Story Plans?

[mountaingirl777]

So, what completed stories have you written? Can be HP or other fandoms

What stories do you have in the works?

What are your future stories (if you have any)?

I've written a few one shots: Love (Camp Rock Fandom, don't ask) and Dealing With Pain (Harry Potter)

I have my RtB "Book of Assurance" and " Another Malfoy Manor" in the works

I'm thinking of doing a crossover between Harry Potter and Halloweentown. Marnie Pipper and her brother go to hogwarts at their grandmother's request. I'm also thinking about doing an RtB of Chronicles of Narnia, but I don't really know how to start it. If anyone is interesting in helping me with this, I will take it!

[jessieanneh2]

I'm really bad at completing stories! Darn Nargles steal my muses!

I just started a BTVS/Twilight Crossover, with Buffy and Bella as Cousins on Buffy's mothers side. It is called Bella Stands up for herself www.fanfiction.net/s/8263335/1/Bella_Stands_Up_For_Herself

It will pair Bella/Jacob though

many others I am tinkering with

[Dimcairien]

For completed stories I've finished:
BFTF 1-5
Third Generation Goes Back (a time travel story involving Teddy and Victoire's children)
Several one shots (The Destruction of Gryffindor Tower, A Run-In with a Certain Dog, Draco's Animagus, Herbert's Problem, A Weasley Seer? (this one might eventually become a two-shot)).

My partially written stories that are on ff,net include:
Healing the Broken Hearts
BFTF 6
Why Sherlock Doesn't Know about the Universe (this will be a two or three chapter story)
Another Generation Affected By War (An Anne of Green Gables story that takes place during WWII. It's a re-write of an older story)

And as for stories in the planning process, I currently am writing/drafting two. The sequel to Healing the Broken Hearts and a story about Molly Weasley II.

[Trilonias]

No completed stories... but I do have several I'm working on! Two of which I actually have posted on FF.net!
The Secrets of Salazar Slytherin: Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley, married in the Chamber of Secrets, have come to realize that life isn't easy. It's not enough to face Lord Voldemort, but just why did Salazar create the Chamber? What was his purpose in marrying the two? And how many secrets can a chamber hold anyway?
The Sealing of Naruto: Hinata Hyuuga may be shy, but she certainly knew what she wanted. And when a book came to her telling her exactly how to get it, her fate was meshed with Naruto's. Too bad no one told them about the Kyuubi. Or of Naruto's heritage. Or anything else important, really.
Untitled Harry Potter Story 1: When Dumbledore mentioned how music had a power all its own, no one really suspected just how much that would affect them. That is until Yule Ball, and the appearance of a band other than the Weird Sisters. Secrets of the future and past are revealed, and nothing will ever be the same again.
Untitled Harry Potter Story 2: Everyone knew how Harry Potter was a hero when he defeated the Dark Lord at age 1. But no one really thought about him needing rescue, not till Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood proceeded to do just that.
Untitled Harry Potter Story 3: When wizards meddle in the affairs of Death, Death meddled in the affairs of wizards.
Untitled Harry Potter Story 4: After the defeat of Riddle and the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, Harry and Ginny ended up stuck down there for over a year. How much can change in such a time?

I was also thinking of doing my own RtB story... but I kinda also wanted to include certain fanfics to be read as well... *shrugs* Oh yeah, and all my HP stories are Harry/Ginny at least and Naruto is Naruto/Hinata.

[Kitty279]

Nothing published yet, but trying to write something that starts with the DoM debacle - but it's not Sirius who falls through the Veil. In the process, he's finally freed, takes over training Harry and a few others and finds out a lot about all the stuff Dumbledore would rather have kept *very* secret. He's finding a few allies to work against Voldemort.

Then there's a RtB story with a friend, but as our muses are galliavanting somewhere else, not sure what is going to happen with that one.

[sherza]

I've got three completed stories and four WIP's. Fair warning: Dumbledore is always either manipulative or straight up evil (to varying degrees) in my fics. And usually gets bashed. Because I hate the bastard.

Over at Potions and Snitches, I've got
Harry Potter and The Different Path

This one is a Guardian Severus fic, where Severus realizes Harry's been abused very shortly after his arrival at Hogwarts and gets proactive about fixing things. This fic covers Harry's first year. I have an incomplete start to second year as well.

Over on FF.net, I've got

HP/BtVS crossover: White Knights and Dark Lords

This one is a fast-paced, stomp-the-baddies fic. Features 3-years-post Sunnydale Xander and Spike as friends, and post-Triwiz Harry and company. There is an incomplete start of a sequel, as well, which hasn't been posted.

Pure HP: Harry Potter and The Fate We Make

This fic starts just after the meeting with Fudge, Dumbledore, and Snape after the Third Task, and features an intelligent, independent, capable Harry.

