I now have a complete draft of my story for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
john_w_bigbang: around 24,000 words. But this is not my best work. It's a Supernatural/Haven crossover, and I think I fell into the trap I always used to with crossovers - a good idea for the world-building and figuring out how the two canons fit together, but short on plot. That said, it does have a plot...just not one I'm completely satisfied with. It would have been better if I'd been able to finish it when I intended - before Haven season two aired. Instead, while taking S2 canon into account gave me one pretty cool plot point, it also screwed up some of my original plan.
My usual beta isn't available - is there anyone familiar with both shows willing to take a look? There's plenty of time, as stories aren't due until near the end of March. Maybe a second pair of eyes will help me spot how to rescue the plot.
In other news - guyssentinelbigbang is open for signups again - this time for a "reverse bang". Posting is in May. Do check it out if you haven't already. My co-mod ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pattrose is running this one on LJ, but I am still around in the background.
I have written about 1,000 words of my original novel. I hadn't intended to begin the actual writing yet, but this is just the prologue scene and it's a scene isolated from the rest of the story: the execution of a woman who is one of the main characters' great-grandmother. It's safe to write this one scene before I'm done planning the rest; I can always rewrite or even chuck it later. I did a lot of the planning - character notes and a very broad outline - over the Christmas holiday, but then I set it aside to finish myjohn_w_bigbang fic. Now I guess it's ready to be picked up again.
Hopefully I can get a scene-by-scene outline down then go back to the next of my fanfic WIPs. I am not going to abandon fanfic stories I have said I'll finish. There are still two major stories in my WIP file, but I am absolutely not signing up for any more challenges until I'm done with this novel ("Done" meaning a complete draft written or admitting to myself it's not happening. Either works.) Um...exceptyuletide if I'm still not done by then. Everything stops for yuletide :)
