Writing Update

[dragonheart]

I have officially withdrawn from the casestory  bigbang challenge.  I thought I would feel disappointed once I made it offical, but I only feel relief, which leads me to believe it was the right decision.

I will continue to work on my story, but at my pace and without deadline pressure.  Perhaps,it will give me something to work on over the summer hiatus (after we finish talking about the finale and speculating about the premiere for season 10). 

I have 5 out of 10 chapters written.  The first 5 chapters set up the case and introduced new characters.  I am at the meat and potatoes part of the story - our team putting the pieces together, solving the case and working through some personal stuff (you know there has to be a shippy element to the story!)

As far as inkingitout  goes - I am 31% to goal.  A little behind - I had hoped to be 40% by first of May.  But I am not discouraged - I am hoping that the next three episodes give me fodder for a fic or two.  I have a couple of ideas kicking around, but nothing has solidified in my head yet.

I actually had a Game of Thrones fic that I was considering, but after reading George R. R. Martin's stance on fanfic and his expressed wish that his characters not be used in fanfic, I am going to let it go. 

Sticking with the NCIS fandom for writing inspiration - and if Bellasario and Company ever officially come out with a stance against fanfic - please don't tell me, because this really is a case of ignorance is bliss.

I get why authors feel that way, but I just think that they should understand that people love their books so much they just want to be a part of it. It just makes me think that they have forgotten what it feels like to be a fan of something that they themselves didn't create. Just my thoughts.
