13 hours and 35 minutes to get the house clean

[wowbright]

I have this New Year's tradition of cleaning my abode. But I don't feel like it this year. All I want to do is sit around and write.

Of course, I only got home from visiting the family of origin last night, which means my cats are needy, the laundry needs to be done, and I desperately need groceries, because all I will be eating until I do is oatmeal, popcorn and canned peas. Okay, I might round it out with dried apples and Christmas cookies and peanut butter cups.

I didn't get much writing done over the holidays, what with how loud and interactive my family is, but I did manage a few thousand words about David Karofsky because he has taken over my brain. Hope I don't lose all my friends when I finally post it. :)

I have the same tradition and it does me in almost every year. Drives the husband nuts because it comes directly after a whirlwind family tour. But dammit, I like to start the year with a clean house. This year I might save resolutions for the END of January so I can do New York in decadence and frivolousness. Maybe I'll even book a Stoney-inspired massage. Hell, maybe I should just make those my resolutions. More decadence! More frivolousness! End times, after all. But most certainly resolving to tell more writers on LJ how much I adore them. I adore you! See what I did there? Bringing the new year in with a bang. Woo Hoo!! Now back to sorting toys and purging ratty old clothes. Decadent, I know.

"More decadence! More frivolousness!" should be my New Year's resolutions. I don't do them nearly enough. Case in point: Went to a brew pub with my parents this week. Ordered a 12 oz. beer. It was good. Drank about half of it. Dad asked if I was going to finish it. "No, I've started to feel it."

OMG I want to read your thoughts on Dave! I promise not to unfollow you! ♥

My house is a disaster area, holy crap. It looks like a Christmas bomb hit it. And to make matters worse, there are service people arriving in... well they were supposed to get here ten minutes ago. Argh why can't I just fix everything myself? Oh yeah, lack of knowledge and equipment.

Anyway I managed to clear the entryway enough to get in, and hide all the sex toys. Good enough.

Well, the reason I am writing Karofsky is because of you, you know. Because that prompt fill was supposed to be a nice tiny bit of unf, and instead it's turned into ... well, I can't tell you what it's turned into yet - at least not here - because no one but you and my beta knows I'm working on it, and you may have forgotten because it's been ages. But suffice it to say I've written 16K or 17K words and I don't see the end yet.

Good times!

Ha, a petition gatherer came to my house this morning and I invited her in and then I was like, "What the hell did I just do, there's not a surface to sit on, I have two open suitcases on the floor, a six-inch stack of mail, two laundry racks filled with clothing and - yeah, she probably would have rather stood outside." She was kind and did not say anything about my housekeeping.

Holy crap! Last time you told me about this you were 4k words in and hadn't reached the smut yet, LOL, but I wasn't expecting an epic novel! That's awesome! And no, I definitely haven't forgotten. Haha. :D

LOL I think people who go door to door are used to it and no matter how bad your place is, there's always someone worse. I got through my adventure in letting people into the house and I'm doing nothing for the rest of the day. So there!

Also my husband thinks I'm a dork because I pranced around excited about how people are writing me porn. LOL.

Tell him you're not a dork - you're adorkable!

I've reached smut by now, thank the celestial teapot. I think everything I've written since that first 4K qualifies as smut, or at least naughty, naughty thoughts.

Oh my goodness, this is going to be the best. Story. Ever.

[wowbright.livejournal.com]

Well, one can hope!

I will have to write a few non-naughty scenes to tie the plot together, though.

Yes, it has a plot. I think.

I've been skimming your other posts and comments as I've gone back to bookmark your fic as well as your fic recommendations. And holy hell, you've got thousands and thousands of words of a Dave fic? I am so beyond excited. Kurt will always, always be my favorite. And Blaine holds a very special place in my heart too and I really do love Klaine. But Dave. There's something about him. He's so complex and his story is so heartbreaking and I always want so much more Dave. I'm really excited. I assume it's still very much in progress and I don't even care if it comes out years from now and I don't even care what the prompt was (although, I was curious so I did look for it on your prompt post but didn't find it;)). Just knowing you're writing a big Dave fic makes me so happy. ❤

And there's smut? Don't get me wrong, I love stories of all ratings but you're writing Dave with smut? Is it a secret who his partner is? Or I guess possibly even ... partners? If so, I totally understand. Just can't help but ask...

Um, so ... yeah. You won't be losing me as a follower when you post the story :)

There are gobs and gobs of smut. Buckets of it. Vats, in fact. It's like one big smut-fest with some plot thrown in the middle.

Okay, I might be exaggerating, but let's just say there's a lot more smut than there was in The Fiddler & The Maestro, but not as much smut (proportionally) as there is in most stuff by Cimmerians.

I like to think that the smut is necessary to the plot because it is (in part) about Dave coming to terms with his sexuality - not just his sexual orientation, but his relationship with his body - realizing how he's used it in the past to distance himself from other people, and deciding whether and how he wants to change that. So ... yeah. It's season 3 parallel up through 3.10, but the exact events that occur in Heart and Born This Way don't happen (although some of the things we learn in those episodes inform my characterization of him). Including those events would have required throwing out the entire plot of my story and writing a new one. I've been having thoughts about both Heart and Born This Way, though, so you never know what will happen in other fic.

If you want to know any more, feel free to PM me!

Yay, I am so excited! Sure, random porn can be tons of fun but I'm thrilled that this isn't PWP but instead necessary-for-the-plot-smut. This is sounding awesome. I can imagine anyone working such a huge Dave-fic prior to Heart and On My Way would have problems taking the new events and working them into the story. Especially OMW. Glad to hear there is potential for another Dave-fic too!

I'm definitely very curious and could come up with all kinds of questions but for now, I think I'll leave you alone and look forward to reading the fic "spoiler-free." But I may just break down and PM you eventually ;)
