Choices for my next long fic
Jan. 17th, 2024 10:52 amI can usually only concentrate on writing one long story at a time. I’m hoping I can keep writing some little ficlets while working on my next long project but who knows? Right now I’m undecided what’s next. Here are my choices:
Option 1: Sentinel, continue my AU that I started with Christmas is Murder.
This was a fun idea but as it was based on someone else’s story I’m a little uncomfortable continuing it. I’m also not quite sure where it will go (other than the obvious Jim and Blair will get together). I know the original feels unfinished - because it is! I had to get it done for a deadline so it ended sooner than I would normally have for that kind of story.
Option 2: Stargate, continue in the Revolution ‘verse.
Revolution took Jack out of his world and immersed him in the world of the Jaffa. I have an idea to do something similar with Daniel - not Jaffa, but I don’t want to give away what I’m thinking yet. I don’t think this one could be slash…though I guess the parts that are back on Earth would still have J/T together. I do like this idea but it’s not clear enough in my head yet.
Option 3: Sentinel, that Death in Paradise crossover.
I don’t know if I can plot backwards, which is so necessary for this one, but I do have the bare bones of an idea and part of me really wants to get into this one. It would be such a fun story and you wouldn’t need to know the DiP characters to get it.
Option 4: Stargate, Phoenix sequel.
This is the project I set aside when I started writing Revolution. So, advantage - I already have parts of this written. But Phoenix gets into my head. When I get back into this I won’t be able to focus on anything else. It might also be a lot of effort and end up unfinished. I don’t have a coherent overall plot for it yet.
I will probably tinker with 2 and 3 for a few weeks before making a decision…
