Re: Writing Thread

[badass_tiger]

I have a question: what do you guys do when you have more than one plot-bunny for a major story going on? Do you alternate between writing them or do you put them aside and hope you'll still find them interesting after you've finished your current project?

I've never written anything except fanfiction before so I'm excited that I can come up with ideas for original stuff, but I have the attention span of a kitten and being able to concentrate on just one novel-length story is quite the feat for me.

Re: Writing Thread

Depends on how serious I am about writing any of my ideas. I always have a ton of ideas competing for attention. If one is really exciting to me at the time, I tend to focus on just that one until it's done. Otherwise, I alternate between a few that caught my attention until one sort of breaks out from the pack and it becomes one that I want to focus on alone.

I alternate. I have four half-written chapters for this one fic that is a collection of connected one-shots. And I've turned my focus onto things for fandom stocking and some drabble requests and this one other pet project I'm working on. I know I'll come back to that one fic because it is an idea I'm really excited about and have a long list of possible chapters. I'm just focusing on other things at the moment.

Re: Writing Thread

I go crazy, mostly. :P I have probably a dozen different ideas that I've had over the past few years, and I have a document for each of them with general info about the characters/world, or at most a few pages of story. But then I'll think of something new and start over. The frustrating thing is that most of them are incredibly similar, just with sliiiiiiiight variations, but instead of trying to work them into the current story (or pick one direction and go with it) and maybe actually finish something for once, they'll become a new one and I never get anything done.

I think at some point I need to sit down and plan out the different elements I want it to have, see if there's anything I've written thus far that I want to incorporate, and go from there. Because "these two are the exact same except in this version MC and SO got together in X way and in that version they got together in Y way" or "they're the same except the main couple has kids in this version and they don't in that version" is just annoying.

For things that are vastly different, though, I'd probably focus on whatever one interested me most at the moment, and put the other(s) aside.

Re: Writing Thread

I generally nail whatever details come to me while the inspiration is fresh (, description of fic, key scenes or snips of dialog or whatever else), and then set it aside if I was in the middle of working on something else. (I am easily distracted by New and Shiny, but I also hate having unfnished pieces.)
