#roisa pokemon au

[aparticularbandit]

things that i had a relevant use for in the roisa pokemon trilogy that i haven’t really addressed again in other fics: rose’s plan and her criminal plastic surgery ring.

[aparticularbandit]

so the current poll results tend to suggest the following:

y’all want the roisa soulmate fic.  y’all really want the roisa soulmate fic. i haven’t started writing this one yet, and i don’t have the clearest vision of everything involved.  in point of fact, one of the ideas i was planning on using here i think works better for a one-shot but i have another soulmate trope added in instead.  there’s, like, three different soulmate trope prompts at play here.  still kind of working on unpacking some of the hard rules i want to use for those tropes, but this is definitely a doable thing, given that i have that full month of july to start on this. you have been heard loud and clear.

y’all want the roisa university fic. this is easier.  i already have a couple of chapters roughed out and started on the third, so i already have that backlog started.  this one doesn’t require as much world-building thought as the soulmate fic, so it’ll be easier to make a bigger backlog, like i had with carla and like i had with luisa and the fox.  given that i like alternating between projects (particularly between rougher and lighter projects), this is a good fic to alternate with the soulmate fic. again, you have been heard loud and clear.

after those two, which are clearly ahead, it looks like there are two different tiers of things y’all would like, and i’m mostly just going to focus on that first tier (the second tier feels like hm, this would be nice, but want the other things more).  so, that top tier:

y’all want iylhybhn updated twice a month. right now, given the arc we’re in, this is likely doable.  i have a fairly clear direction on the next...ten? eleven? chapters? roughly? maybe a little more?  so doing more than one chapter a month is doable.  i don’t plan on necessarily having a backlog on these, though, because right now i’m approximating 7k a week (sometimes more), and that’s roughly the length of an iylhybhn chapter (i think chapter ten was a little over 8k after the second write).  so basically, i want a backlog of other things so that i can write these more regularly. you have been heard loud and clear.

put jane: the real story on the monday update schedule. given the above two regarding the soulmate fic and the university fic, this may not happen.  i don’t want to try and push for a two times a week update schedule right now (although that has been my tendency, i like it not being...like, it’s an eventual goal, maybe, but i feel like that’s a bit of a stretch).  however, i do see that y’all want more regular updates on this, so maybe i can do these in-between writing chapters of iylhybhn.  these are lighter (mostly but not always) and really cathartic in terms of writing it, so they’re good in-between those. so might be updated once or twice a month, but likely not on the monday schedule.

put more luisa and the fox content on the monday update schedule. given the above two regarding the soulmate fic and the university fic, this probably shouldn’t happen but is silightly more likely than j:trs.  this fic is basically my favorite.  i already have some backlog on extra content once the fic is finished, and i already have an idea for furthering content.  because there is a stronger plan here in terms of what comes next, it’s easier for me to do this than j:trs, and since they’re on the same tier, i lean towards this one. so, likely, but not necessarily.

update the pokemon fic more regularly. considering i haven’t updated either of these since, like, november? december? i think november, this is doable. ish.  i don’t have a clear plot on luisa’s fic, but i do have a clear plot on clara’s fic.  so it’s possible i’ll update that second part more than the first.  this is on the backburner a bit, but i can try to, you know, not wait half a year in-between updates.  >< you have been heard loud and clear.

start posting everything’s coming up rose’s. i have a backlog on this, but it’s really rough and needs some editing.  i think i made it to chapter...i was in chapter three?  these chapters tend to be long - of the 17k i think i had, that covered...two full chapters, two partial chapters, a flashback, and...something else.  so, like, these chapters are long the way iylhybhn’s chapters are long.  may not backlog on these the way i want to backlog with my writing in july, but might.  probably won’t start posting these until after august - mostly i want to give a bit of a breather between this and the hallmark fic because they’re companion pieces and deal with similar themes - or, really, this is the fuller extrapolation of a lot of ideas i had when brainstorming those fics.

so, basically, what i’m thinking in terms of the monday schedule after july is:

update iylhybhn.

update the roisa university fic.

update iylhybhn.

update luisa and the fox content.

and then just alternate that way - primarily because university fic and luisa and the fox content are easier to build a backlog of stuff that’s just done and can go up during the month without me worrying about doing a bunch of writing and rushing each week. outside of that, in july, i want to:

start writing the roisa soulmate fic.

