OH NANO!

[mylittleredgirl]

Yep, I'm doing it this year. hihoplastic's fault!

I have never done this before! She informed me that there was a website and that I had to sign up, and that I could be friends with people!

I am mylittleredgirl! Be my friend!

I will be writing the Ares pilot and, I guess, subsequent episodes if I run out of pilot before I run out of words.

I'm totally crazy! But honestly, it will be unbelievably nice to bury my head in something other than my life for a month (well, another month, because sparktober was pretty darned efficient at that too!). It's like that old saying, when the going gets tough, the tough get enabled to do nanowrimo.

:)

Be my frieeeeend!

I'm really psyched! Kind of traumatized with fear! But excited!! :)

I still have so much to do for Sparktober! Must focusssss!!!! *runs around in little circles twirling with glee*

Tomorrow is my Sparktober day, hopefully I'll be able to do something. Is a special month, after all. ;)

Twirling does make it better!

I'm kind of psyched to get to ignore ALL other fic and just do this, which I like best (even though it is least favoured by anyone who reads my journal) *looks innocent*

I thought you were winning over the masses by sheer force of will?

You should totally do what you want!! I'm sure everyone on my journal would demand lantisfic over Ares if I gave them the choice... so... I didn't give them the choice. ;) I plan to win them over by force of will also. Also, it will make my ENTIRE LIFE if anyone writes fanfic for my fake show. REALLY.

I do win, little bits at a time "I don't ship this but your characterisation is good" is a victory. *nods*. (I think sometimes I still expect Sparky- fandom all the time dammit)

The fake TV shows are awesome. :) I'm really psyched for this. Will you be posting as you go? or waiting and posting at the end?

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

I don't know!! It depends on how much it totally sucks as I'm writing it!? Ahahaha. I wouldn't want to spend too much time polishing for posting midway (except I can't HELP THAT, so, ehm, we might get like 10K of nano out of me). I have no idea if people would be at all interested in reading as I go - I'd worry I'd be clogging up the flist! (I always over-worry about that, though.) What will you do??

Sparky fandom: "OH GOD I LOVE THIS PAIRING EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE OMG!" Like that?

[oparu.livejournal.com]

It won't suck!!! it'll be made of win. really!!

If I post as I go, I'm generally happier, oddly enough. I'm more motivated and since it's a big femmeslash/gen thing, if anyone reads it, I'll be more motivated. I'm a sucker. Also not a big worrier. I usually think I'm good.

Sparky fandom was fun like that. ;) ah well. I do like my pairing being so small that it's ALL mine. (kinda like original fic)

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Ha! I'm naturally lazy. I want my fandom to have a lot of people in it so I can read things without writing them. And if enough people write a plot, I don't have to!

I sometimes get derailed by people commenting on things midway. I mean, it happens even if I don't post it, but I get this fear of "oh god, the beginning of this was so good and now I am RUINING IT!"

You ARE good! :) Objectively, I'm good too? *breaks into cold sweat at typing that* But I have issues where I think everyone secretly hates me. ;) Or thinks I'm vain for presuming anyone would WANT to read my fic. Or whatever. ISSUES! (Medication helps! When I first started in fandom, my betas would have to beg me to post anything, and I was totally that annoying girl whose author note was always "I know this isn't very good, but...")

I'm kind of SUPER SUPER excited that someone might actually read my original story. OMG. And maybe ENJOY IT! Craaaazy. I know the format of at least the first half is going to be in sections (I'm going to write from the POV of each character at a time, to tell the "how we got to Mars" story while I get to know them), so I guess it would be logical and easy to post midway?

plot is hard... *pouts* I love plotless conversations and sex and babies...

aww...you won't ruin it. it'll be even more awesome in the end!!!

*hugs* I think everyone hates me too but...I know I can write. I know that. I cling to that. I have some silly faith that fic will be good because I love it already. I adore it. Ito make me happy and that seems to make it good.

I know part of me is convinced in a very comfortingly-vain sort of way that I am good, dammit.

As are you my dear. I do love reading some original stuff (it's so good!! more fun than the library because people I KNOW wrote it) ZOMG!!!
