Planning Ahead

On release day for Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox back in February, I marked the occasion by adding to Imperceptible (an IY fanfic), which was one (very long) chapter shy of completion. Looking ahead to the release of Kimiko and the Accidental Proposal, I’ve been sifting through my options.

  • Affinity [IY x YYH crossover] is certainly the closest to an ending. I could probably wrap that up.
  • Tolerable [IY, Mir&Sess] is due for one more story arc before I’d call it finished.
  • NEW STUFF [various] because it’s hard to resist contributing to fandoms old and new. I have notes that could shape up rather quickly into a oneshot or short serial for … Naruto, Spirited Away, The Ancient Magus’s Bride, Natsume Yuujinchou, and a Mushishi crossover that I dare not even *try* to explain. It’s best just to let that one … happen. ::twinkle::

On a related note, I found outlined scenes for a Miroku x Kagome serial that I’d completely forgotten about. They’re my “official” OTP in the InuYasha fandom because that’s where I started. Nostalgia!

So … what freebie fic do you think I should play with? (Bearing in mind that I’ll be well into writing the third book in the Amaranthine Saga when Bk2 releases, so my time for fandom goofing will be limited.)

Details, Details…

One of the many (many, many) details I need in place before I can release Book 2 … is Book 3’s summary, which I’m writing now. And which makes me really (really, really) excited for release day because I am very (very, very) sure that my longtime readers are going to implode. In a good way. ::twinkle::

Current forecast for Bk2 – October-ish
(WHY is August almost over!)

 

Library Shelves

Did you know you can get Tsumiko and the Enslaved Fox on the bookshelf at your public library? Most city and county library websites include a place where you can request they add a book that’s not currently in their system. (Which means they’ll buy the book.) So far, two of you have mentioned to me that Tsumiko is now in their local library. Thanks for that! ::twinkle::