these may or may not be posted as chapters are available after july

idk how big of a backlog i’ll be able to do here, but i can do more brainstorming and writing during july for this

right now maybe tentatively look at a once a month schedule after july?

keep writing the roisa hp au.

i know this wasn’t on the poll, but it was still the highest voted from the last polls, so it’s still high up on the things people want tier

i still want to have an entire book of backlog before posting.  kind of like what i’m doing with the hallmark special.  i found that this was really helpful in terms of setting things up well for luisa and the fox, and i like having special fic projects that are done this way.

again, i plan on this being a weekly thursday update schedule per book

once the first book has been through two drafts with me and maybe goes to betas - so basically when it’s in its third (or fourth) draft, i want to start posting it.

i want this to be the process for each book, so there may be a long wait between each book.

have a bigger backlog of the roisa university fic.

in keeping with the potential new monday update schedule.

have a bigger backlog of luisa and the fox content.

again, in keeping with the potential new monday update schedule.

beyond that, i want to:

keep writing jane: the real story.

plan on a once or twice a month update but, like, tend towards still once a month.

because this is a lot of writing, y’all, and at this point, even looking at everything, it’s intimidating and i already feel spread thin.

keep writing everything’s coming up rose’s.

partly for backlog, partly i just really like this fic a lot.

potentially also a once a month update after august??

go back to writing the pokemon fic(s).

potentially update every other month.

keep writing heart in motion.

despite being on the lower tier on the polls, this fic has a lot of traffic.  not everyone who reads my stuff on ao3 gets here for polls, and from stats, this is wanted.

potentially also update every other month - i have a harder time with this fic in terms of getting into everyone’s voices across all of the characters.

feel free to pursue other projects at will.

this includes aftershocks and the rosalint fic and the super epic crossover and potentially other pairs (dottie/lint, for instance, would be really cool)

i still want to write an epic rose/dottie/whitney/lint/emma fic because can you imagine the five of them working together it would be great.

and this last one, in particular, is important because honestly, looking at all of this feels really intimidating and it looks like a lot and i know me and jumping between projects and i know that sometimes what i want to do in terms of what i know y’all want is not always what i end up doing because there are other ideas that really interest me.  and i don’t want to give up that freedom to adhere to all of this.  but it’s also nice to have a general plan of where to direct when i don’t feel overwhelming muse for one particular project or another. anyway.  here!  a thing.  ^^ also the poll is still open, so if y’all want to vote, feel free, and i’ll potentially change these sorts of ideas accordingly.

[aparticularbandit]

@luisassalver - ah, no, although that’s a fun thought! it was a lot more complicated and had an end goal, unlike what the series has done with it so far.

[aparticularbandit]

the first chapter of clara’s pokemon au is now up.

pokemon featured under the cut.

spitfire, clara’s talonflame:

diantha’s hawlucha:

artie, clara’s shiny zorua:

elena’s (alolan) persian:

other pokemon mentioned:

goldeen:

poliwag:

surskit:

charizard:

rhyhorn:

[aparticularbandit]

random pokemon au information that i don’t think will really find its way into the story proper but which is worth noting:

luisa primarily lives in the samona (saw-moan-ah) region.  given its warmer climate and close proximity to the unova region, samona primarily has a mixture of pokemon currently found in both alola and unova, along with some of those found in other regions (less likely, but still possible - given that pancham is from kalos originally, but that may be why mia had such trouble finding a breeder who was good with her pangoro.  did i think about this while writing?  nope).  there are some regional variances similar to those found in alola, but not entirely.  for instance, a pikachu caught in samona will evolve into an alolan raichu, not a kanto one, but this is not true of all regional variances (a cubone would evolve into a kanto marowak, not an alolan one, etc.).  samona does not have its own pokemon league (although it likely does have some pokemon unique to its region, although i probably won’t get into that), and most parents who want to send their children on a league journey send them to unova, although now that alola has a league of its own, a select few have begun to send their children there, seeing it as a a far safer alternative. clara was born in the linsola (len-sole-uh) region, bordering kalos just past snowbelle city.  as a result, most of the pokemon found in kalos can also be found in linsola.  there are currently no known regional variances, and while linsola may have pokemon unique to its area, this is much less likely than the aforementioned samona region.  just as with samona, linsola does not have its own pokemon league, and those who wish their children to take part in that more likely than not send them to kalos.  but fewer families in linsola send their children, typically considering the league to be brash, ruthless, and harmful to the pokemon involved.  this is especially true after the events with lysandre and the destruction of geosenge town.

