Blogging

I am absolutely loving my InsaneJournal backup. In between stories, I'm posting a few musings here and there. It really feels like a professional blog, even though of course it's not. But I think weaning myself off of emoticons has really improved my non-fiction writing and made me more proud of myself. The InsaneJournal feels more ... grown-up, somehow.

Since the fics I plan to post are all Monkees fics, I'm using my Kolchak icons for most of the musing posts. Of course, if websites keep breaking, I may decide I need backups of everything. I couldn't get into FF.net tonight, either. Although the site was working; I just couldn't log in.

Now if I just knew where to go to find a nice nest of Kolchak fans....

Aurgh!

Apparently the reason for the lack of reviews on chapter 2 of the Kolchak/YGO fic must be that FF.net crashed again. I'm not the only one who couldn't log in yesterday. Why do I always end up posting things right before the place has a heart attack?

I've just finished chapter 4, but I'm not sure when I'll post chapter 3 (even after I can log back in), since I was hoping for some review on chapter 2 first. Tentatively, I think the rest of the plot might fill three or four more chapters. I'm really excited to get it all down. It's going to turn out different than what I had originally envisioned for the latter part, but the more I've thought about it the more I know that this new way is right.

After I write it, it's on to a Kolchak prompt Kaze came up with. I can't quote it off the top of my head, but it's for the next monster Kolchak is chasing to be himself. That could be interpreted in a myriad of ways, and I think I came up with a doozey.

I've also started the Daniel Boone fic. It takes place shortly after the end of the Spanish Horse episode. Whipper is monologuing. I figure that's a good way to get a feel for the character before the action starts happening.
