solarianaI really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten.
My WIP (not so anonymous) writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 6 WIPs.
I've been bad again. I have been working on SOLD! but not tracking it. *sigh*
I not only started my Big Bang, but finished it! Taking A Chance came in at 13,400 words and was posted Oct 9. I did not get my original BB story done. *sigh*. At least I did get one story finished and posted for the challenge.
And OMG, I have FINISHED SOLD! The completed story is 70 chapters, and 263,060 words. I will probably one day go through each chapter again, but it's a lot of work. I'm just happy it's done! 7 years and 10 months in the works.
I'm signed up for this year's SeSa. Every year I say I'm not going to write a Reverse Bang story, then every year I sign up at the last minute. Let's see. Year 1 of the RB, I didn't sign up, but claimed the last lone unclaimed artwork, which would have been my first choice anyway. It seemed like destiny. Year 2 of the RB, claims were flying in. I wound up with maybe my 4th or 5th choice. And then the artist did entirely new artwork for the story. So the original piece was the inspiration. Last year, I fell in love with the artwork I got. I asked Rose to proxy for me because of how fast the pieces were claimed the previous year. She just barely got my first choice for me, which was her piece. I think it was intended as a shape-shifter story, but I don't write those. This year, who knows?
Completed:
I have completed and posted Chapters 66-70 of SOLD! It is now completed, so YAY!
I also completed and posted one Big Bang story this year, Taking A Chance.
Epic:
*SOLD! - Completed!
260,060 WC - Completed! Chapters 66-70 have been posted and it is DONE. FINALLY!
Started 2017:
*Taking A Chance - Completed!
13,400 - I got a thought in July and ran with it. I think I finished it up in Sept. I didn't think I'd get a Big Bang story done this year, but this one happened.
Post-Apocalypse bunny
3100 WC - (no change - last update 01/07/2017)
Oh, I've been kicking this one around for a few years, probably since 2014 or 2015, but never started writing it until 2017. I'm considering using this as my Big Bang, but I doubt I will get it done in time. So far I'm thinking Earth is taken over by aliens who enslave humans. Tim gets nabbed and one of the aliens takes him as a sex slave/pet. Ducky, Jimmy, Tony and Gibbs get away to Gibbs' cabin, but are trying to save Jackson, Tim, and Ziva/Bishop (ETA - using Bishop). Ha! I could probably kill off Ziva in this and not take too much heat for it. Maybe I'll use it for Big Bang 2018?
Started 2016:
*Fragile (Prequel to Broken)
6525 WC (last update 11/09/2017) - PROGRESS!
I didn't expand much on the universe Broken was written in as Tony was kidnapped, which didn't leave much time to explore the D/s relationship between Tony and Gibbs. This was going to be a short Tony as a teenager and how he got to that s level. I wrote about 1800 WC Sept 11. Sort of a sad, painful little story. I wasn't sure I'd get more done to this, but added about another 2000 words. I found the first two chapters seem complete, so I'm working on ch 3. I'm hoping to keep this one short. So maybe 3-5 chapters.
Musician Bunny
850 WC (no change - last update unknown, maybe August 2016)
I've been musing about writing musician fic for a bit. I had some great stuff come to me when I was drifting off, but only remembered one line when I got up and tried to get it down. Once I finished by BB # 2 in 2016, I tried adding a bit to this. I was thinking maybe it could be a Micro Bang story. I'm just not sure where to go with it though. Do I make it an undercover fic? Or does Tony get offered a job as a musician full time? Do I just make a short little bit of fluff at the bar? Hmmm.
Started 2014:
Plane bunny
WC 843 (no change - last update 02/22/2015)
This one has been bouncing around my head for a couple of years. Never started it, just had some general idea for it. Based kind of sort of Cast Away. When the season premiere (Sept 2014) started with Gibbs and Tim in a helicopter crash, I thought to abandon this, but it's different. They crashed in a forest, shot down and chased by bad guys. In my story, they crash in the ocean and wind up on an island.
Undercover bunny
WC 3770 (no change - last update 12/27/2014)
Naemi is so good to me that I wanted to write something for her. I started writing it during the BB writing period. I may have added a couple hundred words here and there since. It is currently at 3770. Tim/Tony undercover. Tim gets kidnapped and tortured. I haven't added to this one in a long while and I would love to get it finished so I can present it to Naemi before she loses all interest in reading NCIS. I've been thinking more about this one. I'd really like to finish it one day.
Photography bunny
WC 1180 (no change - last update 12/21/2014)
This bunny was inspired by artwork posted with Gibbs taking pictures. I started it during the summer (BB writing period...I was struggling with The Contract and started a few other projects during this time, also got several chapters of SOLD! done.) So it's undercover, Gibbs as a photographer. Maybe abandoned forever.
Not Started:
(because sometimes I have thoughts and lose them if I don't write them down! Will I ever write these? Who knows?)
Brokeback Mountain bunny not started
I recently (2014?) watched most of Brokeback Mountain. I've been yearning to write a cowboy AU for quite a while. Maybe for BB one year? I haven't put anything down or made any firm thoughts of plot or direction.