[aparticularbandit]

i think i finally figured out the structure i want to give to the clara part of the pokemon au (part two, not part three) and i think it’s going to work out better that way.  just like with luisa, i was struggling to figure out how to start it, but where luisa’s first chapter needed to really be all about mia, clara’s i think needs to be structured entirely differently.  so i’m kind of excited for that break-through if it works out.  ^^ fun facts: i actually started luisa’s first chapter with the bit about her parents fighting.  the Christmas scene got added later when i was trying to figure out a better way to start it.  so like maybe it’s partly trying to figure out how to differentiate them from carla but not entirely true because carla is done entirely differently and tells a different story. also i don’t think carla’s actually going to show up in the pokemon au.  ^^

[aparticularbandit]

the problem with thinking about aus (mental hospital, university, soulmate (look, a new one!)) is that most of them are connected to ideas I’ve had or settings I’ve had so there’s crossover with older stuff. mental hospital has jess crossover; university au would likely have that expanded universe stuff; soulmate au (as has been considered) would have crossover from soulmate jess stuff (because i liked that world and i like that set-up for roisa because i like the idea of soulmate timer stuff i did with that and what the timer actually meant vs. how society interpreted it and what it looked like to experiment with it (because that was a thing) and what it mean to have it removed vs. being born without it and the constraints that a timer could have on society and interactions as a whole).

but also i like the pokémon au because it’s its own thing separate from crossovers (even though i’ve previously considered writing about the implications of training and fighting and nuzlocke aspects and that stuff, those themes, do strongly show up in clara’s story).

so idk.

[aparticularbandit]

new first chapter mostly roughed out for the Pokémon au. i like this one better. the other one can be luisa’s second chapter.

or this one can be a prologue and the other one can be the first chapter. or show up later.

maybe?

[aparticularbandit]

okay but - the starter pokémon - not including evolutions because haven't seen those yet - are your basic roisa hp au trio:

Scorbunny: Clara

Grooky: Luisa

Sobble: Janet

BASED ENTIRELY ON THAT INTRO THING WHEN LEE GIVES YOU THE OPTION ON WHICH ONE TO PICK.

[aparticularbandit]

so started a new randomizer sapphire run-through a while ago and this time janet aka miss lint is playing with me and one of the starters was a ninetales and we’ve been naming it clara for rose obviously and whenever clara dies, janet just bsod’s and then we lose the nuzlocke fairly quickly afterwards. and i just janet we’re supposed to keep going and she’s what’s the point if clara’s dead. it sucks.

[aparticularbandit]

got started on carla chapter five.  it’s okay.  not sure if i like it or not, but it does its job okay so far.

currently at 25366 words for nano, which means i’m halfway.  woo-hoo.

[aparticularbandit]

State of Bandit Fic

Because it has been over a year and a half since i did a proper one of these, and a lot of things have changed, and I want to do one.

Basically.

Under a cut because when we get extensive on these things, it gets really long.  Obviously.

First off, I have been trying to transition to writing profic, which is why I had less fanfic posts in the first little bit of this year.  Obviously, if you’ve been seeing my updates, you’ll notice I’ve done a longer fanfic recently - primarily involving Wanda Maximoff and America Chavez, although the Wanda/Agatha fics are pulling me back to my more recent shipping trends.

Y’all, I miss writing shipping fics and playing around with those dynamics, and it’s fun to find a new ship to write for.  So y’all might be getting more Wanda/Agatha stuff (probably with Wanda/Vision stuff because when I deal with canon, I want to at least address Vision, you know).

So - looking at how I used to format these - I would, what, plans for the rest of the year and then tentatively look at plans for next year?

Y’all, I’m not that organized right now, and that may be because I stopped doing Monday updates and started just posting chapters when they’re done (which also means I’ve mostly stopped beta-ing and stopped second writes).

But I think, in terms of things I’m planning for the rest of the year, it would be something like this:

Finish Finding Family.

This is first and foremost in terms of fanfic fare.  I’m in the last part.  There’s still a good chunk left.  I know I’ve been taking a break for Harximoff stuff, but like.  I think I’m ready to get back into it now.

(This is typical for me.  When I’m closed to finishing stuff, I take a break, and then do a big push.  This is normal; I’m not particularly worried about this going unfinished.)

Post Love Is Not A Victory March, AKA Roisa Soulmate Timer AU #4.

This means finishing my reread of Halfway There, which is where I’m stalled.

