#chapter outline

[collegetennisoriginstory]

Hi Allie, do you still have 10 chapters planned for CT:OS, and does that include the prologue (+ an epilogue if there will be one)? I tried searching for the answer but Tumblr search didn't come up with much except a post from a year ago, so I wasn't sure if your answer was still the same.

Ah you're right I should do an updated detailed post on ko-fi/tumblr soon, maybe after i finish the extra G scene.

But here's my general updated plan/outline:

Chap 6:

3 weeks leading up to the doubles tournament, slightly more condensed/short and sharp, with midterms and matches. I think it'll be a good switch up in pace to see your MC in their routine/settling unto life at Cargill (and living the consequences of previous choices).

G hang out scene

Convo / commitment to Tobin, Rayyan, G if not yet committed to Sam or Tobin

Chap 7

NCAO Doubles Championships (bus ride, hotel stay, big match)

See Sam briefly!

Chap 8:

Big match

Thanksgiving/fall break (G can be invited home, Sam will be home too)

Prep for the photography exhibition if in the club (+group project sesh w G)

Chap 9:

Finals week

Winter break (short vignettes of visiting either Rayyan/Tobin/G or chilling back home with Sam)

Back to school & chance to overtake Deepal or Tobin for No. 2 or 3 on the line-up

Chap 10:

Big match (potential injury)

Some snow day shenanigans

Chap 11:

Thinking of moving the Sam UCLA visit here - havent quite sorted this part out yet

Chap 12:

Another time skip, midterms

Some spring break shenanigans

Match that decides conference standings / whether Cargill makes it to round of 16 in the NCAO championships

Chap 13:

Quarter finals NCAO championship match

Finals week

"The talk" with G if romanced

Chap 14:

Travel for semis and finals

Championship Matches(!) Including Sam, and G (if romanced)

Epilogue

Athletes' dinner/banquet after (with awards & speeches)

Vignette of summer break

I'm really going to have to tighten up the writing and start WRITING LESS.

CHAPTER 2 of NAME A GAME TO PLAY IS OUT!!!!

Spoiler:

With an alert flashing on the screen, the brunette opened the eyes he hadn't even realized he had closed and they separated with Max giving two short kisses before.

Twenty seconds.

"Ready?", Charles asked.

"Yes"

Fifteen seconds.

"And you?", Max returned.

"Yes"

Ten seconds.

With Max beside him, Charles looked at the webcam positioned above the computer monitor, the last five seconds flashing on the screen before the broadcast turned on with a red stripe next to it signaling that it was online, showing an image of them.

The last twelve chapters of "A Beacon of Hope" have been outlined. Which ends the chapter outline portion of my writing process for this longfic. The next step in my writing process for this longfic will be the scene plot outline beat sheet.

I've already done the work figuring out how long this story is going to be and how many scenes I'll need to outline.

First Act (100,000 x.25) = about 25,000 words

Second Act (100,000 x.50) = about 50,000 words

Third Act (100,000 x.25) = about 25,000 words

Now that each act has been broken down by the word count target, it's time to break down the three acts into scenes.

First Act (25,000 words / 1,500 word scenes) = about 20 scenes

Second Act (50,000 words / 1,500 word scenes) = about 30 scenes

Third Act (25,000 words / 1,500 word scenes) = about 20 scenes

This is just a rough sketch of what I need to accomplish since I've got all the chapters outlined and ready. This scsne outline is the third most important thing in my process, with characters and places being the first and second priority once this is out of the way.

Writing Assignment #3: Outline your novel! 

Are you ready to outline your novel? Follow these steps to begin!

If you’ve been following my blog the past couple of weeks, you’ve probably learned a lot about novel structure and how to outline an idea as part of the planning stage of the novel writing process. You may be wondering, what now, brown cow? Well, I hope you have a lot of notes and ideas at the ready because it is finally time to outline your novel! Image generated using artificial…

Chapter 11 outline ideas (WIP)

chapter 10 ends with starscream incredulously asking skyfire if he's lost his mind for even suggesting that he work with them

so now it's back to the decepticons!

checking in on the new seeker trio (slipstream, hotlink, and bitstream)

bitstream is currently plugged into a computer from the back (cortical psychic patch style). his eyes are literally static and he's begun to drool.

slipstream walks in and is disgusted by bitstream (also disturbed because none of his basic systems are online either. it's creepy).

