scheduling

[mhalachai]

For the first time in my life, I have made up a writing schedule in order to actually get stuff done.

And for your edification, here it is (in order).

1. Chapter 10 of Physics of the Spin. The end of that chapter is a nice place to break for a bit, by which I mean a really nasty cliffhanger. I might or might not work on this while I'm working on #3, will see.

2. Chapter 13 of Dawning Light, which is the end of the first installment. There is a great deal of plot spacing between Part I and Part II, so the delay is a natural one, and it's a place I can leave it for a while. No, I'm not going to explain that one further ;)

3. The rest of Inevitable. I'm moving it to the "end" of this schedule because it's not going to be a quick process.

And there may/will be small ficlettes in the middle, mostly Torchwood related at this point because new fandoms are fun and inspiring.

I need more Physics Of The Spin. *whiny voice, bit of begging thrown in*
You're not feeding my habit quick enough. :)

Eee! Torchwood! Ah, my love is for Jack. *squee*

Ah, my luck is totally running per usual with discovering fabulously enjoyable new WIP crossovers. In other words, yet another that's gone on hiatus while other stories get front-burnered.

Hi. I just discovered The Physics of the Spin and read it all (for WIP values of "all") up in one sitting. I can't resist stories featuring Rodney, even when he's not actually in the stories (well, he has been in, um, one scene? two? so far). And insane crossovers are another weakness of mine. And Rodney's a daddy stories (though usually that's because he's so adorably horrified by having to interact with a toddler). And Vala - I just adore her.

But, regardless of Rodney's actual amount of screen time, PotS is an engrossing read. The Gilmore Girls characters all feel spot-on, though to be honest I stopped watching around s3 or s4; the SGC characters feel equally authentic and I can speak with a bit more certainty there as I've seen every episode of both SG1 and SGA.

Now one particular thing that both Gilmore Girls and SG1/SGA have is a setting (meaning Stars Hollow, SGC headquarters and also Atlantis) that is almost a character in its own right. And you've captured the quirkiness of the Hollow and the insane logic of the SGC (ex. Save the World betting pools!) beautifully. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you do with Atlantis.

It's 5am and I'm seriously needing to get to bed or I'd continue on for a while longer. What else did I want to say? Oh! How I found your story. I found your story via a rec in chandri's journal, where I'm following her SGA WIP Catalysis. I'm actually kinda surprised I didn't find it at TtH.... Also, swift and easy writing on your story Inevitable (so you can get back to PotS).

Since PotS is so very much still eating my brain, I'm not sure if I can actually *stop* working on it for that long. Just this morning I was working out the climactic action scene for the story... I can't escape this story, no matter how hard I try.

Rodney will soon be must more prevalent - now that I have essentially skipped six months, and Rory will soon be on Atlantis, we'll have lots of Rodney. Because this is a story about how the teenage geek knocked up the pretty girl and when said brilliant offspring comes to town. All Rodney, all the time (except when not, but that's life. It'll at least include the Atlantis krew.

Thanks so much for your words on the characters - I have tried to keep them "in voice", even when Rory's going a little nuts. She's a hard character to write but I'm still giving it a go :)

I can't really see this hiatus lasting that long. I'll get sucked back into the story soon, knowing myself.

Yay. *bounces*

Even if Rodney isn't *physically* present, he is still prominent in every paragraph. Because, even though it isn't "all about Rodney", paradoxically, it also is.

My sympathies on your Rory difficulties. For me, her mindset through (most of) the story so far is completely foreign, the whole thing about who you are being defined by your parents and ancestors. Though maybe that's an "old families of New England" mindset? Or maybe not, considering the popularity of genealogy research as a hobby. Still, foreign to me. But an excellent motivating force for Rory in the story.

And she did go a little nuts, didn't she. Obsessive even.

Looking forward to more as it arrives.
