Can I get Jack White to Give me a Riff?

I just don't know what to do with myself (duh-duh-duh!)

So I have four word documents open right now. 

The first one is Motherfucking Pirates, and slightly stalled out, in and of the fact that the five man band needs a fifth man, and I am coming up totally short on who that should be.  Initially, it was going to be the ghost that Gem chased gone all heel-facey, but I'm not sure I want her to be a protagonist so much as a background character that comes in later.  That said, I have a little time, everyone is still in hell.

The second one is "Live Arcade" which needs a little more kicking around.  I am hoping someone who is more of a video gamer than me can take a look at it and let me know if I did right by them, as returns are coming back from non-gamers and I'm absolutely not reaching any of them.  Not a big worry, just not sure what to do with or about it.  Also, Murr Potter and Sooney-Crow deserve to be real people, not video game characters, even if their story is STALLED FOREVER.

The third one is "Hopseed and Peppercorn" which is a troll story.  I am hitting the scene that I know least about, where the elder troll who might be getting troll-senile just accidentally caused the younger troll to turn human, and I'm not sure how the younger troll (or his human protege) is going to react to the transformation.  Or what kind of human the younger troll got turned into.

The fourth one is "Draftyhouse" about a Byronic space program, and a drafty mansion on the moon.  With space ghosts.  I have the house set up, and the main character, now watching the house on his own, having just met the ghosts.  There will be displacement, colonial shenanigans and an unthinkable weapon.  I just have to get it there.

I need to knock at least one of these off without neglecting the others.  I am thinking just letting "Live Arcade" sit, since it's actually done and not going anywhere.  Next, some Drafty and some Pirates, because there is something I can do with each of those while I figure out what's happening to the trolls.  Good.  It's a plan.  Thank you LJ, I would never have gotten this far without writing this shit down.