This also means doing a second-write for consistency (because I know there’s some inconsistencies between it and Halfway There, which is why I haven’t posted it yet).

The rough has been done since early 2021.  I’m just...stalled.

Post Noir fic.

This is a very tentative plan.

I need to finish going through Noir again first.

This desperately needs some editing and revision.

This fic is almost a decade old, so it needs A LOT of editing and revision.

And one of the chapters is super cringe and Bandit did NOT do the research and does not want to do the research.

But I want to post it, I’ve wanted to post it for ten years, I should maybe finally get around to doing that.

No, there are no plans for Roisa Secret Santa this year, just like there hasn’t been and are no plans for Roisa Fic Week this year.

Sorry.  I’m just.  Not there anymore.  And honestly...I think most of us aren’t there anymore.  But I’ll still take prompts for them!  And, I mean, obviously soulmate timer #4 is up there, so that’s...that’s something, at least.

But those are the three things I’d like to do by the end of the year.  Probably in that order.  Yep.

I do not have anything specific planned for next year and am probably going to be rolling with whatever I’m interested in doing.  Woo!

So - now to the itemized stuff in terms of unfinished projects and stuff I’ve talked about but hadn’t posted and, new category, potential ideas for the future, which is different from stuff I’ve talked about but hadn’t posted in that it’s.  new stuff (and the former also includes stuff I definitely wrote and haven’t posted, not just stuff I was brainstorming and then forgot about).

If you’re here for Harximoff or just general Wanda or Agatha stuff, you want the last category, feel free to skip the other two.  ^^

Unfinished Projects:

In order of oldest to newest:

Pokemon: Blizzard and Pokemon: Hurricane

 These have been abandoned.  Sorry.

Like.  I still know roughly what was going to happen in Blizzard and the follow-up Thunder Snow or...whatever the third one in this trilogy was going to be, but I didn’t have a super concrete idea what was going to happen in Hurricane (I had vague ideas and concepts of some very concrete things but not an overarching story like I did with Blizzard).  It’s not that I’m not interested.  I just don’t feel like writing it right now, and I don’t know that I will in the future.

Sleeping Habits

This has been abandoned.

I don’t even know what the second chapter of this was going to be anymore.  Like.  I have a vague idea, and I know this was supposed to have one more chapter, but ???

The Adventures of Rose, the Baker’s Daughter

Also abandoned.  A lot of these are going to be like that.  Sorry.

Sin Rostro

I’m not sure. I like the idea of this one, but I don’t know if I’ll finish writing it or return to it, and I remember distinctly having the feeling that this particular AU was a bit out of my range to begin with - not because it’s super dark but because it relies a lot on sex, and while I could write a lot of fade to black, this one’s a little more racy than I really want to write right now.  So.  IDK.

Tentatively abandoned, but this is one I could see going back to.

Aftershocks

This has been abandoned.

Emilia Antonia

I shot myself in the foot when I decided to do a love triangle, and I don’t like it, and I don’t want to write it anymore because of that, which sucks because I still really like the idea of this fic. ://

Heart in Motion

Also abandoned.

Geronimo

Also abandoned.

A Handful of Dust

YEAH NO.  Interesting idea, don’t want the follow-through.

Days that Bleed

Also abandoned, but only because I started doing something else with the concept.

Something else that has also been tentatively abandoned.

Jane: The Real Story

This crack has also.  been abandoned.

If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now

I like the idea of going back to this one.  I’d like to go back to this one.  I still remember some ideas of where this was headed, but not all of them - the last time I did a read-through of this, I’d already forgotten where some of these plot lines were supposed to go - but I remember roughly what happens next and where it’s going and where it ends.

But.

This halfway point is also a good stopping point.  Rose and Lu are out of the mental hospital, and they’re happy.  Of course, they escaped the mental hospital instead of getting better, but.  They’re happy for now.

I don’t want to say this is entirely abandoned, although it’s likely.  Of my Roisa fic, this is the one that it’s most likely for me to go back and want to finish it.

Meeting at Sunset

Belle, I was going to implement some of your ideas, and now I’m just abandoning it, and I’m sorry about that.

Siren’s Call

Also abandoned, although I’ve considered taking some of this for something else.

Guns and Spurs

I also still remember the basic shape of this one.  I just don’t know that I’ll actually get around to writing it.  Also I feel like I would want to see Deputy again first, and I don’t own Deputy (yet?) so.  If I go back to it, it’ll be a while.

