So what now?
Posted: 2008-03-10 01:24am
As those of you following it know, I've almost completed my latest story Thousand Shinji, a Neon Genesis Evangelion/WH40k crossover.
This has pretty much been the first story I've completed.
So, now the question becomes what now? I'm at a bit of a loss really. Here, however, is a list of projects I wouldn't mind working on:
Thousand Shinji sequel. There's still room for stories in that timeline, but I'm a little burnt out at the moment, so while I probably will go back one day, I doubt it will be right away.
Valour and Mayhem sequel/reboot. I wrote myself into a bit of a corner, but I still love the character of Mosegi, so I am considering picking up his tale at a somewhat different point in time.
The Misfits continued. Pick up where I left off with those crazy Chaos followers who aren't quite as evil as their fellows and are ostracized for it.
Hellsing/WH40K crossover. This one was in the silly idea thread.
Berserk/WH40K crossover. Ditto as above.
Shadow of the Tyrant. I'll pick this story up again one day, but getting into the mood kind of requires summer weather, and right now there is still snow on the ground where I live.
However, right now I am somewhat in the mood to write something with an eye towards getting it published, which pretty much means an original work, not a fanfic. Now, Thousand Shinji was quite good for me in that I actually finished it, mostly because I had a plotline already created for me by Gainax to work with, so I didn't get lost with what to do next. So I have a slight suggestion to make.
As evidence by the unholy (*snicker*) activity in the Armaggedon??? thread, this site really gets in on collaboration with the right incentives. So if those of you out there would like, you could help me come up with a story and plot so that I don't get so lost. You wouldn't experience all the twists the same way, but the story would (hopefully) get done at some point. Part of my problem is that I am really good at coming up with settings and characters, but then I lose my way in the plot. So if you want, you could suggest some things to me and then I could create the first two. Then we come up with a basic plot outline: beginning, middle, end and all that jazz. Then as I'm writing, you can make suggestions as to how to get connect the various dots. I dunno, a bit of a complex idea, but I'm mostly brainstorming here.
So anyway, what you all like to read? Admittedly, I might just ignore you because I want to do something else, but I like getting feedback.
