#assorted wips

[jlilycorbie]

I still have no idea why fandom culture, and especially fanfic, passed me by. I went to my first con when I was 12. I've run green rooms. I should be all over it, but I'm just...not.

I passionately love books and movies and shows, but no matter what, I end up writing my own little things instead. Sometimes there are bits and pieces and inspirations from things I love in my work, but I've never really tried to set up my own stories in other people's worlds.

The exception is when a story makes me mad. When I get spun up about how some worldbuilding doesn't work or how some idea seems wasted, then I'll get into what could have been fanfic, but always spins off far enough to end up being my own thing.

I've got a backburnered cyberpunk WIP. It takes place in a future US that's no longer a world power, outside and inside an arcology. Some things in the world have gotten better, some have gotten worse. People can attend virtual school, which was theoretically designed to erase class differences between students, but it's not like kids haven't found countless ways to draw those lines between themselves anyway. The MC lives outside the arcology, and her dearest goal in life is to become a teacher so she can get a coveted place living comfortably inside the arcology. She doesn't know how crap life can be if you work in maintenance and live in the cramped maintenance levels, and she and her BFF, who's an agoraphobic kid who won't leave her bedroom in the arcology, accidentally uncover a terrorist plot to plant a bomb in the arcology and frame the maintenance worker's union in an attempt to both destroy the union and push through new legislation that would allow the corporate owners of the arcology to essentially turn all of the maintenance workers into indentured servants.

That story started while I was complaining about Ready Player One.

The underpinning for Magic School Dropouts is probably immediately obvious. Around 17 years ago, the MC and her BFF managed to escape the creepy magic school they'd joined. The MC's family had moved without telling her while she was in the boarding school, so she had to figure out how to live her life while fleeing the magic police who would track her down for what she'd done at the school. She and her BFF separated, and now she's gotten a message from her BFF's sister: her BFF was pregnant when they escaped from the school, and she died shortly after she had her daughter, who her older sister raised. Her older sister knew nothing about what happened to them in the school, so she didn't see anything wrong with sending her niece to the school. Except now she's gotten cryptic messages from her niece indicating she needs help. The MC is the only person the sister knows who went to the school and can maybe help, and while trying to figure out what to do, the MC learns there's a whole thriving magical culture that has nothing to do with the isolated school that preys on children born into normal families who don't know better.

And yeah, that came from many, many discussions about Harry Potter. Most of them before Rowling let the mask drop.

The Tom Cruise Mummy remake had me on a path toward some kind of story, but there were problematic elements I never managed to iron out enough to get a good plot together.

I guess when it comes down to it, when I love something, I'm happy to love it and enjoy what I've gotten from the original makers, and when I get mad about something, I go spinning off too far into the ether to write fanfic.

Also for wip weekend (im silly i got it wrong on the last one i think) June Writing 👀👀👀

Another snippet for Devi 💖 Until an hour ago my June Writing doc had three sentences in it 😅

Also, this is how bad my brain is. I start researching details for a fic and then get brainworms for something else. I went from looking for the price of a La-Z-Boy in 1985 to obsessing over the idea of the Harrington's getting a jacuzzi/hot tub.

“Your parents installed a jacuzzi?” “Yes!” Steve practically shrieks, his voice echoing through the store. Thank god Family Video is empty. Eddie pouts, his dimples indenting his cheeks as he runs a ring-adorned finger over the advertisement and circles the rounded edges of the jacuzzi. He then moves to trace the hairline of the handsome male figure in the picture, who has his arm around a pretty blonde and nursing a cocktail with his free hand. Steve rolls his eyes at the thought that such a fake and stupid picture could entice his parents into purchasing another outdoor accessory they will probably never use.

help me work on my wips this weekend

[redbean-nom]

wip dump, complete with sometimes-helpful sometimes-unhelpful file names

sith maul (in which he savage and feral actually get their new sith order thing off the ground and kill palpatine in son of dathomir)

domino rex (domino squad rex au. captain jesse has a headache already)

darth ezra (ezra as fully fallen/maul's apprentice. he summons giant sith alchemy type creatures to fight like some sort of evil pokemon trainer)

korkie flood (one of the less helpful file names. i don't know what this is supposed to be about but i think it was tumblr inspired. also apparently that's my design for adult korkie?)

admirals au (early version where the escaped clone/droid rebel army shows up to destroy the death star ahead of schedule at scarif)