"he's doing it again?" she rants

Hotlink kicks bistream out of his chair. he disengages from the computer with a loud snap and thud

slipstream ignores his many complaints and turns to hotlink to ask how the test went.

he thumbs over to the weapon behind him. he only got one of them really good, but it weakened really quick. the one he hit will probably die though.

How I write my chapter outlines lol

The problem about having brainrot for your own fic is that I want to talk about it constantly but I don’t want to spoil anything but I want to talk about motives and characters and just the events but I want to preserve mystery and suspense

For the Laicion nation (aka, me and three other people)

I had this illustration commissioned (a big thank you to @lunehowls) for my werewolf AU Laicion fic (still a WIP).

The general pitch is as follows :

AU in which Laios never got to meet his sister again, putting his life on a whole other path, a more desperate one. A military deserter with barely a coin to his name, Laios hitches a ride on a boat to one of the elven continents, where he learns about magical tattoos that binds one’s soul to a wolf’s, effectively making them artificial werewolves. Illegal magic be damned, this feels like the answer to… everything.

In the process, he learns about the existence of an illegal fighting ring in one of the elven cities, where beastmen gladiators gather. Freshly tattooed and without anywhere else to go to, Laios decides to head there, where he meets Lycion, an elf and artificial werewolf gladiator. If they first bond over a simple shared meal, by spending time together (sharing the same room in the barracks, maybe the same bed? gasp) they find that they have a lot in common, notably a shared distaste for the body they were born in, a dysphoria partially remedied by becoming a werewolf.

They bond :)

NB: I commissioned another piece, go take a look :D

Danny can't recall many fond memories of his childhood, but ones he did remember often included their summer trips to his Aunt Alicia's in the countryside where he and Jazz would play in the woods just outside the Kent family's farm. The Kent's were a wonderful family who took his parents' ghost talks in stride, and they were always kind to him and Jazz. Danny loved when Clark and his wife Lois were in town while they visited. They always had really cool stories on account of them being journalists. And if Danny seemed to notice that Clark tended to treat everything like it was glass, or that he seemed to hear things way better than he should... well, Danny wasn't going to say anything about it.

It was about a year after Danny's accident that the Fenton family made a trip back out to Alicia's. Clark happened to be in town; he heard the Fentons were coming. He'd heard shouting coming from Alicia's, but had initially thought nothing of it. The Fentons were a loud family, always getting into some sort of trouble. Then he heard the sound of their weapons firing; a little weirder, but still normal for Jack and Maddie. And then he heard a cry for help... that's when he found Danny stumbling through their fields, covered in dirt and blood and green, glowing goop. He had a gash in his side that he gripped at in pain, and his eyes burned a toxic green in his determination to get to the farmhouse. He clung to Clark as soon as he was close enough.

"Please help me," he whimpered through ground teeth. "My parents are hunting me, please you have to help me!" Probably a meta, he thought, angry that Jack and Maddie could do something like this to their own son, meta or not. With gentle hands, Clark lifted the child he'd known since he was a baby and got him to the safest place he could think of for medical attention. It was time to smuggle a child into the Batcave.

OR

Clark has known Danny his whole life, and when an identity reveal goes sideways in the countryside, Batman helps Clark adopt Danny.

The following sixteen chapters of "A Beacon of Hope" have been outlined. To keep the story interesting, I'm going to include timeskips in the character's lives every so often so I can stay motivated to write this longfic.

Supergirl, Kara/Lena, M

“Okay,” Kara says, and she pulls Lena in close, an arm around her shoulder. “Now, when we go out there, try to look like I just rocked your world. We’re talking like you were tasting colors at some points.” 

Hockey AU is not abandoned, my friends. Enjoy it HERE.
