wyntir_knightWell, it’s May and that means that Camp NaNo (April) is over. I reached my word goal in my editing, and I have decided that I am completely displeased with what I have and I am scrapping the TF/MCU fic. Or, should I say, I’m scrapping what I have. I think I was trying too hard to force the canons as they currently exist to play nicely together and they just won’t. … Well maybe they will, but I’m not the writer to make that particular crossover work. So I’m starting over and seeing if I can make AUs of the two fandoms and then make the AUs work together. Also, I’m thinking that I need to start in media res, with the Cybertronians already human and worry about the first meeting between the two groups later. Right now the first meeting is causing me too much stress, so I’m skipping it.
So, the plans for May are to work on the new version of the crossover and on my Smokey/Ratchet first meeting fic. I pretty much have two scenes left to write for that, I have to edit it a bit more, and then I can post. So far I’m really pleased with it, I’m just having trouble with the ending - specifically with a couple of potentially required NSFW scenes between the two characters. I have considered doing a couple of fade to blacks, but I doubt that the readers will appreciate that, and it would end up with the story ending rather quickly and overwhelmingly.
So, those are the plans. Two fics. I want to start one and finish the other. Hopefully I can manage at least that much.
