Round 10 is Over!!!

[lolmac]

Wow, what an amazing round!  I lost count of how many people we had and just how much everyone did -- not only writing, but editing, posting, and especially tackling those lurking unfinished fic projects that tend to bulk up and get scary when left in the corners.

So remind us.  This is your chance to brag!  What did you accomplish?  Remember, high word count isn't the only joy -- any and all progress is cause for celebration.

This is also your chance to give feedback, and my chance to shower thanks on dbskyler, glinda_penguin, and lullabymoon, who traded off modding with me, and without whom I could not have done this.  And a salute to studyofrunning, the founder of fic_rush .

I'll post a poll to choose dates for Round 11 within the next few days.

I may need to redo the fic gallery, since it's a post under studyofrunning's user ID, and I don't have editing access to the post.  Accordingly, please send me a PM with the following information on fics to add to the gallery, or any changes to make to fic entries already listed there:

-fic title
-link to the fic
-the name or username to credit the fic to, if it's not the one you're posting with
-fandom(s)
-main characters/pairings
-rating/warnings
-spoiler warnings, if applicable
-what round of fic_rush you wrote it for
-word count (if it's a WIP, please give current and expected final word count, if you can)

There's no limit on how many fics you can have listed, nor how long after a round you can have a fic from it listed.  Any fic in any fandom qualifies, as long as you worked on it during a round of fic_rush .

I just read through ALL the rounds I've participated in, making a list of the fics/stuff I've worked on. Turns out "Fine Print, The Connections Remix" (already in the fic gallery) is my only finished piece from any 'rush.

But! I think I also figured out why I was so blocked this time: almost all my WIPs are several months old, and my brain did a major attitude shift when I started college, so the tone of the older stuff just doesn't fit anything I can (or want to) write anymore. Which may very well be a good thing.

Solution: I plan to rewrite the old pieces by hand, looking at the originals as little as possible, in hopes that the good parts will survive and the other bits will be improved. I think I need a fic notebook. :-)

Ooh. Now that sounds ambitious but smart. A good way to bust through some WIPs and hopefully keep the good parts.

I always have my big, colourful tokidoki notebook and a pen in my handbag. It has notes, actual writing, doodles, and schematics and math for things I will probably never knit but want to think about in boring meetings. I don't make a rule of handwriting and transcribing, but I do think it can be a really useful approach. Plus you get to shop for a cool notebook.