My WIP's

Different Path: Chamber of Secrets

Council and Ministry (Sequel to White Knights and Dark Lords)

BtVS/SG-1/Sentine (TV show) crossover: Weirdness is Genetic

This story is ... a bit tangled. The timing is thus: Summer after Season 1 for BtVS, just after the Season 2episode 'Flight' for Sentinel, and a couple months after Season 7 episode 'Fragile Balance' for SG-1. Just pretend it works *grin*

See, Tony isn't Xander's real dad. Jessica was dating Jim Ellison when he was in the Army. He got shipped out and they broke up ... and she found out she was pregnant. Moved to Sunnydale and married Tony.

During the summer after Season 1, Xander gets jumped by demons and hauled to L.A., where Jim and Blair are landing after having rescued Simon and Darryl from Peru. Xander escapes, badly injured, and Jim finds him, then finds out from Jessica (when she shows up at the hospital the next day) that Xander's his.

Meantime, over in Colorado, Jon O'Neill (Jack's clone) is having ... issues ... with his senses.

Let the fun and games begin.

Pure HP: Families and Familiars

Hogwarts is alive and sentient. There is a difference between 'pets' and 'familiars', and Harry Potter is not the broken, defeated, malleable pawn in the books. Sirius is intelligent, loyal, protective as hell, and viciously vindictive to enemies. Severus Snape is not what everyone thinks he is ...

These and more interesting tidbits are going to make Harry's Hogwarts years ... very interesting.

Features a Hermione whose worst personality traits are blunted, making her still recognizable as Hermione but livable. Features a Ron who's gotten a sharp smack upside the head. So did Percy.

Has a definite political slant to it, with intrigues and maneuvering ALL over the dang place.

[Ithiarel]

Wow, sherza. That's an impressive list.

I've no finished stories either. But I am currently writing "The Founders at Hogwarts" which is my first RtB-fic, and my first HP fic, AND my first fanfic.

Before that I have written poems and a few short stories - but all of them original fiction.

Right now, I'm plotting an original Western story premised on a bet to transport a Riverboat from St. Louis into the middle of the New Mexico desert... *no joke!* *seriously!*

[sherza]

What's scary? Is that I've been writing fanfiction for less than a year and a half ... and all my finished stories are 60k or more. For that matter, I wrote the original version of White Knights and Dark Lords in 16 days ... and it came out at 81k. I'm still trying to figure out how I managed that one. *laugh*.

All told, I've written roughly in the neighborhood of 500k in the last year and four months. *boggle*

That is... that is...
Wow.
Words fail me to describe how awesome that is. So, I'm just gonna say it really really loud. Okay?
AWESOME!!!!!

I wish, I could do that. But somehow, my "inner editor" always holds me back. *sigh*
I'm happy if I can manage to write 2k in a week (!). *double sigh*

WOW. I'm speechless! That's a lot, and I know the quality was rather high, too.

[blackroses77]

I haven't written anything yet. I've made up dozens of stories in my mind but I get half way through them and I hit a road block. That has always been my problem though even when I have tried to write original fiction, I can just never get past the middle. I really do want to write a RtB fic and think it would make a good first story for me. It's something I can actually see myself finishing but I don't just want it to be comments and reactions I want there to be an actual plot outside the book reading, I just don't know what I want that plot to be yet.

[Kitty279]

These are tricky as well - it looks easier than it is. At least when you want to do more than the "standard comment". We've tried it, and it did cost us a lot of time and thought. And we are still stuck.

[sherza]

*laughs* Yeah, it is a lot.

Evidently, I do not comprehend 'short' when it comes to stories. *snicker* Especially considering that Families and Familiars is already longer than two of JKR's books, and within 1k of a third ... and I'm only about three-quarters of the way through Harry's first year. *snerk*

And I went and tallied up, and I actually have 413k words written online, all told.

This does not include in-progress chapters, the Queen and Dursleys RtB, or the story snippets I've written in the last year and four months.

[Kitty279]

*bows in admiration*

That gives me hope that you can finish both - Families and Familiars AND this new RtB, because I want updates for both. Just wish I could write that fast ...

[sherza]

My muse is actually beginning to resurrect, so yeah ... things are going to pick up. Just, there for a while, I couldn't get it to cooperate. This forum's actually helped quite a bit with the recovery, too.

[Kitty279]

Not so surprising, probably. With all the ideas thrown around all over the place, you are bound to get new ideas you want to try out or that might fit with what you have written already.

[Silvertongue]

Those numbers remind me of how much Lomonaaeren manages to write. She has 229 fics and they're all freaking long! That is from 2007 but she updates at least once a week and each chapter is usual at least 4,000 words.

[sherza]

Most of my fics, I have just over 2k words per chapter, averaged out. The exception is Families and Familiars ... there, I'm averaging 5k words a chapter *eyes it*.

