Hmm...

Okay, so it's possible I've signed up for a couple too many ficathons in the next couple of months:

1. sga_genficathon, about which I can't talk since it's secret, but which is driving me *insane* trying to figure out how I want to structure the story. Not the plot, not the characters, not even how it's going to end, but the damn structure. April. Done

2. femme_fic: prompt tbc (and may I just say that it's pathetic how excited I get every time I check my email, hoping there'll be a prompt. Seriously. Pathetic), but femslash of some description. 1st May. Done

3. lgbtfest #1: "Generation Kill, Brad/Nate, leaving the corps didn't mean he no longer had to worry about the UCMJ. He might be a grad student at Harvard, but retiring definitely wasn't on Brad's immediate horizon," which I swear I chose solely because I have this girl's voice in my head telling Nate that Brd's never going to leave the marines for him. No context, no idea who she is, just this one line. 12th May Done

4. team_sga AU fest: Pegasus B&B, which is a prompt that makes me dorkily happy, but I want more au fic where everyone's always been in Pegasus instead of always been on Earth. Actually, I want *any* fic where this is true, since it seems to be non-existent. 14th May. Done

5. lgbtfest #2: "Any fandom, any character, Being gay in the U.S. military means you've always got a secret -- but it also means you've always got a community," which I mainly chose because, as much as I liked the fic that was around a few months ago wherein there's a little male gay community on Atlantis, coordinated by Rodney (though, seriously, Rodney? I know, being a McKay/Sheppard fic it had to be one of them and couldn't be Sheppard, but seriously).... Um, right, as much as I liked that story, I got to the end and was all, but what about the girls? Lesbians and bisexual women exist you know! Which is possibly a spurious reason for choosing a prompt. 15th May Done

6. thelittlebang, which will be Firefly and for which I have kind of an idea, but it's one of those where I need to start before I figure it out. Also, it has to be 15,000 words. 20th May. Done

Which is not to say I can't probably manage it all, but just... now would be the time to panic, right?!

I signed up for the Brad/Ray prompt, because - idek. It just really resonated with me. I've been trying to think about Brad and Ray having sex all day, though, and I'm almost there.

I am so very much in favour of that :o) I don't think I've read any Brad/Ray fic before.

I can't wait to find out who that girl talking to Nate is.

Yeah, me either - I have no idea, I just have that line. I don't even know if she means it in a nice way or not.

So if you panic now, maybe you can move on to the writing without problem?

It's weird - for all that I think I've got a couple too many things on now, I actually work best when I have less free time. I got so much more done when the only free time I have was Tuesday evening than I did when I had loads of free time. I dunno, the longer I have to do something, the more I put it off.

There isn't a lot of Brad/Ray out there, and most of it ends up being UST, with Brad ending up with Nate, but I came across this little ficlet (http://linaerys.livejournal.com/661918.html?thread=9454238#t9454238) the other day and loved it. I think it's like falling in love with your best friend: you know everything about them, and so you know all the reasons why it's a really bad idea, but on the other hand, nobody's ever going to know you better, and while it was a really bad idea when I did it, I'm sure the boys can make it work. Also, I really want to write about Ray's crazy family. I'm hugely excited about this story, can you tell? *g*

I dunno, the longer I have to do something, the more I put it off. Dude. That's so the story of my life. And of my MA thesis, which I managed to stretch out for two years, until the department was like, 'now or never, Shosh.' That's why I like challenges, because I work to deadlines really well.