Mostly I want to get back to renegade Rose, honestly.

What Dreams May Come

I WANT.  TO GET BACK.  TO THIS.

Do you know how much I miss writing in second person?

I was actually getting back into this, and then everything with Iami happened, and I didn’t want to write it anymore because of life circumstances, but I want to go back to this one, so like.  I’m not going to say it’s abandoned because I want to go back to it eventually, it’s just.

IDK Y’ALL.

Falling

I remember the basic shape of what this was tentatively meant to be, but I don’t want to write it anymore.  I, like, kind of do, but not enough to actually get to writing it.  So consider this abandoned.

Gotham University

Yeah, even when I started this one, I didn’t think I would necessarily keep it going.  Sorry.  Also abandoned.

Time Ticking Like A Bomb Embedded In Her Wrist

I don’t want to do the Agent Carter viewing necessary to go back to this.  But I still like the tentative idea of it.  Abandoned until further notice (but MCU soulmate timer au ideas have been...flying.  See below?  Maybe).

On Myths and Hide Outs

I was originally just writing this one for me and then I posted some of the chapters but not all of them so I still have some chapters written but I was writing this one for me and not for y’all and I’m probably not going to post the rest of what I’ve got written, and IDK if I’ll even go back to writing more.  Sorry, not sorry.

I do miss Regina, though.  Hm.

Fragments of Color

Hey, look, one I’m still planning on finishing!

It’s taking a backseat to Finding Family, but, like, I’m still semi-excited for this one?

Excited might be a bit of a stretch.

This one doesn’t stick as close to canon as Kisses Through The Decades did, so.  I’m a little more open on the Harximoff stuff here.  Which I like!  So!  There’s that!

Still tentatively planning on a kiss every chapter, but I don’t know if I can sustain that, considering where this fic would be going.

Finding Family

Said it above, saying it again, I’m in part five, I’m planning on going back to this, I just took a break, time to crack down and finish the thing, etc.

Unfinished Series:

The Time of Your Life

AKA Roisa Soulmate Timer AU

4/5 parts done.

Fic Four still needs to be edited, as I said before.

IDK if I’ll actually write Fic Five, but we’ll see.

Where The Lightning Splits The Sea

AKA Roisa HP AU

I think I got about 50k or something into the second book and then decided to abandon it.  I don’t think a lot of y’all were really reading this, and I just...it’s a lot.  It’s a lot.  I have five more books after this one planned, and it’s just, it’s a lot.  So I’m not.

If y’all want me to post the brainstorming for those seven books, I can!  I have notes on what goes in which book and what set-up is required and the tentative titles and everything.  PAGES of notes.  So, just, if any of y’all want this, let me know, and I can post the outline, I think.

Partly Written and Unposted/Stuff I Talked About but Haven’t Done:

Mexican Stud

AKA Rosalint fic

Yeah, I’m not posting this.  I’m probably not going to go back to writing this.  For a lot of reasons, even though I figured out how to get around the thing I was struggling with.  BUT this was the first book in Epic Superhero Crossover, which, speaking of--

Epic Superhero Crossover

This is too big, y’all.

It is too big and unwieldy and I don’t want to...I want to write it, but it is so massive and so big and I just.  I don’t want to.  Sorry.  I still have a lot of thoughts about it and how things went, and I’m still super into DottieLint as a result of this, but like....  Probably not going to be a thing that actually gets actualized and posted, despite all of the different stuff I have written for this.

Like - I have chunks of at least three - four - different fics for this series started.  And I had...seven? or more? projected?  Kind of like the Roisa HP au, but a little more vignette and sprawling and just I don’t.

Everything’s Coming Up Roses

Abandoned but potentially turning into something else.

Luisa and the Child

AKA Luisa and the Fox sequel

Abandoned.  Sorry.  Mostly I just wanted the freckles scene and extra mythology re: Susanna and Rose’s mom.  But I don’t actually want to write this right now.  So.  Sorry!

Various Roisa Soulmate AUs

Potentially turning into something else.

Also I don’t remember what chorus: romance says goodnight even was at this point.  I do remember dreamers often lie, but.  potentially turning this one into something else.

Timeless/Noir fic

I forgot about this until I saw it one of the other updates, and I know I started it, and I like the idea of it, but IDK if I’ll get back to it.  Sorry.

Also would probably want to finish seeing Timeless again first, but.  Meh.  Probably not.

