Playing CATCH UP! As I realize I've not been posting anything HERE. I've only been posting at LJ...
So, I apologize there are going to be several posts going up here today.
Wow! I haven't posted stats since December 2021? Ten months? Of course, I haven't really been writing much either.
I really want to complete my stories. It helps to keep track of them, so they're not forgotten.
My WIP writer's statement:
My name is Jacie, and I have 2 WIPs.
Notes:
So 2 WIPs, plus I've signed up for SeSa, and I also have a piece of artwork I created last year that I decided to KEEP instead of using for the RB. I haven't even started writing THAT story yet. And my kind of thing, I was going to use it for the Big Bang, however, I really want to always submit a summary to the claims. That's the thing about the challenge. I want to encourage participation and artists do get discouraged when authors do their own artwork. Although, if someone is running late for the claims, I'm not going to say they CAN'T do their own art. We have so few stories in the challenge that one more story is a good thing.
Completed:
I have completed one story since my last post, it's my 2022 NCIS Big Bang story.
Two Roads
(Formerly ***** bunny - I'm not saying the bunny name as it's a huge spoiler for the story...LOL. Not that anyone actually reads these notes.)
WC 60,700 (completed 12/10/2022)
I worked really hard on this one. I think it has a unique twist. And some readers have agreed! I was concerned that since it's set in later seasons (especially the end of S18 and early S19), that people wouldn't read it. I'm a bit disappointed by the low number of kudos. I think this is one of my 10 best NCIS fics, but it seems destined to be in the bottom 10 of the year by kudos. *le sigh*. I'm not complaining (because it is what it is), but it does make me sad. It is my 100th NCIS fanfic!
Summary:
Tony left NCIS and is now employed by the FBI, assigned to a team that works missing persons cases in California. He can’t believe it when Tim calls from DC to tell him that Gibbs’ boat blew up on a lake, and Gibbs is now missing. Tony travels to DC to assist in the search, but no trace of Gibbs is found. Returning back to his job in LA, Tony is still devastated by the loss. One night, he meets an attractive young man on a beach and they begin a relationship. However, more surprises come down the road to shake up Tony’s world, including Gibbs’ journals that Tim finds and sends to Tony to read. Through the journals, Tony learns that Gibbs secretly harbored romantic feelings toward him for many years, which leads to Tony re-evaluating how he truly feels about Gibbs. It also leaves him more determined than ever to find out what happened to his former boss.
Current WIPs:
Started 2022:
Fish Tales bunny
WC 4875 (last updated 08/11/2022)
So this one, I was concerned we may have more artists than summaries. I wanted something to offer if that were the case and all artists wanted to participate (like last year, when I offered up Temping Poses). This is not good. Also, I knew it was headed in the 5000 Micro-Bang level, and all the other stories are over 20K this year. I really had no interest in submitting a crappy 5K story in that field. But I'll probably finish it one day...maybe. Basically, Tony and Gibbs take their Dads fishing to break the news about their relationship. Senior is being Senior.
Holiday Vacation bunny
WC 400 (last updated 10/??/2022)
I really enjoy the series called Ghosts, the US version. So I thought, what if Gibbs takes Tony to Woodstone Manor for a holiday vacation? Still working on it. My thought is to have it ready for the HHC. I think I could make it work for Dec 9 Holiday Vacation or Dec 23 Blizzard/Snow (anything related to snow). We shall see. Not sure it will get where I want it to be in time. I did sign up for SeSa, but assignments aren't out, plus my brothers are coming for Thanksgiving.
List of unstarted Bunnies:
At this time, there are 6.
1) OCT 2019 - Fictional Characters bunny
2) FEB 2020 - Training bunny
3) APR 2020 - Sr Conman bunny
4) AUG 2020 - Kidnapped bunny
5) OCT 2020 – Multiverse bunny
6) May 2022 - Missing Tony bunny
These are little bunnies that may have a paragraph or two of notes, but I haven't started writing yet. They might get written one day, or they may never get written. I suspect I'll drop them after a certain amount of time, maybe 5 years on the list, or if I simply lose all interest, or forget where I was headed with it.
