jajalala

Yearrgh now that I have my latest multichapter completely written, I ended up going on a writing spree for the past week or so on other projects... Now I'm sort of between two WIPs.

Strong concept, uncertain future
This one I kind of went ham on and wrote several chapters and feel like... ooh I'm vibing, there's a lot of angst potential, it's doing something I don't usually do (purely gen, no ship), and I kind of just wanna follow it, even though I actually have NO CLUE how or where I would end it... it could go on for 10 chapters or 50....

As excited as I am, I just hit a mild roadblock (mostly like a "I have SOME ideas of where to go next, but I don't wanna do those things yet, I feel like I need more in this department, but I also have some rando underdeveloped bits that I need to develop before I can dive into them...") so I ended up procrastinating with a diff WIP...

By-the-book, fully outlined.
During a burst of energy awhile back I fully outlined a BNHA x Utena crossover... but by the nature of it more-or-less being BNHA characters in Utena's plot, it came with an already-crafted setup (like obvi I'm individualizing to the characters and am not going exact beat-by-beat, but I'm following the main arcs and such). SO I already know this work would be about 13 chapters based on my outline... and since it's already set up, in theory it should be smooth sailing to fill out the notes I've left me.

But also aaa idk, the concept is so hyper-specific, and I kind of wonder if the effort of writing it all out would be worth it... also despite the outlining, in terms of actual work I'm only partway through the second chapter, so I feel like it's not necessarily flowing as well as the other one.

Deadlines??
The real best choice here is to work on my exchange fic for the FE3H Femslash exchange, but that's not due for another month! I'm sure I'll have time, right?

...right???