JTV rewrite ALA Jane doesn’t get inseminated but Petra does

I also forgot about this until I looked at the last update but I’m still tentatively interested in writing this.

We’ll see.

Dani/Jamie highschool/college au?

Apparently I mentioned this?

I’m not writing this one, y’all.  Sorry.

Potential Ideas for the Future:

Wanda/Bedelia Fic

AKA WandaVision rewrite #3 (wherein Kisses Through The Decades and Fragments of Color are #1 and #2, respectively)

Tentatively titled Phantom Limb, or What It Means to Kneel

I still want to write this.

I don’t know how high this is on my want to write list.

But I want to write it.

I miss Bedeals SO much and would LOVE to see her interact with Wanda in a therapeutic sense.  (And also give Agatha therapy, my girl needs some therapy, everybody in that show needs therapy.)

SO.  THOUGHTS.  WE’LL SEE.

Baby Agatha Series

Tentatively titled A Sea Psalm for a Penitent Soul

Other fics in the series have tentative titles, but I will not be going into that here.

I’ve posted about this a lot, and this is my new dark series brainstorming bunny.

I really want to write this, too, but, like Wanda/Bedelia fic, I’m postponing it until after Finding Family.

Yes, this would be a series, despite my initial plans for this to be a single fic.

I know the first two main fics and the opening prologue one-shot-ish thing (which, knowing me, would not stay as a one-shot, but it’s planned as a one-shot).

I also know the tentative beginnings of the third fic and roughly the last couple of fics.  It’s the middle I’m unsure of.

Also the other one-shots.  OH WELL.

Various Harximoff Soulmate AUs

I have a weakness for soulmate AUs, y’all.  I just.  do.

Soulmate Timer AU has come up (and it took a bit of thought BUT I think it can be a thing)

The downside to this is that it would be yet another WandaVision rewrite, and as much as I love rewriting WandaVision and exploring that realm...this would be #4, and IDK if I want to do that many right after each other.

Can Only Be Killed By Your Soulmate AU has come up (this would probably be a short angsty one-shot)

Don’t Age Until You Meet Your Soulmate AU has come up (Agatha quietly panicking in the background while Wanda and Vision deal with their shit has so much potential for hilarity, y’all, but IDK if I actually want to write this as much as I enjoy the concept)

I may look into others - the plans for Dreamers Never Lie, like, the world-building I could potentially use for a Harximoff AU, but I don’t think those lend themselves well to Wanda and Agatha in particular (and definitely don’t to Vis, although one of them would have an interesting angle...hm).

Finding Family spin-off(s)

Wendy could have gone so many different places, y’all, and I kind of want to look into those multiversal variants.

I definitely plan to post deleted/expanded/alternate scenes. (I have at least two for this, and I might have more.  I’m not sure yet.)

I don’t know if I’ll do a direct sequel - originally Wanda dealing with Agatha was going to be a sequel, but thematically it fit better where it is - but there’s always the possibility for that, I guess.  I just don’t know if I have any direct sequel ideas.

Unless I did more Harximoff here, but IDK if I want that, really.  These two are more QPPs than GFs.

We’ll see.

I have talked a bit about a potential Harximoff High School AU, but I fear my characterization of Agatha would make this too close to Carrie, so.  Probably not actually going to do this (although I may do something else with the general idea).

BUT YEAH, THAT’S IT.

TL; DR - I’m only really interested in finishing If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now and What Dreams May Come other than, of course, the ones mentioned above, and I have a lot of Harximoff and WandaVision rewrite ideas.  We’ll see what happens with those!

[aparticularbandit]

added another scene to clara’s pokemon au.  think i should just have one more before that draft is done, then i’ll want to edit it before posting.

also think i should just have one more scene in the next chapter of iylhybhn, but not sure on that one.  i know what i want to do with the next scene, ish, so we’ll see how that goes.

[aparticularbandit]

got another scene added into clara’s pokemon au.  have a general idea of how i want to end this chapter so, again, maybe a couple more scenes and then the rough of this chapter should be done!

[aparticularbandit]

Current State of Bandit Fic

The last time I did one of these was on April 12, so it’s been about a month and a half.  I figured I wanted to do one again, especially since there’s been a lot more stuff started and to give general updates on what I’ve been writing, etc.

This’ll be under a cut, so apologies to you mobile users because I don’t think it does the cuts.  :/

Completed JTV Fics:

Carla

THE LAST CHAPTER HAS BEEN POSTED.  IT’S DONE.

