Its been a while since I've given an update on what stories I'm working on, so here goes:

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Dot:set in Amethyst's Hyperverse, its the story of a young man with gender issues, who is turned into a girly girl.

Rose the Bunny:Is it weird that I'm writing a Christmas story in May? This one is thanks to Rosy Redd, so when it comes out, blame her. :P

The secret of Myth:Its possible everybody gave up on this story, cause I had nothing for a long time. But its not dead yet ...

E-Girl: the superiors:Finally, I'm going to give the origin of Commander Ares, as well as the villains of the E-girl universe.

Brace for it:originally conceived as a celebration of my 10th anniversary here, I hope to have this done before my 12th anniversary.

The Lancer:the last story idea I got from Kylie, before she left us. I'd really like to finish this one, in her memory.

Karaoke night: what if you went to a bar and sang Karaoke, and became a completely new person as a result? We'll find out together.

The adventures of Over-powered Girl: Originally conceived as my entry in the bad fan-fic tropes contest, it's morphed into something else entirely ...

Well, that's the list for now. As they used to say, stay tuned ...

My Own List

Daphne Xu's picture

This is very much a partial list, for a couple of reasons. (For one, I don't want to spoil any surprises in some of my stories.) It's more of a list of stories I'm stalled on. Most of the titles are working titles.

  • Alice's Revenge, the sequel to "John's Living Nightmare"
  • Body-Swap Sex Club
  • A Boy-Girl Summer, set up around "The Family Council"
  • Daddy and Dani, Daddy and BFF get bodyswapped.
  • Flatulent Fanny, the bad fanfic or superheroine story that never got off the ground
  • Hypnotic Hannibal, The Hypnotic Pain Show, and The Hypnotic Boy, three hypnotic stories which are mostly ideas for now
  • A rewrite of "Naughty Outdoor Adventures"
  • A major prequel to "Our Daughter's Prom Date"
  • A parody of The Professor's "Ovis" stories
  • The Phandom House in which the residents transform strangely
  • Shifting Realities about exactly that
  • Rotated, reality is rotated through several related realities.
  • The Sixth-Grader and the College Coed are bodyswapped.
  • Soul-Swap Church doesn't save souls; it swaps them.
  • Several SRU stories, including a sequel to "Reforming the Brat"
  • A Thumping Hearts story
  • Time-Traveler Tim
  • A few "Altered Fates" stories
  • A Bikini-Beach Late Summer, the sequel to "A Bikini Beach Summer", and a couple side stories
  • A universe suggested by Plato's Republic
  • An alternate-biology universe
  • In "BB: A Boy's Visit", what if the main character had made the opposite choice?
  • A couple other stories in the BB universe

Flatulence is always a hoot

.. at least in my book.

I think authors might consider the dangers inherent in uncontrolled toots. For instance, imagine our hero(ine) hiding from the bad guys, only to have her position compromised by a loud honk.

Seriously, though -- one should never give up on a story idea, no matter how ridiculous, partial, or impossible-seeming. I have file after file in my google drive, to which I add notes as they occur to me. I also have a file for ideas so brief that they don't yet merit a file of their own. Sometimes when I don't feel like working on my current project, I futz around in my under-developed notes. It's just as productive and much more fun.

Idea Files

I have 20-odd files of random ideas now, although I've repeated myself quite a bit. I don't give up or discard story ideas, because I might want to reuse them later.

"Flatulent Fanny" -- she needs to expel gas out her tail end to propel herself forward. (Momentum conservation, of course.) Granted, it's way more efficient at driving others away.

A Long-Lost Idea

When you announced "The Secret of Myth", I had the idea for a parody title, "The Myth of Secret". But I couldn't think of anything to hang on it, so I lost it.

Just now, though, I thought of classifying scientific research. (Its futility -- its evil will go along-side, though.)

Okay, my memory has betrayed me once again. It was this post: Some facts about M.Y.T.H. And my parody title was "Some Myths About F.A.C.T." I found a file with (essentially) that title in my stories-writing directory, with a few ideas jotted down.

So I never lost "The Myth of Secret", because I never had it to begin with. I only thought of it just now.

Oh, and I see that "Rose the Bunny" has recently been posted.
