Boxing

Well, it’s Boxing Day, so I’m going to pull out the categories and try to cage up these plot bunnies.

Here’s what’s (hopefully) in store:

Narnia:

Prequel to The Walls Between:

The story of how Narnia was lost to the Witch. Told in true high epic style - I hope.

Death Knell or something similarly dreary
This is the song of a nation - the story of Calormen, a poem of two brothers, of love and hate, of pride and passion, of a family destroyed and the treachery of a woman - and the rebirth of a demon.

Cor/Corin fic:

No outline yet - just crazy twin brother stuff, probably. With Aravis, most likely.

Yeah, that crazy one I’m doing with ED…

A POTC/Narnia crossover:

We all know the Telmarines were pirates who settled down on islands and fell through to Narnia - what if  these pirates were the same ones we all know and love/hate?

and

Undisclosed Giftfics

Depending on what I want to do after I finish Walls Between, I’ll either start on the prequel, the Calormene one, or take a brief break for a few one-shots and other fandoms.

Stargate: SG-1

I’ll finish posting Such a Time as This and The Uncanny, then get back to work on …

The Western

SG-1 goes to Texas! They meet up with Ba’al, the Ori, rattlesnakes and rodeos. Yee-haw!

and also

Wait for the Beep

Sam is never at home - she’s busy working with Orlin to save the earth from the Ori plague. But matters get worse when she finds her neices have tested positive! Also, meet Recarter - I like her/him/it so much I may have to copy right her/him/it/ whatever.

Then, depending on how much Season 10 I’m actually able to watch, I may or may not have more to write.

Star Wars:

Yes, I’m going to be writing for Star Wars! I’m so excited! Because I made the grand mistake of reading the Thrawn Trilogy (and I absolutely love the character of Winter) I’m going to be writing this:

As-of-yet Unnamed Spy/Action Thriller:

So, we all know that Mara Jade tried to assassinate Luke Skywalker during the episode at Jabba’s palace - and she failed. Why did this happen? Here’s the real story - involving massive spy vs. spy and of course, good vs. evil. Starring: the usual gang, plus Winter, Mara, and possibly Rogue Squadron and OC’s.

I can’t wait - it was mentioned in the Trilogy that Winter did intelligence work, but it never went into details - and guess how much fanfiction there is about Winter? Maybe four or five, and all romance. Bleah. Waste of a great character.

Lord of the Rings:

Nothing much here - I may finish up a short one-shot I haven’t looked at for months, and unless the Teitho prompts spark any inspiration, I probably won’t do a lot of writing here.

Maximum Ride:

Finito! No more! Booo, James Patterson! You killed what started out as a perfectly good series - I hope you’re happy.

I will finish posting The Tempest, of course.

Original Fic:

Nothing planned at the moment. If and when I’m in the mood (and more likely so if money is offered as a prize of some sort) I’ll write.

Writer’s … Unblock?

Well, I finally have time to buckle down and do some serious writing! Posting… well, I can’t promise that.

 I’m pretty excited about the Prince Caspian trailer, too, and the upcoming movie. Besides my usual gripes that Caspian is too old, has an accent, Susan and Peter are still too old, and the dryads don’t look right at all - I love it! I think it’ll be a great movie, and I must applaud the way the River God looked in the trailer. And even I get carried away now and then, so I made a bit of a graphic for one of my favorite scenes in Prince Caspian - except, of course, in the book it’s at night.

Random Picture

Anyway, as far as writing is concerned, I’m still working on Walls Between, as well as two or three giftfics. I may do something for the December Teitho contest if inspiration strikes. But right now I’m quite absorbed in Narnia, though if I get bored I may finish my SG-1 Western.

 But other than that my fanfic life will be on hold while I enjoy Christmas, my family and friends, and RL as it should be.

 Merry Christmas!
