Stolen from lassarina, among some others:

I will post the names of all the files in my WIP folder(s), regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Choose one (1), and I will post a random line or two.

I'm just going to warn you now: these are very literal filenames. Yes, there is actually a system to this. Yes, it does make sense to me.

Laguna is adorablecakes. Although I didn't really appreciate him until I started writing him. (And you should see the poor man when Ellone starts trying to explain her synesthetic perception of time.)

Oh, lord! LoD is like... a precious nostalgic memory of my childhood. I never wrote all that much fic for it back when, but I've got a few things underway for it now, though they are slow going.

[lassarina]

I wrote semi-obsessively for a couple of years and since then it has languished. XD But I really enjoyed it while I was there.

[nagia]

I just had the best realization ever. Remember him?

Yeah. Compare, and consider the white markings on his skin.

Kind of a superficial resemblance, I know, but. I'm just going to sit here and be very weirded out. (Although at least Fenris doesn't have chronic backstabbing disorder.)

[lassarina]

ohshi--

WOW. oh hello crossover GO AWAY I don't have time for you right now

but *_*

[nagia]

I know. It would be so glorious. Maybe after Megaflare?

[lassarina]

Maybe! I...Megaflare is going to be tricky because I still only have 3700 words and NaNo is coming up, but we shall see. (My writing brain went to the Bahamas and didn't even have the courtesy to invite me along, the little sneak.)

[nagia]

Oh, ouch! I know what you mean about the writing brain off and disappearing on you; I have like 5k left until I hit target wordcount, but god only knows how close the story is to completion. And then throw in the ridiculous family drama and the new job and the moving... I may have to write the mods for an extension.

Do you have your NaNo plans made?

[lassarina]

I do! I'm doing basically the sequel to last year's (or, okay, Part II of the same book, but I have won legitimately with four different projects, and I say I am finishing this fucking book this year.) which means that my prep work needs are fairly minimal, at least.

[nagia]

Phew! At least you don't have to do a lot of prep.

Won it four years, huh? I'm a little jealous! I very rarely win NaNo. I either get distracted or lose all momentum on a project, and never make wordcount on whatever I pick up after.

[lassarina]

I discovered that having a plot written down ahead of time helps, so when I get bogged down or bored I skip ahead to the next point and that's that!
