stellahibernisLet's look at some numbers, shall we.
I have a document where I list all my fics that are either WIPs or just ideas. If I think of a very broad concept I don't put it on the list yet, but if there's a particular perspective or hook, it goes there. For example, there's no "something post-EG" entry, but "post-EG with this specific starting point and conflict" is there. Right now, the total number of fics on the list is 24. It's very likely not all of these end up written, because there are always new ones that at the moment feel more urgent, and if I get an idea when I'm very intensely writing something else, it might get shuffled to the bottom pile and as time passes feel less and less relevant. There are several ideas/WIP that came up during the writing of These Are My Hands, that will possibly stay as they are indefinitely.
Of those 24, four are currently on the top of my mind, and two are actual WIPs. The one I'm more intensely working on right now is the Cap BB fic. It's coming along pretty well, although (unsurprisingly) the projected word count seems to be going up. Three of nine chapters are written, and I've got 14k words, so it looks closer to 40k total than the 35 I guessed last week. I wrote a particularly tricky scene yesterday and it came out pretty well I think, so I'm happy.
The submissions for claims are on the 15th, which means I'm going to have to think of a title for it, and as usual I have no ideas at all. I'm easily past the required word count for this point, and the scene I want to submit for claims is selected, so clearly there needed to be one thing to struggle with. I know it can be a working title, but I'd prefer to have it at least close to final one. I'll keep my focus on this story over the next week as well, I want to have it as close to finished by the claims as possible.
The other story that I've been writing is the post-Endgame thing. Recently I've been focusing on it less, but it's coming along, and once my vacation starts week from now I'll start editing along with the writing so that I can start posting.
The last two on the top of my head are still on the idea level, but they're cooking, new details keep coming up, and the point when I can start writing is nearing. One of them is a war time story, and the other one has an ace-Steve, which is something I've been mulling over for a while now. I might start writing one of these during my vacation, or during the fall at latest.
Another thing I should start considering, since we're at the second half of the year; what will the end of year holiday fic be?