Luisa and the Fox

I have one more chapter left to post, and I plan for that to be next month.

I do still plan on potential extended scenes in a different fic.

In-Progress Posted JTV Fics:

If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now

Still planning on posting at least a chapter a month until it’s done.

I’ve liked having these on alternate second Mondays with Luisa and the Fox with a chapter of Carla every other week, but given that the latter is done and the former is almost done....

Probably still plan on posting these on Mondays.

 There are at least fifteen twenty known chapters (as in I have a fairly good idea of what happens in those chapters) and past those potentially two more at least - and some of those might expand because I know me and this should all happen in this chapter! and then it ends up being longer than I thought.

Right now it feels like this fic is shaping up to be more like multi-chapter chunks/arcs.

So the first arc was Luisa’s first few days at Belle Reve, and that was eight chapters.

The current arc I estimate to have at least seven chapters (six of those I have a fairly good idea of what’s going to happen but there’s an in-between of what’s currently going on and the latter half of the arc - like there’s a time period that I don’t have covered that I think may have a chapter but am not sure).

The next arc has at least five chapters (that I have general ideas on what happens with them) but will probably be longer than that.

The next arc has at least four but probably five chapters (that I have a fairly good idea of what happens - two of those chapters may be combined into one, but not sure at this point).

The next chapter has at least two, maybe three chapters before a one-two chapter break, and then there will probably be more chapters but not sure exactly on how this one will go as well.

Okay so apparently that’s more like twenty more chapters.  Oops.

The general ideas are the same as they were the last time I gave the estimate.  It’s just that at least one other complication has been added, among other things.  This is more likely to be longer than shorter.

Jane: The Real Story

Still not planning to schedule updates but may go into the Monday update slots.

Still don’t know how long this is going to be.

I do have the season one arc fairly plotted (or, well, partially plotted because there was a lot that happened in season one and while I know some of what I want to do with this, there are probably other things I should address and haven’t decided yet).

I have season two better plotted.  Or.  It’s less like seasons and more like arcs.

The first arc is Jane + pregnancy.  This is your season one equivalent, but it’s fairly different from season one.

The second arc is consequences of lying about the artificial insemination.  This is your season two equivalent, even though it address some events from season one.

The third arc is dealing with the aftermath of those consequences and...takes place in two different locations.  This is your season three/four equivalent.

I’m not sure if I’ll have an equivalent arc for season five because by that point it mostly won’t exist but I suppose there’s at least one aspect I’d like to address from season five so.  There’s that.

Basically it’s better brainstormed.

Still planning on having this be flexible in terms of updates.  For now, at least.

The Adventures of Rose, the Baker’s Daughter

I still like writing fairy tales and still don’t want to be judged but for now, this one is not in the cards to be regularly updated.  Kind of like the Pokemon fics.

Not abandoned but not super high priority.

Aftershocks

Potentially goes into one of the Monday update slots but not sure at this point.

Have a general idea of things I want to happen in this fic but not enough to give a general chapter count.  This is a really new fic, so it’s still being brainstormed ish.

I do look forward to the Luisa/Lint scenes, though, and I do plan on this being very focused on just Luisa, Rose, and Lint.  I don’t really want it to be bigger than them at the moment, although it may expand after this initial first arc.  I’m not sure yet.

May have a companion piece in regards to the Rosalint fic.

Kind of like how Carla and If You Lived Here, You’d Be Home Now are companion pieces.  You can read them separately and they work, but if you’ve read both, you get more out of them...ish.  They reference and call back to each other.

Heart in Motion

Not planning on having a firm updating schedule with this because it’s comedy and comedy is hard for me (dramedy is a little bit better but not by much).

This one is harder to write because idk if I can accurately capture the feel of all the ODAAT characters (Lydia, in particular, may be hard).

I have a general idea of where I want to go in terms of plot on this one.

I do want to have some ODAAT-centric chapters that set up for later stuff; I don’t want to just focus on Luisa and Rose drama (although I definitely do plan on drama as a result of...primarily Rose, let’s be honest).  But I don’t want to make the ODAAT characters side characters because I want it to be just as much their story as Rose and Luisa’s.

Expect irregular updates for now because that’s probably what might happen.

Sleeping Habits

I keep forgetting that there’s supposed to be a second chapter to this.

My bad.

In-Progress Unposted JTV Fics:

Everything’s Coming Up Roses

No change from the last update as I’ve been focusing on other projects.

