[intro] to viklikesfic

[viklikesfic]

Name: Viktoria, or Vikki
Writing journal: viklikesfic (not just writing, but it's all there)
Main fandoms: Lotrips, actor RPF, Star Trek 2009. Lately, I've been in a mood for figure skating RPF.
Favourite characters/pairings: I'm kind of known for being that person who will write any pairing. I care more about the kinks/the genre/etc. than the pairing. Lately I've been on a Spock/Uhura kick, and also on a Johnny Weir/Stéphane Lambiel kick.
Types: Fanfiction, short stories, novels, poetry, academic writing, blogging
Favourite writing tool: I'm trying to make myself use tools more. At this point, gdocs. I'm trying to get into using Scrivener effectively and haven't so far.
Most difficult part of writing for me: On the fanfiction side, I'm trying to force a transition in style. My current style is very productive, by the seat of the pants, etc., but I've been using it for years and I'm kind of tired of it. It's good for witty repartee and hot sex, but I want more plot, more description, and more UST. Thus, for an upcoming challenge I'm trying to write slower, do more substantive editing, etc. For original fiction and poetry, the challenge is getting myself to sit down and do it and not hate it from the moment I start. I'm much more self-critical with original stuff.
Working on:

• The last 1,000 words of an au_bigbang story (Trek RPF vampire AU)
  
• A 1,000 word kirkspock exchange story that I haven't even started because the prompt's a challenge
  
• A het_idcrack response that I also haven't started but the deadline's later
  
• I want to write something for the queerlygen staying up late challenge
  
• Drabble responses to a request meme (one of five done)
  
• Want to try to write some prompt responses with a pair of new original characters
  
• Want to wrangle some WIPs and edit some co-written stuff to post
  
• May 1 deadline on a book chapter submission for an academic volume
  
• napowrimo

Coming up:

• Trek big bang story with that new writing style mentioned, Spock/Uhura
  
• Kink bingo!

Hello! *waves*

You have quite the list going as well. And I'm quite intriqued by your Trek RPF vampire AU. *wants*

[viklikesfic]

Hee! That one, fortunately, is very close to finished. Granted, there are many more intermittent sex scenes than there is plot, and thus I'm having trouble coming up with an ending, but I'll manage by next week when it's due.

[auroraprimavera]

I don't mind all the intermitten sex scenes...really. *cheekygrin*

Johnny Weir! ♥

Good luck with all that stuff. Especially the au_bigbang, I just mostly finished up mine.

[viklikesfic]

Hee, Johnny Weir :-)

Congrats on mostly finishing the big bang! I'm almost done but I think I'm starting to suffer big bang burnout. My little projects are getting ignored. I'm gonna do the Trek one and then maybe retire from big bangs for a while.

I'm feeling burnout with my spn_j2_bigbang. I'm eager to work on a couple of my others, but this is the next one due, so I'm trying to keep on task.

[viklikesfic]

Ooh *rah rah cheers you on* I'm excited to find that there is such a thing, because I was never able to get into SPN but I kind of love Jared/Jensen. And 600+ signups for the thing? Whoa. There's way more J(squared) than I realized.

[shanaqui]

The spn_j2_bigbang isn't just J2, but there's a lot of J2. Mine's Supernatural gen, focused on Dean. I've wanted to dabble with writing J2 for ages, but I've never got round to trying...

[viklikesfic]

Ohhh I see. Well regardless *rah rah* haha. I might read some of the SPN stuff anyway. I don't normally read things in an FPS fandom before I view/read the source material, but I'm thinking I might be able to follow SPN with a few eps worth of source material. I managed with SGA.

[shanaqui]

*snerk* Yeah, I flirted with SGA fandom for a while without watching more than a handful of episodes.

Mind if I add you? :)