229 fics? Good god almighty ... yeah, that's never happening with me. I've got my six, and ... yeah. The RtB, and *maybe* one other potential fic once I'm down to one or two WIP's, 'cause I got an idea for a Severus-and-Lily story. No, not them as a couple. Just Severus making slightly different choices, and being both Lily's friend/protector and the ruthless, vicious, vengeful bastard he is. Has the potential to be rather epic, if I can get anything more coherent out of my muse than 'Severus kicks Voldemort's ass nine ways from Sunday and the Prophecy never even happens'.

I'm calling it 'Lily's Dragon' ... if that gives you *any* kind of idea where my brain is going with that idea. And got part of a first chapter (VERY rough).

[Ithiarel]

*snort*
I think I've just written the longest piece of text all month right here on the board. An analysis of the plot structure of Star Wars... Go figure.
This probably tells me something about my writing habits...
If only I could understand what.

[mountaingirl777]

Unless it is a RtB, I can barely go above 1,000. I might get 2,000 but that is it.

[Silvertongue]

I'm the same. 2,000 is my limit and it really bugs me.

Yeah, Lomonaaeren is kind of epic. Most of those are Drarry too. I think there might be a couple Snarry and maybe a Lily/James? And they're pretty original plots too, or at least written so that they feel original.

[mountaingirl777]

I just noticed that I put "Another Malfoy Manor"....it should be "A Different Shell Cottage". I had switched the name when I posted it on FFN, but I didn't change it in my doc.

[Miss Wings]

i have a plan in mind but i'm not sure people will like it at all..

[Silvertongue]

Well tell us and see?

aw come on, tell us.

[Miss Wings]

The below is a message to our dear friend Pinky who is helping me with my Family & Life fic. I had a thought about it last night and I realized that JK was very close to making WW2 a repeat with the muggle round up. I don't want to offend anyone though so I'm not sure I should do it.
Apologies if your jewish

So here's the main points:-

1. Find a way to stop the war!
2. Read with Royals still.
3. Hermione could be part jewish- history repeats with VoldieMoldie?
4. Harry paired with someone else? Maybe Susan? Have Amelia read the books aswell.
5. DO NOT READ EPILOGUE!!!!!! Or change people and names...
6. Have better reactions to things.
7. Destory Snape- STALKER ALERT...
8. Destroy Dumbles Reputation!!
9. Make Wizarding World clean up their act within 1 month or they become part of the Commonwealth with Harry Ruling..?
10. Mention the similarities between Jew/Muggle roundup?

[Miss Wings]

i said no one would like it

[gottabekiddinme]

Posted on ff.net:

for HP: Emerald Green, The Difference. Both about non-evil Slytherins (because we DO exist!)
Peace Treaty: Book One is still up so far.

for Avengers: A Pair of Lonely Ones (Loki meets up with an old friend)

Planned: HP:

Complete the Peace Treaty series, then a follow up in which they change the future.

Filthy Little Mudblood: A muggleborn in Harry's year is sorted into Slytherin and goes through everything with him.

Potterwatch: A friend of the twins gets involved with the radio show.

Back of Your Mind: Vignettes of Percy and Penelope's relationship.

Clever Enough: follow up to The Difference

10 Things Ginny Hates about Harry

10 Things Hermione Hates about Ron

4 Times a Time Turner Would Have Come in Handy

Hold On Tight: James' sister and Snape raise Harry together.

Wit beyond Measure: Lily's Ravenclaw cousin comes for Harry at the beginning of third year. I really want to write this OC giving Aunt Marge a verbal smackdown.

Toying with the idea of a fic about a reader getting thrown to 1981 in the HP-verse, but not sure if I can write it well enough for it not to be annoying. Mostly what I get for HP ideas are titles, no plot to go with them!

Good Omens: Sauntering (two chapters, Vaguely Downwards and Vaguely Upwards).

Avengers:
Mama Bear: Somebody's mother (not telling whose) shows up during the battle.

Untitled: Tony and Bruce get a new lab assistant.

Crossovers:
HP/Sherlock: Dumbledore takes Harry to his mother's cousin John instead of Petunia.

Avengers/Justice League: I just really want to write Tony and Batman dealing with each other.


OCs....OCs everywhere....

I also saw the similarities of WW2 and HP and put it in my story "A Different Shell Cottage", I used it to help explain what was going on, like a reintroduction on what was happening but in a different style.

[Serena R. Snape]

I have a few finished stories: HP fandom - My Guardian Angel, The Werewolf Cub: Prologue, Arielle Potter: Book Two, Ron Bashing, and Hoping For a Better Future Book One (a RtB story). Then there's Slow Life from the Twilight fandom, Xardas's Story from the Gothic fandom, and Butterfly Fly Away from CSI: Miami fandom.

I have quite a few unfinished stories as well, where I either lost interest for a while or lost my muse but do intend to finish them sometime: HP Fandom - Arielle Potter: Book Two, and from Dragon Age fandom are The Strength Inside Me and Alistair Drabbles.

For now I have plans to start writing the Hoping For a Better Future Book Two story soonish. And I'm thinking of writing a few Mass Effect one-shots.
