So since my goal here is for people to continue to have the social interactions that are such valuable fuel for writers, I'll go first and do a little roundup of my current projects. Insofar as I'm spending much time writing at all.
My most recent piece, Greyhair, about Geralt the Witcher accidentally acquiring a cat, was gratifyingly well-received, both online and by the target audience, which was my kids. Though they did complain that it was too short. I've got two Witcher fics in progress, even though I don't know what I'm doing or what the hell my goals are even. One is a short smut piece that's mostly done, but the other is a wholeass story, at least seven chapters I'd estimate, of which I have about 2/3 of one. So like...why. Plus at least two more solid concepts for other longish Witcher stories. The series really just leaves so many good possibilities, technically speaking.
But I really feel guilty about my continued lack of progress on Little Fox, which I promised myself a long time ago I would absolutely finish. I've got to finish it, to prove to myself I can. But I'm like...halfway done and haven't touched it in months. I plotted the whole thing and lemme tell you it's good stuff but somehow plotting it all out took the discovery out of it? Sigh. I even replayed the whole game looking for inspiration, and didn't get it. The game and my story are just...too divergent.
Anyway, that's plenty to start with.
