One of the good things about posting my Twelve Days of Christmas plus all my entries for the Amnesty Challenge on [livejournal.com profile] fan_flashworks is the number of Kudos I've received lately.  It's very flattering - but then 16 ficlets is bound to produce something.  What has been particularly satisfying is when someone likes one ficlet and proceeds to read more of the same - in the latest case I seem to have produced a Guy/Much convert.

The disadvantage is I really don't feel like writing much at the moment.  Which is unfortunate, as I need to finish my [livejournal.com profile] smallfandombang fic this month.  There are 11,500 words written, so I'm passed the minimum; I just need my characters to agree to draw it to a close.  I tried, but "nah!" I tried again "ooh, yes, and then what about?"  At this point I'm going to send them all to bed - either separately or together, I really don't care - and tell them to get it sorted in the morning.

Apart from that I don't have any particular plans for the year, which I suspect is why my writing dried during the spring and summer.  So flist, time for your thoughts.  I have a couple of ficlets I've promised to write ([livejournal.com profile] talkingtothesky and [livejournal.com profile] fengirl88 you haven't been forgotten), but other than that these are my current vague ideas:

  • A follow up Lucas/Adam fic - will be happening, odd thoughts are swirling around.

  • I'm very fond of my Sussex Retirement ACD 'verse.  Up to now it's been almost entirely based on prompts from [livejournal.com profile] older_not_dead but the remaining ones don't inspire me/fit into the 'verse.  At some point I need to write the history of Hopkins and Annie Fuller.

  • We've just been looking at His Last Bow on [livejournal.com profile] sherlock60 which reminded me of the 60 I wrote last time Aftermath.  I'm considering expanding on this.

This time last year I wrote concerning three WiPs, which inspired me to finish them.  I'm hoping this will have a similar effect.  Any and all comments gratefully received.  I'm not looking for challenges from new comms - I belong to enough to keep my ficlet writing going (including [livejournal.com profile] watsons_woes and Mouselet still has her monthly column to write) - but am more looking at the 2.5K to 3K fics.
