wyntir_knightSo we're approaching November rapidly and that means National Novel Writing Month. And since I'm apparently a masochist, I'm signing up again. This year I'll be working on Being Human, my humanized transformers fic. I have a lot that I need to do on that one to set it up and I'm struggling.
I need to:
- complete the Hoover Dam combat scene, which involves: getting the Batties and Smokescreen far enough away from the battlefield to ensure a separate storyline; having Jazz, Frenzy, Natasha, and Clint learn what's really going on in the dam; hint at who/what is responsible for the transformation
- get some of the Cybertronians to New York and the Avengers Tower
- deal with the Batties and Smokescreen and their deal
- finding out what happened to the Cybertronians who were left back at base in New York
So, I potentially have four stories here. I mean, I could intersperse chapters or I could write several shorter fics. Part 1 - Hoover Dam. Part 2 - Avengers Tower. Part 3 - The Combaticons. Part 4 - The Others in New York. Part 5 - Teams come back together and something big comes down the pipes.
Yeah, I know that I'm being Vaguey McVaguerson, but I'm still figuring things out. The key thing will be that this is going to involve the Guiding Hand and their relationship to the Infinity Stones and maybe Thanos. And definitely Shockwave. I will be following the basic gist of the MCU movies, but there's a lot of stuff in there that I just don't like and so I'm going to ignore those aspects. And there are things from the comics that I want to include to replace some of the stuff I don't like.
And that brings us back to NaNo 2019. I am going to draft out the Combaticon section of the fic (and maybe some of the Avengers stuff) because that's what's living in my headspace right now. And I do think that I'll be plantsing. I know the beats that I want to hit and the start and end point. I know that I'll manage the 50K (I usually can), the question will be if any of the work will be in any way useful. We'll see.