Shenanigans: Luisa and the Fox

Name change.  More like a rearranging.

The only change here is more brainstorming, tbh, insofar as connecting it to another piece.

I like companion pieces, and while one might assume that the fairy tales are companions to each other, right now it’s looking like they’re more companions to another, much bigger, project.

May take up a Monday update slot once Luisa and the Fox is finished.

Where The Lightning Splits The Sea

aka Roisa HP AU.

This is probably going to be really, really long.

The first book has an outline.  It should be...fifteen chapters long.

The second book has the beginnings of its outline - right now it’s at least seven chapters long, but that only gets us to the end of October.

The following books I have notes on stuff that I want to make sure to include.

I’ve started writing the first book.

Right now I’m in chapter three, and the book is already over 13k.  That should give you some idea of length here.

I have a really good idea of what I want to do with this entire series.

It’s just probably going to be really long.

Right now, the plan is to finish an entire book and then post the chapters as updates (probably on Thursdays as opposed to the normal Monday updates).

I hope to have betas for these, and I’d like the betas to have the general overarching outline of what’s going on...but maybe not.

Maybe should have different betas for this.  I’m unsure.

Also I should probably finish my HP series reread.  Oh well.

A Christmas at Longbourne

aka Hallmark Holiday Special

Projected to be five chapters long.

Hopefully to be posted on Mondays in July.

Because Christmas in July, y’all!

So.  Should probably focus on this and finish the rough draft but I keep getting distracted.

Currently with the second chapter.

University AU

Unsure on length.

Have a fairly good idea of overarching plot.

I think last time I checked I was in chapter...two?

But there was a prologue, so for y’all that’d be the third chapter.  Ish.

Probably won’t be a Monday update slot.  But could be?

Rosalint Fic

Yes, this is more considered a JTV fic than a Tick fic because it’s set in the JTV universe more than The Tick universe.

Right now I mostly just have bits and pieces.  Scenes.  Some fluff, some...not.

This is likely the companion piece for Aftershocks, probably, so.  You won’t need to read both to enjoy either of them but you’ll enjoy them more if you read both.  Basically.

Brainstorming JTV Fics:

Canon-Compliant Soulmate AU

OKAY BUT I WENT THROUGH SOULMATE AU PROMPTS AND IDEAS AND I HAVE A GENERAL GOOD IDEA OF WHAT I’M DOING WITH THIS AND I’M ACTUALLY EXCITED,

It’s still in brainstorming stage because.  do you see the above?  I’ve been doing a lot of writing on a lot of other things.

Brainstorming Non-JTV Fics:

Potential Lint/Overkill Prequel Fic

Just what it says on the tin.

Probably more a collection of one-shots that would follow like lightning.

Potential Timeless Soulmate AU Fic

Focuses on Emma.

Uses the same general soulmate timer world as seen in the Roisa one-shot that people liked.

Have a good overarching idea of this but want a few more specifics before jumping into it more.

Probably won’t use the time machine BUT plan on having other Rittenhouse funded research that they want to use to control people.

Potential Timeless/Noir Fusion Fic

In which Emma has amnesia and gets dropped on Lucy’s doorstep before Lucy knows about Rittenhouse.

I have ideas about this one and I like those ideas but still hammering out the specific details of the fusion.

Like I can’t just make Lucy an assassin.

Like Emma makes better sense if I fuse her as a combination of Chloe and Altena but she’s technically in Kirika’s role.

Like how do I throw the rest of the gang in here (and do I, considering one of the great things about Noir was that none of the main characters were men and the men who showed up were usually in minor or plot device roles)?

I really want to write this because Noir is so near and dear to my heart but....  Idk if anyone else will enjoy this, tbh.

[aparticularbandit]

it’s interesting looking at hits for my fics because, with the exception of if you lived here, you’d be home now, the fic with the most traffic is actually one screwed-up family, the one-shot soulmate au, more than my other multi-chapter fics (oddly enough, more than carla). and the fic with the least traffic is actually the bridge, less even than the pokémon au fics. there are six chapters, and it still has under 50 hits.

this, to me, is just intriguing. i expect the pokemon au pieces to have less traffic because a crossover between those two is extremely niche, but the soulmate au one-shot has such traffic still even months after i’ve written it is astonishing. i think it says something about the roisa fandom - or even fandom in general - that we want these tropes, even if the stories themselves don’t end happily.

just a thought. idk if anyone else has had that same reaction.
