Writing. . .

[haemophilus]

Is there anything more painful as a fic writer than being almost but not totally done with a fic I'm just asking for a friend.

I'm like so close to being done with this Frank/Barbara fic because I just wrote the end but I have two more middle chapters and AGH THIS FIC WILL BE DONE TODAY IT WILLL IT WILL. 

I just really want this thing to be done so I can a) dive into my conference stuff b) dive into school stuff and c) move on to completing Transcendental Youth. I have an excessive number of other WIP, but Transcendental Youth is top priority.

It's seriously so funny because last night I was talking to a friend about Sunny fandom's high turnover rate and how most writers don't say very long and I was waxing poetic about how many ideas have and what a great sandbox Sunny is and I don't understand how people don't see that Sunny is the absolute ultimate perfect sandbox and then I was like. Just thinking and doing the math and I said to my friend like "hey is it really this perfect untapped sandbox for everybody or is it more of a 'me specifically'" situation and she was like "This is a you specifically situation."

But anyway I seriously have so many fic ideas and WIP left that I could keep writing for this show for years and not run out. There's so many things I still haven't done! So many ships I haven't written! So many dynamics I haven't explored! And more all the time. . .I have stockpiles of ideas and fic snippets and outlines that are months or even years old. Like seriously, on the "not top priority but on the closest backburner to the front" is just sitting right now at:

• Bonnie/Mrs Mac thru the years
• That Mac + heteronormativity fic
• The Thelma and Louise fic that I'm probably going to take down and redraft again lol
• Fics inspired by that Ingmar Bergman photoshoot

But then I have lots more like I have this AU idea of just this long MacDennis smut fic that's just Mac as Dennis' prostitute and that's it that's the whole fic. I have that Mac + Punk rock fic that basically would just need one more draft of an outline to be ready to be written. I could pick up "I could never rescue you" at any time. . .

Anyway during or after Transcendental Youth and Bonnie/Mrs Mac I probably will end up writing the prostitute one because it seems like a really laid back thing to write during the school year and it seems like something people would really like.

No dude I agree that Sunny is a good sandbox, there is so much opportunity to put them in dubious or fucked up situations! Like that Mac/Dennis choke!fic I wrote-- it would be totally plausible! Because so much is implied and never really explored in the show.

I... kinda? Wanna do a Dennis is a failed serial killer thing? Like he tries but never actually gets through an assault and he just spirals from there, but it's self directed and he baits the Philly PD until they SWAT raid his house and they find him listless and nonresponsive in his room full of failed trophies.

But I'm afraid the fandom would kill me ahaha.

You definitely should do this. Ao3 Sunny fandom is really chill. I wrote a fic where Dennis cannibalizes women this year and nobody gave me a hard time.
