What's Cookin'
My li'l list of stories in progress. The title of any
story can and will change if I think of a better idea...
Simmering hot
- "The Wrong Friends"
-- a 3rd/4th season poem, less sexy than "All the
Moves" but at least as dark. In final revision stage
-- at that point where I can't tell if it sucks or is the
best thing I've ever written.
- "All Talk" -- a
happy-happy joy-joy PWP in the "What Simon Saw"
universe. Half-written.
- The White Hotel Suite --
Orwellian erotica trilogy. (D.M. Thomas reference
intended.) I wanted this to be a PWP, but it may be
growing a plot. First story written; the next two in
outline.
- "The Kiss" --
DEoBS-related. Jim considers making his relationship with
Sandburg monogamous. A crappy rough draft in early
revision. (Rough drafts are supposed to be crappy.
<g>)
- "This Is My Brother Whom I
Give Unto Thee" -- a post-BMB first-time
story. With Margaret in it (eek!) -- crappy rough draft
in progress.
- "And He Leads Them"
-- volumes two and three are each about one-third to
half-written. The auction winner asked for Jim-angst.
I've succeeded in breaking him, now I gotta put him back
together...
On the back burners
- "International Guide
Registry" -- a teeny bit written, mostly
still in outline form. Sprawling AU that's sorta 45
degrees from being the opposite of "If I Run Far
Enough".
- "Stage Fright"
-- sequel to the Scripted stories. Teeny bit written,
mostly an outline.
- "Nobody Now" --
a post-4th Season sequel to "And He Leads
Them". An outline.
- "Freak" -- a
Jim-angst poem. (In case you're wondering, yes, almost
all of my poetry *is* dark and/or angsty.) In early
revision.
Fermenting
- "Opening Act"
-- a prologue to the Scripted stories. Just an outline.
- Untitled -- an AU based
on extrapolations from Theodore Sturgeon's "Never
Underestimate". If you're never read it, all you
need to know is that, by the end of the story, all the
men the world over are experiencing cycles of rut...and
women have won the "war of the sexes". (Just be
happy I don't try to write an AU based on anything by
James Tiptree!)
- "We All Make Sacrifices"
-- a Buffy:TVS x-over involving virgin sacrifice.
<weg>
- "Pervert" -- a
PWP in the "What Simon Saw" universe, in which
Blair suspects he's a pervert, and Jim has to comfort
him. (Poor dears!)
- "Darn You, Pavlov"
-- arg, I can't summarize this one, even though I've a
good chunk of it written.
In the pantry
- Revisions to "The Wedding
Script".
- Revisions to "Not in the
Script" -- I think I'll be retitling it
"Ad Lib".
