Share with us whatever it is you are working on now! Original fiction? Fanfiction? Poetry? Articles? Script? Tell me about it!

I have a ton of short stories that I'd love to finish, iron out and send somewhere to try to get published, as well as (in the much more distant future) a few novels. I consider myself pretty rooted in the fantasy genre (with some sci-fi as well), which is what my novels would be easily classified as... but weirdly, my short stories are pretty much non-genre or simply human drama. I have one developing fantasy novel in particular that's really shaping itself, but the more I work on it, the further away from finishing it I seem.

I also write articles for a local newspaper, but that's basically limited to community events or opinion pieces.

How about you guys?

I'm writing some Discworld fanfiction for the Small Fandom Big Bang right now. I'm hoping it'll turn out decently long, I haven't written anything more than 15k words in over a year and I want to get my hand back into longfic.

The Cotton Candy Bingo is opening sign-ups tomorrow and I'm super excited! Fluff and romance are definitely my forte.

I write some original stuff, but they're usually very short stories, never long-term projects like some of my fics are. I'm not very interested in writing original - at least, not so far. I have some good ideas I could possibly expand on, but I'm far more into fanfiction and I don't think I'll be going beyond that any time soon.

I mostly write original fiction.

Just last night I finally started a project I've been plotting for months. It's a fantasy set at a religious temple where a girl has just arrived to become a novice priestess. There's a romance with another novice too.

I'm also going back and working on some WIPs that I've put aside for a while. Let's see, there's the one about a girl who has been treated for delusions in the past who starts dealing with a supernatural problem and has to figure out what is real and what is just another delusion.

There's one about a woman who becomes pregnant by an incubus but says the child is her friend's and faces the scorn leveled at her for having a child out of wedlock so that it won't be killed like the other children who were conceived by the incubus that has been terrorizing their town.

One is a about a goddess who had argued to create humans despite the reservations of her husband. They had a deal that if the humans ever went too far they would get rid of them. He has decided that it is time to talk about implementing that deal. So she transfers her powers to another god and becomes another human in the world they created, thinking that her husband won't destroy it with her there. She starts to question this when a bunch of unusual disasters start happening while she is there.

There are others but I'll shut up now.

I'm working on two long fanfics and some random little ones whenever the mood strikes me, plus two original novels. Both were Nanowrimo novels, so there's a lot of editing to do.

The first I wrote the first draft of about two years ago. I'm building the world from the ground up, since everyone in it is anthropomorphic. My MC is a doctor who can heal with magic, which is rare enough he's kept it a secret, who's been kidnapped to try and heal a half-crazed super soldier a mafia-like organization created. It's following their fight to be free and get away from the leader who's obsessed with the doctor.

The other I'm still writing, where a pair of sister-goddesses and their fight against a god who is trying to take over the world (dun dun duuuun). They have five mortals helping them, and they have to fight the five mortals the god has chosen to mirror them, while everything heads for war and my MC(female) and the Night Goddess try to ignore how they're falling in love. (So, pretty much I'm trying my hand at an epic fantasy with a seven main character cast, could go up to nine main characters, only two of which are male.)

At this point I'm very much a novelist. I wish I could write some short fiction, but every idea I have seems to come to me with the heft of a novel.

I'm currently working on editing/rewriting a first draft into a second draft of a novel about a girl (22) who inherits a house that turns out to be full of ghosts, literally and figuratively. So anything I post for the next while will be about that process. It's the second time I've finished a novel-length first draft but only my first time editing into a second. Learning like crazy.

Currently I'm on a short-story-writing jag; I have first drafts of three and am 1300 into a fourth. One of the three is for Deepwood Publishing's Death God's Chosen antho. Normally necromancy is not my thing, but I had a Twitter convo with someone there, and they urged me to write one since they're publishing one of mine in their "Ways of Magic" antho, so... here I am, writing a clockwork necromancer.

I will forever go down as That Werewolf Writer, and the current WIP stars my go-to Mad Scientist. He's married to a werewolf, who is very much the Alpha bitch in the relationship, and in this one she has to wolf him to save his life. Wackiness, as they say, ensues, and everyone's freaking out. Mine is an evil laugh.

I've also realized that I need to upload more icons to this account, because, hey, I'm still mostly over on LJ and never use this except for F!S. But I'm seeing familiar names here, so Hello, everyone!

I write both fic and original works. My fics tend to be aimed towards hurt/comfort, friendship stuff, with some romance here and there. My original stories tend towards scifi or fantasy.
