current projects

In case anyone is curious:

fantasy story
I've been doing world building on the fantasy story I first started when I was 13. There was a time when I thought I should have pushed the story out sooner so I could have fully finalized it when I was young, but since then I'm glad I waited. The world has been growing steadily more detailed and intricate, and it's been making me excited to write it.

I've always loved doing complicated plots, and I love the idea of leaving details in a story that people only notice later in rereading. And god knows I love torturing my characters. (lol sorry guys. I hear the beginning of Fade was especially hard on some people XD And let me tell you, I look forward to doing some evil in my future books, too <3)

I'm going to have fun being able to write whatever way the story (honestly, probably series) needs to go while also exploring the nooks and crannies of some characters who have been with me for nearly 2/3 my life. Although, truth be told, my favorite characters were only created 10 or fewer years ago.

And thanks to the lovely Lena, my world map is getting some help too!

Incidentally, the fantasy series also has some LGBT themes although it won't be the focus.

I wish I could do an excerpt but I don't feel like anything can be released at the moment, especially at this early of a stage. That's the part that sucks the most about going for publication. I feel like I can't share things as I go, but sharing things is what keeps me enthusiastic when I start to lose focus.

Anyway, I don't have a timeline on this but I've been trying to work on the background.


lesbian cop story
Currently stalled until I can do more research.


Any ICoS-related items
Also stalled, mostly because I really want to try working on a solo project first. But we all know how inspiration can hit out of nowhere, so I'm definitely not now (or any time in the future) striking all options off my list of possibilities.


The Memory Remains
This is a story I actually wrote around 6 years ago and recently have been editing/revising. There are some pieces of it that are too embarrassing for words, but I think the basis of it is interesting, and there are some ideas I want to use. However, I stopped editing it when I realized skimming past all that magic was getting me interested in writing my main fantasy story instead.


Other assorted stories
There's another story that I think would be fun to write that has LGBT themes and involves lots of magic and dark energy and things getting fucked up. I have not yet decided whether I want to keep this as its own thing or merge it with TMR into a larger, more complex story. Their worlds complement each other nicely so it's a definite possibility.

I'm pretty sure there are other stories I've mentioned at some point and forgotten, too.


blah!
I have nothing else to add, I just felt like this needed another heading.
