NaNo News And Other FanFiction
Nov. 3rd, 2007 11:31 pmI've finished Chapter One! :D Now the real meat of the story comes in. Word count for said chapter:
I'm aiming for roughly 2,000 words a day. Keep your fingers crossed.
-M: I still can't believe he managed to get out of Hell.-
Well, I had to have him around to terrorize you all. Trust me, he goes back in worse condition than he left.
-VuM: Considering the way he ticked off the Devil, I'm not surprised.-
-TD: I have to admit to some minor confusion -- how is he going to get his hands on the story version of Victorian-Dressed?-
I'm thinking it'll be like this -- the time machines are always set to go to Hill Valley. Since there isn't one in the Americas in your world, it defaults to the Europa Wulfenbach one. Flimsy explanation, I know, but this is a NaNoWriMo fic -- word count is more important than plot.
-HD: That's a rather backwards way of looking at things. I heartily approve.-
Glad to hear it. I still need to figure out just who he's picking up, of course. It's 1990 when he arrives -- guess my best bet is to check the timeline and see who'd still be active.
-D: You know, you could probably have him jump around in time as well as dimensions to get just the villians you want.-
I know, but I sort of want you to all be on the same page timeline-wise.
-TD: . . .-
. . . Oh, yeah. Okiedokie then, now I have to justify Jack going back that far.
-VDM: Attempt to lose pursuing Docs?-
That could work, yeah.
-VD2: How many characters are going into this?-
Oh sheesh, loads and loads. Jack's going to end up with 10 Martys -- and that's BEFORE we crash into BTTF!Wonderland and get you guys involved!
-Docs: . . . O.o-
I told you, it's epic.
Of course, NaNo means I'm not working much on other fanfic.
geno0823's latest chapter of "Midsommer Lost" does inspire Changeling thoughts, though.
-VD: I miss the Victorian era conception of fairies.-
LoL, well, "Cinder-Marty" has one of those, and she's your canonical trilogy love interest.
-VD: Still.-
-HD: You're having those creepy Andrew thoughts again, and I know you're trying to make things worse for Marty now that Geno's set the bar higher.-
Worry about the creepy Andrew thoughts for now -- I'm still working on my prologue thing.
-TTV: Speaking of the prologue thing, when it's my turn, I want to watch "The Mask" as much as I want.-
Be my guest. I'm actually kind of in the mood for it myself.
-TTV: *grin* Can we watch tomorrow?-
Heh, we'll see -- tomorrow's football, don't forget. As for the rest of you --
-RPD: We've been handling the angst you dish out for a while now.-
-D: *nodnod* Besides, we know the villains get paid back more than enough.-
Yeah. Hell, with the new idea of skipping around in time as well as universes in the NaNo, you'll probably be able to beat up ALL of the worst of the worse -- Jack, Amina, Andrew -- should I throw Biff in there?
-DW: Why not, he is the canonical villian.-
-OD: *tentacles chatter* The kids have suggested Carlyle.-
Ooooo, that would be a good choice. Thanks kids.
-J: This is going to be the most complicated fic ever by the time we're done mapping it out.-
Tell me about it. But I think it's going to be a lot of fun too.
As for other fic, I'm gonna go ahead and post
darkjediprinces's Meme Fic, a BTTF/Dr. Who crossover starring Ten:
“So, how is the police box?”
“The police box is fine. How’s your DeLorean?”
“Good, good.”
“Still working on what passes for a chameleon circuit on Earth?”
“Yes, and though I’m working with what you might consider subpar materials, I’m sure mine will work a lot better than yours ever did.”
“I happen to like my TARDIS as a police box, thank you very much.”
“Even with people constantly mistaking it for a phone booth?”
“At least the inventor of the phone booth wasn’t indicted on drug charges.”
“John was acquitted! Besides, the DeLorean has far more style than the TARDIS.”
“It does not! You can barely fit two people in your time machine! Mine can fit however many people I want!”
“My initial time machine only ever needed to fit two people inside of it – three, at most! I have the train now for longer trips.”
“Yes, a flying steam train is going to be very inconspicious.”
“Just like a flying police call box. At least if I change the timeline, giant flying time lizards won’t come out to eat the universe.”
“No fair bringing up things that happened in my last incarnation. Besides, that only happened once.”
“True enough. You’ve also risked annihilating everything in the universe, dropped in on important past events for cheap tricks – and let’s not forget, your main enemies are giant salt shakers from outer space.”
“The Daleks are very dangerous!”
“They look ridiculous!”
“I’m not arguing that point, I’m just saying they’re not incompetent. And at least no one’s stolen my time machine recently.”
“I find that hard to believe.”
“You’re just upset that I’ve done more time traveling – and will do more time traveling – than you ever will.”
“You have a naturally longer lifespan than I do. Not all of us can come back from the dead – oh, wait.”
“Being saved via timeline changes doesn’t count!”
“Well, technically, neither do your regenerations!”
“You’re an inferior race! A cute inferior race, granted. . . .”
“And you’re a snob!”
“At least I talk in understandable English!”
“Really? Hey, look, it’s a spacio-spatial temporal hyperlink!”
“Hmm, I wonder if there’s a rhythmic ceremonial ritual behind it.”
Marty looked between the two arguing scientists. “They could be at this for hours,” he said to Martha. “Wanna grab a coffee while we’re waiting?”
“Sure.”
Sorry it's almost all dialogue, that's just how I invisioned it. This mostly comes from me wanting to hear the boys say those last two lines about the "spacio-spatial temporal hyperlink" and the "rhythmic ceremonial ritual."
-M2: Jesus, I can already see one of you guys and Gig's version of the Doctor doing this at the Inkwell.-
-VD: *grin* It's a temptation.-
Hope you like, Kat! *crosses fingers that she didn't screw up Doctor Ten too much*
Okay, now to try and get going on the last two of those, then do some work on "You Look Interesting." Probably do some more with the Overly Plotted Bunnies as well.
-VD2: At least you have that extra hour.-
Yay Daylight Savings!

Date: 2007-11-05 04:46 am (UTC)But the Doctor loves humans! He thinks they're the best thing ever! I could see the Master saying this, though.
I ship Marty/Rose, personally. She's like girl-Marty anyway, much more so than Martha is.

...I want to set up George and Jackie Tyler now. That'd be fun.
