[writing] x-men movieverse

[escritoireazul]

So I've been sitting here, trying to catch up on my flist (impossible task) and decide what to write for the xmmficathon due next month. (I would be working on the femgenficathon also due next month [did I say how grateful I was that the deadline was extended? Very grateful] but all the source books are still packed. Next weekend, or the long weekend after it, I intend to finish it before class starts. I also intend to finish the xmmficathon.) I know which prompt I'm writing, and I'm excited about it. However, all I want to do is write hot Colossus high school everything-but-sex situations. Guys, girls, I don't care whom he is paired with, I just want it. Oh, Colossus. (Everything-but-sex covers a lot of things -- blow jobs in the closet, frottage, heavy petting at the movies, etc.) Unfortunately, that doesn't actually fit what I need to be writing, and also I don't think I could do it justice.

Maybe I'll write some more Star/Maria from The Lost Boys instead. thestalkycop asked for some, and what the girl wants, she gets, it sometimes just takes awhile. (She's been asking me to write what I'm writing for femgen for quite awhile now.)

Stupid blank Word document. I think I'll copy and paste the prompt in just to have something.

xmmficathon is starting to make me feel wiggly. I finally know what I'm going to write, but still. I'm a bit ehhhhhish about the whole thing.

Ever since X3, I've been feeling kind of eh about writing xmm fic at all. I want to still love it, especially because most of the time I can just ignore the canon of X3, but it's hard for me to shut it out of my brain. I don't know why.

Your current X-obsession is astonishingly close to what I'm going to be working on for xmmficathon... And like you, I fear that I can't do it justice. *wibbles*

Um, not to put any pressure on you or exacerbate that worry that you won't do it justice, but I am looking forward to your xmmficathon story SO MUCH right now I can't even tell you how much. I love it when I want a story and then, hey, someone's actually going to be writing it. Yay.

LOL! Ummm... eep?

Hehehe, hopefully, it won't disappoint. You or the person who requested it. Or me, for that matter... *goes back to wibbling*

I'm in a similar situation. I've been staring at my xmmficathon prompts for about a week. I know what I'm going to write and what's going to happen but the words aren't quite coming.

It's frustrating when that happens. I even love my prompts, most of them are things I would write even if not for the ficathon, but I just can't seem to get anything going.

I did manage to write a few paragraphs last night; I probably won't even keep them to the final draft, but at least something is down. It's a beginning. I can work from that.
