Check In Day 22
Apr. 22nd, 2025 10:04 pmfleetsparrow posting in writethisfanficGood night, good evening, good afternoon, good morning! (Choose your time zone appropriate greeting as desired.)
Discussion time: When I was in school, I was very much a "one story writer". Every now and then, I might switch to another story if the first one hit a block, but generally, I never wrote multiple things at the same time. After college, I continued very much in this same way, where I wouldn't even let myself think about writing something other than what my current project was (especially when it was exchange related and therefore time sensitive).
And then one dayI took an arrow to the knee, I decided to write something besides my main project out of spite for myself and my arbitrary Highlander-esque "there can only be one" rules.
This did help relieve some of the stress of "I'm not writing AND I'm also mad at myself for it, so I'll not write even harder." It also created a new issue where I have so many stories started but relatively few of them actually finished.
Which is a very long-winded way to ask: what about y'all? Do you tend to stick to one story/project until it's finished? Do you hop from one to another depending on your mood/brain capacity/due date? If you have multiple stories running at once, is there an order that you follow for when one gets its turn? If you write one at a time, do you ever have times where other ideas try to muscle in on your time, and, if so, what do you do with them?

Check In Day 21
Apr. 21st, 2025 10:56 pmfleetsparrow posting in writethisfanficHello, friends! We're here once again.
Discussion time: Since it's still currently Monday here, I'll pretend that's the case for all of us. Please humor me, I have so little else. Monday's can be hard for getting writing time. For anyone working the typical officey/9-5 type job, it's the start of the new work week. For anyone in school, it's usually the start of their week, too. And for some poor fools, it's trash night! It's me, I'm fools
BUT! New weeks mean new starts! So, yes, while it might mean a return to more rigid daily schedules, it might also mean that things are starting over. The week's only just begun, so we might not have hit the "cascading unfinished tasks" portion of the week that frequently overwhelms writing plans later in the week.
So how does Monday land for you? Are your Mondays usually more one extreme or the other? Or are they somewhere in the middle? Or maybe a secret third thing?

Characters/Pairings: Gen. Steve the Wraith, Original male character, John Sheppard
Rating: Mature
Length: 1801
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply. Second person POV
Creator Links: frostfire on AO3
Theme: Outsider POV, genfic
Summary: More issues, Steve's and others'.
Reccer's Notes: This is told from the POV of a young Marine, on guard outside Steve the Wraith's cell on Atlantis. He battles with the pressure Steve puts on his mind and senses, made worse by possible unresolved issues from his past. Then Sheppard visits and comprehensively distracts the Wraith, and things change. An interesting perspective and character study, and I liked the second person POV which made it more immediate, being inside the guy's thoughts.
