spacemutineerSo I've been at this fic writing for a while now, and I am gradually accumulating quite a pile of bits and pieces of stories. Some of it is fairly useless until I flesh it out a bit, just ideas and snippets of dialogue. But some of my bits and pieces are whole scenes that I like and want to do something with.
The problem is, I'm not always ready to work them into a complete form. So I'm going to try something new, since I write slowly and haven't posted much of anything in a while. I'm going to start posting some of these random unconnected scenes and seeing what happens. Maybe they'll jostle something loose and I can keep going with them. Or perhaps not. But it seems pointless to me to just leave them sitting on Google Docs collecting digital dust.
I'm a little reluctant to call them fics, since they're often just first parts of stories, introductions to a plot ideas I had in my head at some point. They're not complete by any means, but there's no rule that says I have to finish something up completely, right? There aren't rules here; I can experiment. Plenty of writers I love on here post disconnected scenes and intro cliffhangers all the time -- why can't I? So, I that's what I'm going to try. We'll see how it goes. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I'll post the first one today or tomorrow. I sent it out for a beta read, but my poor dear beta is on a well-earned and deserved break, so it may be going up a bit rough. Oh, well. Perfectionist me needs to shut up a little anyway.
