SO...
I didn't do any writing...
That's not true. I'll get back to that in a bit.
I've been sitting on the finished Podfic for nearly a week, since last Sunday I think. I don't really want to post it because there are at least half a dozen errors that cause me to twitch throughout. Unlike when I finished Ulterior Motives and I listened to it, all the annoying cock ups were in the first 6 parts so I just went back and totally re-edited them. Problem solved. On this fic they are pretty evenly spaced, also the mistakes are in the recordings and though they could be fixed with edits, to get it to the way I want it I'd have to re-record. I definitely do not want to do that. Again, I suspect that a lot of this is me being overly critical of crap most people won't even notice so I should really just suck it up. Really for the last week I've just been trying to get over myself and post the damn thing. I've been going back through some of my favorite podfic from other people and listening critically and then I have heard mistakes that I've never heard before, thus proving to me that most of these things slip under my notice and do not negatively effect my enjoyment. So I'll probably it later today or tomorrow.
As I did end up working on the podfic I did not attempt NaNoWriMo this year. I wasn't even going to work on any of the 6? 7? WIPs I'm working on. Then, just when I thought nothing was going to happen this month in terms of writing, I was bitten by a "plot"bunny and started a whole new story. I say "plot" because it was a PWP lemon so it was really more of a Porn!bunny rather than a plotbunny. AND get this, it's in a fandom I don't even write in, would never have thought I would write in. OH! And AND not only was I attacked by a Porn!bunny I actually got attacked by two of them. And AND AND because these stories were actually so fleshed out I decided to try to write the outline of one of them down before I forgot it or it decided to commingle and I end up confusing them. Then, during the process of writing the outline I started to get more and more detailed that I basically wrote the damn thing. I mean, I need to go back to the beginning and flesh out some dialog and a little bit more detail but for the most part it is actually MORE finished than.... say Death and the Thief of Hearts (which the entire second half of is basically an outline of how the story is supposed to end and needs to be rewritten, even though I have already posted that as a finished work)
But...
Well...
It's a Merlin Fic...
And the Pairing is Uther/Merlin *headsmack*
So, I know I have stated here before that I have a not so secret Uther/Merlin dub-con!kink that I may or may not be ashamed of. Also that I have read all the Uther/Merlin dub-con that I could find... then I read the Non-con then I read the rest of the Uther/Merlin I could find (with the exception of one or two that I didn't actually finish because I just wasn't feeling the story) ANYWAY, I got into one of those moods again and I went looking for Uther/Merlin fic and though some of them were quite good I just could not find what I wanted... and as the folks say "If you can't find the story you're looking for, write it." And then, without me even thinking about it, a story unfurled like a lotus in my mind. SO I wrote it.
Actually, what happened was a multi-part Uther/Merlin, Uther/Merlin/Arthur, Merlin/Arthur (or maybe it was Arthur/Merlin) thing. So then I started to write the Uther/Merlin outline that I was talking about above and the story kept moving and I was realizing that it didn't quite work into the story I was writing and I realized it was the plot to a completely different Uther/Merlin story... with TIME TRAVEL!
As it stands, I fully intend to finish the part I have written so far, which could be set apart as a oneshot, but is actually the first part to a multi-part PlotWhatPlot Uther/Merlin story which may never be finished because, even though I would read it, the idea of writing Uther/Merlin/Arthur is terrifying me (Even though at no part does it ever turn Uther/Arthur which is what specifically scares me)
And then add Pokemon X, Candy Crush and the fact I hooked up my PS2 and started playing Kingdom Hearts again, that's what happened in November.
Coming up in December:
Hopefully another Podfic.
Hopefully That Merlin fic, at least the oneshot.
Hopefully a chapter of SOMETHING else (Don't Lie or Dangerous Bonds most likely)
I didn't do any writing...
