Writing stats: General - Oct 2018
I 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 4 WIPs.
Oh my gosh! Alien fic is finally complete! Woo Hoo! Okay, I started this to be my BB in 2017 and quickly realized it needed more time and attention than I could give it. So I started working on it again for the 2018 BB. Then all the health issues with my parents happened and I was working a lot of OT. My goal was to get it to about 20K-25K. It wound up around 67650, which amazes me. With all the issues I had this year, I'm surprised it got done at all. I did cut it down from my original plans for 2017, which was far more detailed and likely would have wound up at least 100K...LOL. Rose was so helpful, not only providing alien artwork! But really had a lot of great suggestions for the story. I'm just glad this one is done! YAY!
I suppose I should take a good look at my old bunnies. I'd really like to finish the undercover bunny. I always think it's further along than it is. But I'd actually be happy for it to wind up around 10K. We'll see. I may dust it off and take another look.
Completed:
Visions - the alien fic. It is done and posted! 67,650 WC. This was posted as my 2018 Big Bang story.
Started 2017:
Alien bunny (previously known as Post-Apocalypse bunny)
67,650 WC - added 58,900 words (last update 10/06/2018)
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.
ETA 2: I cut Jimmy in an attempt to keep the story shorter. I put him on a 2-week vacation. However, the story covers about 10 months. Anyway, it felt odd leaving him out, so I brought him back into the story at the end. And the story jumps. So, we have 6-8 weeks or so, then the story jumps about 7 months, then another 2 weeks. I added an OC - Todd Carter - to be with Tim. I think he's a great addition to the story. I had a struggle trying to decide whether to put Tim with Todd or Abby, but I finally chose. At any rate, it's DONE! YAY!
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:
I'm letting the old bunnies go. I wrote Whisper In The Wind this spring. It wasn't Brokeback Mountain, but it was with horses and emotions...close enough to let go of the old bunny that was never started. I never jotted down any notes for the hooker fic. Whatever thoughts I had are long forgotten.
