As you can see, I am
chordatesrock. I've got a long list and I'm going to be taking a crack at it this year. I just want to talk at you about it for a minute. (To you. I want to talk to you. I'm not just yakking at you until I remember why I like these ideas, totally, why would you think otherwise?)
My list, as I said, is long. (I'm still debating a couple of potential additions, too!) I hope to complete my claim for
au100 and finish some kind of bingo for
cottoncandy_bingo and
genprompt_bingo. I elected to create a list of story ideas described by premise or main action plot, instead of claims to fill, and the list is long. By fandom, the list is at least half Jak and Daxter. The next biggest chunk might be Avatar: The Last Airbender. Most of my Jak and Daxter plotbunnies are AUs and several are actually WiPs already. I have a varied assortment of AU premises to work from, and I like them all even though some of them are patently ridiculous. (I am a magpie of fic premises. If it crosses my mind, and I can even begin to imagine an interesting direction to take it in, it goes on the list. That would be why the list has some things other-- lesser!-- writers might consider bad ideas.)
Another thing that I'd like to do is begin writing a sequel to The Road To Yu Dao, an ATLA fic I wrote last year. I have plans (big plans that will probably not pan out) to expand the verse into a quartet of stories, each of which could loosely be considered to focus on one of the four nations/elements, in order, starting with Earth. The immediate sequel would be set in Yu Dao, focusing on politics; the next work would be set in the Northern Air Temple; the fourth would focus on the Water Tribes. If all the fics are around the same length, I could go as far as 40k with this verse.
So what stands between me and those fics? A sequel or sequels to That We Might Live. Considering that it seems to be no one's cup of tea except mine, the world doesn't need or want a sequel, but I have ideas and I like them. I like the verse, I want to write more about it. It would be fun for me. It's easily as awesome as anything else on this list, and it could be used to fill some of those bingo prompts. Would any of you mind talking me out of this, pretty please? Remind me that no one likes the original and that should matter for some reason?
There's also a craft on my list, because it's languishing unfinished and I need to finish it. (It's a pair of socks.)
