solarianaI really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten.
I'm updating a couple things. Previously, I titled these writing updates, but I'm changing these to writing stats to make them easier (for me) to find.
My WIP (not so anonymous) writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 5 WIPs.
I've done some writing on the Alien fic, which is intended to be my 2018 BB. It's going to be way shorter than I originally intended, mostly because of health issues with my mom and one of my kitties. I've had to spend a lot of time visiting Mom, talking to doctors and helping Dad with shopping and such. Plus I've been on OT all year. It's getting old, but with a sick kitty possibly running vet bills over $2000 this year, I really need the cash.
Completed:
Nothing new completed since the last update. I never jotted down my hooker bunny I mentioned last time, and now it's long forgotten. Oh well.
Started 2017:
Alien bunny (previously known as Post-Apocalypse bunny)
8750 WC - added 4750 words (last update 06/09/2018)
Oh, I've been kicking this one around for a few years, probably since 2014 or 2015, but never started writing it until 2017. This was intended to be my 2017 BB, but didn't make it. Maybe this year? 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?
ETA: I just read through my original notes there and this has really changed since then. No Jimmy. No Jackson. Since I went with Ellie, Jackson is already gone. Tony is in the field with Ellie, and Gibbs has taken Abby and Ducky to his cabin. Again, just time restraints are going to cut this story way shorter than my original plan. I don't suspect it will go over well. It jumps between Tony & Ellie, Gibbs, Ducky & Abby, and Tim on his own. Still needs some work, but I think it will definitely get over 10K. Might hit 15K, which is about half what I originally envisioned.
Started 2016:
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 my 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?)
Hooker bunny? It started hopping around. Not sure if I'm going to capture it or not.
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.
