WIP update

Even though it's been a month, it feels like not much has progressed. This is probably because the bigbangs needed edits and because I of course couldn't sustain the crazy pace of writing I had in August.

My posting date for rpf_big_bang is 18 October.

My posting date for startrekbigbang is 24 October.

I've heard from both artists; I have the rough draft fanmix for the STBB (and seriously, cannot wait until you guys hear it!) and I'm working on my own fanmix for my RPFBB. The STBB Kirk/McCoy story is done and just needs the final polish I'll give just before I post. The RPFBB Ryan/Simon story is still being revised per ignaz's comments. So I feel like I'm in pretty good shape!

The next big thing is Yuletide, which takes up most of my writing energy in late November/December, as I have to re-immerse myself in a canon and come up with a story idea in a month's time. And I've never had my prompter do a "Dear Yuletide Writer" letter, so I've never had much to go on. BUT, it's pretty close to my favorite thing in fandom, period, and even though it means that I don't do other holiday fic exchanges and challenges, I adore it and encourage all of you to do it as well! (I'm so nominating both Community and Undercovers, and then requesting them!)

Here are my internal due dates for the other things I'm writing:

( Idolfic, Potterfic )

( challenges )

A lot of overlap, but still a good pile of writing to do before May/June. Clearly to do next is go to the library for my research material for the Laurel Canyon AU, as well as comb through ignaz's season 3 recaps!

you know, that sneaker slogan

The folks who worry about the whole "slash is the sound of white men fucking" are talking about a fandom-wide trend, not the personal preferences of one person. I've certainly written plenty of white boy slash. I've spent the past few years writing Ryan Seacrest/Simon Cowell rpf, and in the last year have become active in the Kirk/McCoy part of Trek fandom. And I read it--those three ships and lately Puck/Kurt of Glee. So this isn't a "if you write slash about white boys you're a bad person and should feel bad" post.

( But if you want to write about characters that aren't white men, maybe you should just do it? )
