There is a new plan

[epershand]

The new plan is not "START MOAR WIPS." It is FINISH EXISTING WIPS. To encourage myself to do that, I am doing the WIP meme. Then I will be inspired and finish things, right? RIGHT? I WILL NOT DECIDE THAT MY LIFE NEEDS SEYMOUR/AUDREY II FIC?????

Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Feel free to ask about anything and I'll tell you the premise or paste you a tidbit for any of these.

Multiple questions encouraged. DISCUSSIONS OF HOW SWEETLY CREEPY "GROW FOR ME" IS ARE NOT.

"The Wizards of Silicon Valley AKA burned-out corporate wizards AU"

"Brendon/Brendon Mona Lisa AU (Pay to See You Frown)"

"Brendon/Brendon Time Travel"

"like we're pulling teeth (fake not-ex-boyfriends)"

"Isherwood AU"

"Bodyswap!"

"for her country"

"Fate's Wide Wheel"

"la la enemas la la"

"Tube grub fic"

"Soul Bonds Are for Suckers Anyways"

"THE MEEK SHALL INHERIT", HOW ARE YOU SO DELIGHTFUL?

I am particularly intrigued by the corporate wizards and the bodyswap and the soul bonds.

[epershand]

I just talked a bit about the soul bonds below (spoiler alert: twilight fic)

The corporate wizards is a Gabe/Bill story. It's this universe that is almost exactly the software industry but with magic instead of programming--magic comes from the interaction of human will with an energy field, and it turns out that various metals and crystalline structures, such as silicon, are excellent conductors of magic and you can encapsulate a spell and sell it and it's all ruthlessly practical and you go to tech schools to become an expert in it. Anyone can do it (and in fact, if you're a wizard, everyone you meet will totally tell you about that one magic class they took in college but how they haven't really done any magic since; it's kind of irritating).

Anyway, Gabe used to be the darling of the magical start-up scene, but ever since Midtown got acquired he's basically been going nowhere fast. And even Pete, his friend from Stanford who's now a hot-shot VC dude is like "look dude, you need to do something about this because it's really depressing to watch." And Gabe is mostly interested right now in doing *authentic* things that you build with your HANDS instead of with spells. Um and then he meets Bill at a club and Events Ensue, and Gabe gets really caught up in the weird shit that SANTI Industries is working on, and it gets him out of his slump. Along the way there is sex-whammy and a lot of arguments about free will and really, way more specific references to SF Bay Area geography and culture than is entirely necessary for one story. :)

I kind of want to write all the fiction in this particular world ever though. I want the story about Greta the sweet female wizard dealing with sexism in the industry. I want bb Ryan and Spencer making exploding spells and throwing them at cars. Maybe eventually even original fic in the universe... who knows?

(and the body swap is Brendon/Spencer PWP about Brendon being really excited to give his own body a blowjob and is maybe 300-500 words away from being sent to a beta)

That sounds pretty awesome. And I am always in favour of fic about Greta. What does Vicky-T do?
