Second Uncut Post!
Apr. 30th, 2020 09:17 amMonth two of the quarantine has passed. Technically, it probably should have been month three but we have a selfish, malicious, and incompetent egoist as a president. Still doing alright, able to have any live meetings I need to have online. I technically finished the first draft of my master project last Thursday. It was easier because a lot of the material for the last two chapters was already present in a pilot short story I wrote for one class. There was a lot of copy and pasting, though I did modify and change radically some sections. Now with the weeks left until submission, I’m reading and editing four pages a day starting from the very beginning. Of course, in my normal two hours a day routine, I could edit maybe a page or two more but I want to take my time and really make some improvements. Sometimes that means cutting and outright rewriting some sections. I know I won’t really be editing things down until the semester ends but I thought I might as well start on some more basic critiques.
But I might have at least a week long break before I really get down to editing my master project, so that could give me some time to edit and maybe even post the next chapters of We Will Hold On Forever, though don’t hold me to it. As I probably said before, I need to do some edits to clarify some confusion about the stakes of the conflict. I hope the people who read it will think the wait was worth it, especially since some events will happen that will whet the appetite for the next chapters (and it’ll probably be a long wait to the next chapters). From now on, I hope to have at least Saturday as a time to write and edit this story.
This will have to be balanced with other fic writing, because my mind is grabbed by a big Digimon crossover story. Seeing the Super Robot Wars crossover concept of having all the series happen in the same world at the same time and intercede with one another led to the plot bunny of doing the same with the Digimon series anime. I’m going with 02-Tamers-Frontier-Savers-Hunters-Appmon. Six plots, seven to eight casts. This is an undertaking probably too ambitious for me. I don’t know if it’ll actually go anywhere but I heard an interview with Get Out director Jordan Peele where his writing advice was to “follow the fun” and so I’m doing that, plotting one chapter a day and then writing bits of the crossover segments immediately after. All the possible friendship combos and how they can change a character and plot’s development are too tantalizing to resist. That will be the hard balancing act, how much to allow canon events to happen and how much to throw it out the window because of character interactions and the plotlines just being put into a blender. If this ever sees the light of day, that would be a pleasant surprise. Anyone with more commitment and such are free to steal this idea for this or any other fandoms.
That’s all for now. Pretty surprising to post this in the morning, though that’s more because my sleep schedule is out of whack again. Until the end of May, see you!
