superhero_muses--How many unfinished works do you have going right now?
*pokes around Google Docs*
Looks like three: a vampire fic, a semi-nonfiction history of a semi-fictional character, and a three-person celebratory sex scene with a fourth person watching (consensually all around).
I'm starting to poke at the idea of a "pretend relationship" story where Clark and Bruce have to pretend to be newlyweds in the suburbs, but I have yet to be able to put together a plot framework for that yet, so it's still languishing a bit.
Really, nothing's happening elsewhere in my head until I finish up the second piece, the history. And then I'm going to need a couple of days to just cry. 50,000 words, two years, a staggering amount of research--I'm as proud of it as I am of my doctoral thesis. Maybe more so, because there's so much more of me in it. It's going to take a little while to recover from that.
I hope your writing is going well, that you're having fun, and that all your WiPs are inspiring!

Date: 2019-05-19 06:32 am (UTC)I wish I could! D: I dunno, the movies having a fairly big age difference and the comics dwelling SO much on Clark and Bruce's kids just worked together to destroy my mojo, I'm so sad about it...
(Though since they've recast Bruce as Robert Patterson, if they put him with Cavill's Clark I might find it easier to write again! *looks hopeful* Orrrrr he could be Dick Grayson as Batman, which would be wonderful to see, but nothing I'd want to write...)
