The writing period for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
hardmode is starting very soon. I probably won't sign up until near the end, since I need to be sure I have enough to write to actually do this.
So, let's see. What ideas should I try to do this year? (This is made even more difficult by the fact that I can't seem to find my flash drive, the one with all of my unfinished fics on it. And I lost it just before getting the laptop, too. I was planning to transfer everything onto this thing.)
Oh well. If I have to start from scratch, I have to start from scratch. So, leaving out the same ideas that I had last year (here,) most of which are still under consideration for this year, I... don't have that much, honestly.
I have the World of Warcraft idea, which involves two death knights running around Azeroth after Deathwing's escape and finding out that a lot of things have changed. (It's mostly an excuse to come up with meta about goblin DKs and tauren paladins, actually.) Thing is, I have two ideas for these two, neither will reach 10K on its own (or will they? I never know) and putting both in the same fic feels a bit stilted. Ah, well.
There are also a couple for FFVIII that I'd still like to finish - one is pretty much extended blue magic meta involving ancient ceremonies and modern-day laboratory tests, and the other is an idea I've had for years about Quistis's field test for SeeD, and her being in a squad with Fujin for her test. I'm at least pretty sure both of those would reach the word limit.
Oh, and there's one for FFIV - the one where Kain's attempt to return to Baron sparks a civil war between Cecil and the lords loyal to him, and other nobles who don't like the new king's radical policies and who use his regard for a known traitor to start the war. Kain has to find something that he can do about it, even though he's in captivity.
...meh. It's not that I don't have ideas, just that I don't know how many of these ideas are going to last me that long. I should try to do some test runs.
