quasar273I've signed up for both Yuletide and NaNoWriMo! I tried (and failed) at NaNoWriMo once before, during my dry period, but I've never done Yuletide before -- last year I completely spaced on the signup.
My NaNoWriMo project is an SGA novel. During the last few weeks I was torn between pursuing an emo hurt-comfort alternate ending to The Hive where Rodney essentially has a stroke; the one where the mermaids (genetically engineered by the Ancients) kidnap Rodney from Atlantis and John has to pursue; the one with the cool magic-using AU concept where all magic is based on the four fundamental forces and most people learn at least a little bit of electr-magnetic manipulation in school; and the AU sequel to Cross Product. Number four won, and now I'm working on getting Alt-John and Alt-Rodney together so they can go off and have adventures. Whee! Oh, and it's also a Sentinel crossover, just because. But AU Sentinel, of course.
My Yuletide assignment is . . . wait, why did I say I could write that? With all the the fandoms I marked off thinking 'Oh boy, I hope I get assigned to write that one,' why did I include a fandom I only half-know and am not that interested in, and why did the computer have to pick that one?! Hmm, but some of these other requests look interesting even though I don't know anything about them. Maybe I'll acquire a new fandom in my copious spare time. My bosses don't actually expect me to work while I'm at work, do they?
My rule (so far) is that I can work on other fic after I finish my 2000 words for the day. So far it's working, but it's only been a couple of days.
