Over 1400 words now, but I do have to admit that a lot of them are large paragraphs of [[[And then this happens here in this way]]].

Yay!

I HAET U!

*continues waiting for inspiration*

I'm currently stalling on, of all things, names. For some reason my brain won't let me insert [[[NAME1]]] and continue. *twitch*

[mscongeniality.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that kind of thing is irritating.

For my part, once I'm feeling a little better, I'm just going to start writing and hope a plot comes to me...

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Oh, I have that tic too, although it's gotten better over time as I become a crankier Yoon.

My sister just goes Alice, Bob, Charles, etc. down the line, but my sister's always better at being non-neurotic than I am. *g*

I wish I could do that, but once I name a character, he or she tends to be stuck with that name, usually. XD

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Me too. I cannot proceed without a name.

I can't even start writing without names for all major participants (and that includes non-human entities like cities, ships, etc., as applicable).

I'm about to start blocking scenes, which I've never done before, but this is shaping up a lot longer than anything I've written as a fic previously. It'll be easier if I have it outlined as a series of scenes, with a summary of what happens and who's there. Once that's done, I'll write each scene as I would write a short fic.

I have things anchored into the timeline, and I have a pile of name lists, some from canon, some picked up elsewhere.

Mine exists entirely in the form of a chat session that mostly goes like this:

Me: And then this happens!
Other person: No way! BWA-HA-HA!

I've written everything but the bits that require the names. This is interesting, as it's the first time I've ever written anything out of order. Hmm.

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Maybe a random name generator (http://www.google.com/search?q=random+name+generator&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a) (google search link) will provide you some inspiration for possible names? Failing that, it might make you laugh uproariously (but in that case you have to share!).

[telophase.livejournal.com]

It does make me laugh uproariously, but I can't actually explain why until after the reveal. :)

[yhlee.livejournal.com]

Curse you and your Yuletide-rule-abiding secretive ways! *g*

[telophase.livejournal.com]

:D *is evil*

All will (Eventually) Be Explained. I should make notes about all the things I can't talk about and make a huge post about it on Jaunary 1st. XD

[chomiji]

Do it! That would be a helluva lotta fun!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I'm up to 625, but I'm sort of at the 'then funny things happen' point. Oh dear.

[telophase.livejournal.com]

INSERT PLOT HERE --->

WHY DID I THINK I COULD WRITE THIS CANON AGAIN.
