What I Like About the Story: The family drama. Although I have not written the full story yet, I'm really looking forward to writing out the strain relationship between Hermione and Lois.

Current Fic Word Count: 5,367 new
Type: (gen, het, slash) Gen with hints of both het and slash
What I Like About the Story: It has a beginning and an end and the overall shape of it feels right for what it is (post Children of Earth non-fixit fic in a crossover AU).
What I Don’t Like About the Story: The middle needs a lot more work! I know where these people are going but I wish they'd be a little more forthcoming about how they get there. Bloody muses.
Anything Else: RL is a bitch. I work a lot of night shifts and am often just too tired to write.

Date: 2013-05-11 04:43 am (UTC)Crossover: Hawaii 5-0/NCIS (fused with Star Trek)
Current Fic Word Count: 0
Type: slash & gen
What I Like About the Story: I know where it's going to go and I feel like I've grown a lot as a writer since last year so it'll be good
What I Don’t Like About the Story: Getting each character enough screen time
Anything Else: Frankly, I'm just not sure if this is meant to be one massive story or a whole bunch of little stories, because I'm so concerned with seeing each character and each relationship in this universe. There's a good chance I'll put this aside and do a Star Trek/Harry Potter that I've been thinking about.
