Another State of the Fic Address
It's time for another State of the Fic Address, in which I tell you how things are going in ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mhalachaiswords' ficland, and you ask any questions you want about my ongoing fics. The reason it's time for a SotFA is that I'm once again stuck on Inevitable 67, and need a break from the headbanging and the wailing. And the story too.
Inevitable (AB/HP): It's my baby, and it's consuming most of my mental attention. As I said above, I'm working on chapter 67, which will be out this weekend, even if I have to tie the author to a chair. Oh, wait. Never mind.
So, I suppose this is a good place for the announcement: The final chapter tally will be 80. So, including the currently-being-worked-on chapter 67, that's 14 chapters to go. The action and adventure will pick up!... in chapter 71. From there, it's non-stop action. I'm getting tired just thinking about it. So, I'll be spending most of my fic energy there.
Switchback (AB): My most depressing story. I love it so. Once I get done with Inevitable, I intend to take up Switchback as my main story (I can't write Switchback and Inevitable at the same time; the Anitas get confused in my head and they are very, very different people). It's going to be long and plot-filled and all that jazz, being all about Anita and what makes her tick. It's also my only big AB story at the moment.
Magnolia (AB/XMen): I've completed 3/5 chapters, and 2 are left. Chapter 4 is mostly done... it's not going to be a swashbuckler, but more of a character study. As characters are, um, studied. I plan to complete this before XMen 3 comes out on May 26, which shouldn't be too strenuous a deadline.
Balancing Act (AB/SG1) : 2/8 chapters are complete. The story is going to start zooming in the next chapter, when mini-Jack meets a certain young necromancer, there's a cameo appearance from an SGC personnel member, and so on. The ending wasn't really clear in my mind until a few days ago, but now I have an excellent conclusion to the story. So much more sense than the original plan, and very IC for Jack. Plus, guns.
This story will be worked on in between chapters of Inevitable, and should be done before the end of the summer.
Promises (FF/MG): The next part of Promises (it only has two parts) will be up next week. The second part is told from Inara's point of view, and will be rather longer than Mal's part. It will deal with Inara's recovery and a decision she has to make.
Candlelight (AB/BtVS): .... I know, I know, it's my longest-running story to date, but the story end as it stands feels a little weak. I have no intention of abandoning this, it's still actively in the mind-mill, but I can't make any promises.
The following stories are for the time being on hiatus (which means I'm not abandoning them, but have no plans to pick them up in the near future):
Letter Box
Shop Talk
The 'Me' in Team
And lastly, all those Ficlette Fiasco things are still being worked on as well! Some day, I promise!
