Projects you're working on (or want to start)

Talk about projects either that you are currently working on, projects you've done, or even ideas you've had that you just haven't gotten around to starting yet.

For myself, I'm constantly writing and recording songs (though not quite as much in recent months). Things I want to start up though include a couple of web original series, including one focused on music (specifically, covers and covering), and another in which I recap and review all the issues of the Sonic The Hedgehog comic (more so for my own benefit than anything else, really, since I haven't read the series in a long time and I've been meaning to get back to it).

Additionally, I've been trying for a long time to start a band, but I can never find any drummers

I'm still working on my short story.

I don't think it needs to be said, but I'm writing things.

And stuff?

Yes. Can't forget the stuff.

Right now I'm focusing on my Na No Wri Mo project, but I'll go back to focusing on The Piratesverse and my Disney Princess liveblog series when I'm done. I'm also developing several other original stories.

I wrote a novella. But I'm my biggest critic and hated the fuck out of it. So I never got back writing.

Oh, and the plot was about alien invaders invading Spokane, Washington and some high school aged kids fighting them. But, shortly after I finished writing the story the Red Dawn remake (which is about Spokane, Washington getting invaded) was announced. So it looked like I ripped off the movie (I lived near Spokane at the time and just used the place I lived as the setting. It's not my fault the guy who wrote the movie happened to decide to set it in the same place at the same time)(hell, I might've had the idea first. It took me a while to put the idea to paper).

There's another project I've been thinking about, but I'm not going to say anything until it's something more than something I've just been thinking about.

I'm working on a song. It's pony related...well...technically it's changeling related but ponies happen to be involved.

Ouch, that's gotta be rough.

I haven't done digital painting in a long time. I should start a piece soon.

A rap album or ep has been on the backburner for me for a long time - I have a handful of unfinished beats I want to rap over and one that I actually have. Tentative Working Titles for the album include No Fate and Rapping Is Hard.

I have a Western with supernatural elements novel in the works, a random World War Z meets Resident Evil style zombie story going on in the background. Along with two fanfics, I've got my writing cut out for me.

I've also been helping my Dad, on and off, write some music for his band.

I'm doing a Reconstruction of Magical Girl tropes as a whole, and am so far in the process of writing how I want it to play out.

One major part of it will be how many ways individuals can be read, and while I have my own ways to read things, I purposefully want there to be as many interpretations for one character as I can make, as well as each character having their own ways to read things, which will be themselves re-interpretable.

And yes, I do intend for this to be as complex as I can make it without it being too much of a Mind Screw.

I still have my PEFE article on Alomomola to complete.

Hmm...Let's see. Well I'm still working Endless Conflict and have made some progress in recent. It's a military sci-fi epic detailing the war between the Terran-led Starlight Alliance and the Preyaran Lancer Corps. It's got a lot more to it than that.

A second project I'd like to get started on but my programming skills are less than superb is Alexandria a sci-fi FPS video game. The premise revolves around a conflict for the Amagasaki artifact between emergent humans of the Sol Protectorate, the "heirs" to the Amagasaki in the Arkanian Coalition and its allies, and the fearsome unified forces of the Trocas Machine Empire on the Planet of Galactic Peace known as Utopia. The artifact itself gives the game its title as it's believed to be the central library where the Amagasaki recorded all the knowledge in the Universe. Gameplay-wise I've chosen a composite route of playstyle between the Call Of Duty and Battlefield style shooters and Halo. Also, the playable character is a girl.

I'm finishing up a Short Story

For the most part it's a run-of-the-mill Whodunnit,which I just wrote because I wanted to re-use the main character again and wanted to see if I could still write mystery. A Lazy Bum noir-pastiche of a detective solves a murder a cyclist who was about to race in the citywide cycling race.

I've also put on hold a big novel I started,I had fifty pages or so. It was pretty much about 4 kids that end up in a Narnia-like place ruled by giant cats and of course they bond with cats of a random town,they gain magical powers,and then go on to face villains of many kinds. Honestly it was originally gonna be a Digimon fanfic with a Broad Strokes approach to the five seasons,but I wanted to see what would happen if I used an original setting first. I'll try to get back to it next Summer.

I'm probably gonna expand my second Short Story this semester for the Novella next semester,which is sort of a Prequel to how Terlwyth became forced to be on the run. I had 3500 words and still had couldn't really get the characters developed,then I got in 16 pages so I wouldn't be too horribly docked.

And finally,I'm updating my Grinch parody for Christmas.

I want to write a Kamen Rider-esque story where the hero is a girl, in fact the alpha girl at her high school. She has to grow from self-centered and lazy when it comes to her duties*, to a true hero. Sadly, while I have the character worked out, I haven't gotten a plot planned out.

• The one story I have plotted out is one where she feels her wrist-mounted Transformation Trinket is attracting strange looks from the other popular kids, and leaves it behind one day, just as a monster starts wrecking town.

I just came up with a funny idea for a web series; the (completely nonsensical) daily lives and secret activities of Hollywood moguls. Spielberg would be like God and keep them all in line, and...that's all I've got so far. Oh, and Uwe Boll keeps trying to join their plans and is subsequently threatened with vaporization.

Can we have Martin Scorsese as leader of a gang, referred to as Don Don de Don Don?

Trying to get a webcomic started, still practicing my art skills until I feel they're up to par.

No idea how to do the interwebs bit though, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it

Quite a mouthful. What do his friends call him?

Me too. Too bad I still suck at drawing legs and making them proportional to the rest of the body.

I'm figuring out the interwebs.

I'm translating the German musical Tanz Der Vampire. I did most of the translations in two weeks, but making that into subtitle tracks so other people can enjoy it is a long and painful process for which I have no regular schedule. That's what I've done so far.

One of the really big projects I've wanted to start doing for a while is a GCS (Game Creation System) for Apple II series computers which allows one to create games similar to Warren Robinett's Adventure for the Atari VCS or The Learning Company's Robot Odyssey. I'm envisioning something with a complexity similar to RSD Game Maker or Puzzle Script. Mostly I just want to throw it out there and see the ways people utilize those games' basic framework.

Been working on a Quest(Quest 64, Eletale Monsters, etc.) Wiki. But it's very difficult due to formatting, and my favorite part, putting up correct name translations. Since two games were released in the European region with multiple versions because of different Languages(I can't remember which ones, but I know Germany is one of them. I think France too?), so you can see how this'll take forever.

That's not counting the equally as hard parts, like monsters that are remade with different stats or whatnot.

Main project: Trying to get myself to actually work on all my other projects
