Well on the positive side, I finally have my characters at the haunted house. That really is the problem of writing in a world that isn't ours and with characters who need to be introduced -- there is just so much world and character building that needs to be done. I keep telling myself that this first draft is just that, a draft and all I'm trying to do is get words on paper. Still though, I so love the core idea behind my story and I really want to share it with people but right now it's pretty much like a giant hairball of a mess.
Still, it's coming along nicely, the characters are developing personalities and I'm pretty sure that I have the 'villain' figured out. At least I've figured out her motivation and what she wants. I still don't know what she's going to do when they stop her (assuming they do). After all, pissing off the avatar of Shub-Niggurath is not going to be a good career move.
33566 / 50000 words. 67% done!
I also took the opportunity to name and post a fic a wrote earlier this year (The Longest Con) - It's a first person telling of Smokey joining the Autobots and I'm thinking of expanding on it since I have this idea in my head that the early Autobots were not nice people and that classism and racism (does that work with robots?) was running rampant among the ranks. After all, Prime would be dealing with the fall out of the corrupt council and all the entitlement that went with it. I kind of got the idea after rewatching some of the early episodes of the original Battlestar Galactica.
