A note to self post.

I am super duper def blow out crazy busy at the moment, which means I cannot write as much as I want/need/require. Thusly I have backlog of ideas I haven't been able to process.

Normally I'm pretty good about knowing what stories I want to write, you know, since I *want* to write them and there only tend to be two or three really sticky ones at any given time. At the moment, however, I've taken to post-its and comments in other people's LJs (Sorry, Q!)to keep track and I just can't carry on like that. So, for my own edification:

1. Forever is a Mighty Long Time. Reincarnation!Merlin. Summary: You always know where you stand with walls. The same cannot be said for people. People are born, they live, they die. Walls, at least for a proper building, they don't move. You don't have to wait for them to come back.

2. Get Some. GK HS AU. I believe [livejournal.com profile] thisisbone is responsible for this title. Hey, it only took me three months to capitulate. Some people have to work me for YEARS to get what they want.

3. Boys in Lust and Stupidity: a Story in Spring Time. Merlin. The title is pretty self explanatory. And there will be sex. Copious amounts of it. And also allergies. And possibly flowers in somebody's hair, I dunno yet.

4. I'll Put Us Back Together at Heart. Merlin AU. Merlin as the prince of Camelot, Arthur is his manservant. Yes, that title came to me today when I was listening to the 80s station, because I am an 80s baby and if you're too young to know where it comes from, please don't tell me.

Oh god, my head hurts just looking at this list. Dear Buddha, please do not let all of these be more than 100 pages combined. I know, I laugh at me too, but if I could get just one of these to beta, by like, next week Friday (no, not that GK one, that's a real project), that would be fucking AWESOME.

I would love to be able to sit down and work on one of these, but writing this post is the most time I've had to write all week, which you know, DAMN! The Reincarnation one has been waiting the longest. Okay, that's not true, people have been haranguing me about the GK AU one for three months. Have you see it yet, it's airing on FX on Sunday's on your side of the pond, just saying. Um, right. I think the spring one will be the most fun, but the Prince!Merlin AU one could end up eating me whole, so I'm trying to put a cap on it. That was prolly want too much info for you, huh? As you can see I'm in a bit of a bind.

Also, I wrote Arthur as a movie star! Did you read it? It was awesome. It had Ari. I'm just saying :D

Ooh, no I haven't seen that! Now that I've given in to Merlin, I must go back through your posts to see what I've missed *g*

I haven't written a lot of stories comparatively speaking (I've only been in fandom two months and turned out five), but I've really enjoyed what I've done. And the crack. Oh, the sweet crack. I turned Arthur into a baby dragon! Yes, really :D
