I am not doing NaNoWriMo this year, as much as I secretly and desperately crave to do so one of these days. (My laughable assumption that I'll be able to do it next year, let me show you it.) Nor am I doing WriSoMiFu, as much as the name makes me laugh, and as many original ideas as are actually percolating in my brain, because I do write at ten minutes a day every day whether I want to or not.
What I am doing, however, is using the Magical Writing-Intensive Month of November to make a concerted effort to write a ton of the due South s2 AU, which may or may not now be tentatively titled Neutral Zone just because I want to say something that is less of a mouthful than "due South s2 F/K/V AU." It is, among other things, my pet project since this last spring, and also what I have resolved to do for the dS Big Bang, which luckily is not due until well into next year. Still, I want to get as much of it done as I can, as soon as possible.
In the spirit of this, I would love to know if anyone would like to be involved in it, in a betaing/cheerleading/what-have-you capacity. I already have the world's best beta, at whom I wail at all hours and who puts up with a lot from me, but I feel like dumping this whole project on her and her alone is madness waiting to happen. In this vein, before you raise your hand and tell me you'd love to beta/cheerlead/whatever, understand that this goddamn fic is six parts long, only one of which is written, that said part is ~17500 words, and that if I don't burn out and run away crying to a secret base in the Caribbean or something, the whole thing will probably end up somewhere in the realm of 90,000.
That said, it's a potential 90,000 words of Fraser and both Rays having wacky adventures and emotional mixups and solving crime! Any takers?
