Another of my thrilling updates.
I started my SciFi Big Bang fic but didn't like the 1500 or so words I had so I dumped them and began again. I was planning on having 8000 words by now but I have more like 1000. :/ I'm writing about Meaglin and while it was a story I was once excited about, I find that I simply am not excited about writing Tolkien anymore. I have written hundreds of stories in the fandom and I simply have run out of things to say. There are a couple of long stories I've not told but most of them have been covered well enough by someone else.
I'd like to do original fiction but most of what I'm seeing published on small presses is erotica and I am simply not into writing that anymore at all. I actually tend to skip it in stories and books. I think that what I want to write is more along the lines of adventure and/or suspense with maybe a dab of paranormal in it now and again. Horror is a good genre but what passes for horror right now is junk, pain and simple.
Anyhoo, I got my Universe today update done and posted. The Babylon 5 fandom is not the busiest in the world but it does muddle along, picking up some new folk every now and again. I write a little in it now and again though I used to write a lot. I have one or two old fics I'd love to rework and fix up a bit. I have a really good Apocalypse Box story I need to work on rewriting.
Ever since I've been playing Indiana Jones Adventure World app at Facebook, I have been dabbling in reading Indy fics and have found some very good short ones. I've not hit too many of the long ones as they look to be Mary Sues. When I become a bit more steeped in the canon, I might try my hand at it. I've loved Indy since I first set eyes on him on the big screen in 1981 in Raiders of the Lost Arc. I thought he was the most romantic character ever and I still do.
Hubby and I have been Trekking for about 2-3 years now. We began with TOS, which we both watched on its first run in the 60s. My dad and I used to love that show! I thought Chekv was so cute. Rewatching it, I think Spock and Kirk are so slashy! No wonder slash was invent for them! We've done all of Next Generation, a show I loved but found to be not very action oriented most of the time. It did give us that dasterdly arch enemy of Sheldon Cooper, Will Wheaton as Wesley Crusher! LOL! We have reached the Dominion War in Season 6 of Deep Space NIne and are beginning Season 4, when Jeri Ryan joins the show. I HATE Jeri Ryan. This owman is on every tv show made since she began acting with her bug eyes! ICK! Ick factor aside, I do like this show, which is something I never thought would happen and we are also watching the last series, ill-fated Enterprise. I actually kinda like it. I like Scott Bakula.
But I can't seem to write any Star Trek Fanfic. Just doesn't happen and though I love the new movie, it's not really Star Trek to me. The boys are so pretty but it's just not the same.
Maybe I need to find a co-writer. Anyone interested? If so, let me know. I've had 2 co-writers before. One was a neurotic nutjob and the other was wonderful(Larian). I tried to get Larry to be my tech person and help me plot out an orignal fic but I don't think that's going to work out.
Anyhow, I need to play some INdy and do a bit of housework!
Laters.
