have one reader, woop! \o/

[alba17.livejournal.com]

Oh cool! Best of luck. I look forward to reading it if you post it eventually. I have more problems with the editing part afterwards. Me too. I try not to edit too much as I go along, otherwise I'd never write anything and definitely never finish anything. But the editing is really, really hard. Sometimes I end up throwing out a lot, but I guess that's part of the process.

Maybe someday I'll try NaNo if I have an idea I'm really burning to do. The longest thing I've written is 26k though. I can't even really imagine writing that long a story.

[kapuahi.livejournal.com]

I've done Nano for years and have even actually finished it three times, and since I'm going to be on a cruise with my parental (it's an elvis cruise with mad elvis groupies and 25 Elvis impersonators - don't even!) I wasn't going to enter this year.

But I have this incredibly persistant urge to write Sherrif!Steve and Pinkerton!Danny so I may just join in and do that.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

I've entered twice, and finished once and a half, sort of, considering what happened last year with my stories. And this year, my parents are visiting for my birthday, and then the BFFlatmates and I will be off to LA for a week and a bit, and yet, I really do plan on entering anyway...

[bonehed.livejournal.com]

i NEED biker steve/danny fic. i'm just saying... NEED IT!

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

XD

[sirona-gs.livejournal.com]

IF IT'S NOT SMART OR RESPONSIBLE, YOU KNOW THAT ONLY MEANS ONE THING, RIGHT? DO IT. \0/ \0/

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

You are the WORST influence :P. sorry for stealing out plot!

[sirona-gs.livejournal.com]

DAMN RIGHT. \0/ \0/ I AM EXCESSIVELY PROUD OF MYSELF. XD It is very much all right, love! <3

[camshaft22.livejournal.com]

I want to see this so bad. Undercover as BIKERS!!

You won me right there. Danny would so be awesome as some hardcore 1%er.

[delicatale.livejournal.com]

Yes! BIKERS! I watch way too much Sons of Anarchy lately, I think it might be affecting my thought process. Also, it's not like we don't know they both (Alex and Scott anyway) (actually Steve can, too) can ride bikes, we've seen pictures of them on bikes, and it's all hot and cvnjfklv, so, yes. YES. Also I've never written an actual, proper case fic with them undercover and it should give me some really good meaty things to write so it'd reach 50K. That'd be good!
