stellahibernisI've got three weeks until my summer vacation and I'm about ready to start now. At least the last few weeks should be less hectic than the previous few.
With writing it was an okay week in general. I'm not sure if I've mentioned it in these posts (it's mentioned on my dw profile) that I also volunteer as a translator for OTW, which means in general I've got less time for writing, since there are only so many hours in the day and week. For the last sevenish months since i started volunteering the OTW time has mostly come from my writing time. It's not a one on one exchange, because there are times when creative writing isn't happening because ugh, but translating etc. is still possible. Anyway, I'm still expecting to write somewhat less than over the previous couple of years, but it's a choice I'm happy with, I like the volunteer work and the community. Recently it's been busy with all the elections content, so I've been prioritizing that somewhat, but I've still managed to write more fic than in winter when I clearly had the fallow season going on.
Anyway, to the stories. I've worked on the Endgame thing, the first chapter is written (but not edited, I've decided to start posting it later and not tomorrow like I speculated I might). I also added some more notes for the upcoming chapters.
I also worked on the Cap BB fic. I'm now starting to lean toward posting it in chapters, but it's not given yet. Second chapter is halfway done, and I should maybe work on the plot outline a bit more because I have the vague "aim here" sense of it, but no real structure yet, and I'm getting to the part where I'm starting to need that.
And my brain cooked up another idea, but happily it didn't end up as a new entry on my idea list, because it fit together with a previous one very nicely. The old one was an angle for a character, this new one is a plot that creates a nice bit of conflict for that particular characterization, so it worked out for me.
