Fic Update

[amberfocus]

Oh, my gosh, you guys, I am on major fic muse overload.  I have written over 30,000 words in the past 4 days!  I should have another chapter of Hunger Moon up tomorrow.  I have written the first six chapters of Leap of Faith.  And I've written two more chapters on Chaste Moon, still somewhere in the middle of the fic.  It's like crazy Nine!muse overdrive.  If this keeps up I may very well finish HM in the next ten days.

FYI:  Leap of Faith is probably going to be a twenty chapter fic.  It is based on my short story Third Time's the Charm.  draconin thought, and I agreed, that it should be expanded into a multi-chapter fic before I wrote any kind of a sequel, which so many of you have asked me for.  And when I sat down to write it, it just took off.  This John Smith is certainly very different from the alt!Nine of the Better With You series, or the oh, so romantic Jonathon Smith (Ten2) of the Zeppelins 'verse.

Fair warning, he's a bit of a prat in the beginning.  And I'm totally in love with my Toshiko.  I've come to the conclusion that Rose needs Tosh coming into her life as much as she needs John and as much as John/alt!Nine needs Tosh.  She is coming off as a wonderful, wonderful friend.  You know, I've always loved the character of Tosh, but I haven't really written her much and I think she's finally going to get her due from me.  In a lot of ways this is going to be a Tosh and Rose friendship fic as well as a Rose/alt!Nine romance.  I haven't really seen the issue of Rose's possible loneliness for a strong female friend explored.

I am sorry that for the moment this is putting A Sky Without Stars on the back burner.  I know several of you have asked after Jonathon and Rose.  I do plan to dive back into it full force as soon as Hunger Moon is done, which I think will be four more chapters, while continuing to work on Leap of Faith until it is done.  I just really need to take advantage of the Nine!muse while it is roaring at top speed.  It's so much easier to write a fic when the ideas are flowing like mad.

Need a beta? Seems only fair since I'm partly to blame!

I'm familiar with both Dr Who & Torchwood although not a fanatic for details. I am, however, a total pedant... fanatic... enthusiast for grammar and spelling.

Ouah, you have written 6 chapters of Leap of faith? I'm stunned! My co-author and I are happy if we manage one part every week (not writing for DW, though).

Wow! I am so excited...I am keenly following Better With You and the Zeppelins verse. Love them both. And Third Time's The Charm was an intriguing short story. Would really love to see that expanded. Yay!

Well, I do love Zeppelins, but YEA for your Nine!muse.

While I'd like to read the next chapter of 'Stars,' it's definitely better to obey your muses and write what you're inspired to write, rather than try to force a chapter you're not inspired to do. I can wait.

I loved 'Third Time's the Charm,' and I can't wait to see what you do with the idea.
