Meeting with Writing Buddy went incredibly well tonight. I have much food for thought and an idea of what is making my vampires ill. I might even know how I'm going to fix it, but I need to do some research first. And maybe figure out more about my 'verse's vampire physiology, and what the nanotech stuff does to it.

Poor not!Harry. You know, if I'd just left him dead, this would be a lot easier on him...

Also, I need to give not!Tony something more to do than look through a microscope and go "huh" every once in awhile. Something a little more action-y. He's supposed to be the putative hero of this thing, and all he's done so far is get shot and make inappropriate remarks to his PA.

Timeline and plot outline so far. Those would be excellent to have. Really.

*waves to new people on my flist, points* That right there? Is mostly what this is these days. For those of you who just started playing, the project herein referred to as the "not!kkbb/im fic" began life as a Kiss Kiss Bang Bang/Iron Man crossover fanfic, until some kind soul at WorldCon, sympathizing with my frustration at being forced (once again) by my oh-so-fickle Muse to write fanfic, said "Why don't you turn it into original fiction? Don't you already have a universe you can drop those characters into?" And he was right, and so I did, and it's turned into...a novel.

Understand that I'm not a natural novel writer. I don't do "long" that often. But this thing just. Won't. End. Which is fine because I've still got 34,000 words to go before I'm happy with the word count. Anyway, I generally refer to my stories in code, and they all have their own pet names. Most of the times the characters actually get to keep their actual names, but in this case I refer to them as not!Whatever-character-they-were-in-the-movies because I'm strange. So, we have not!Tony, not!Pepper, not!Harry, not!Harmony, and not!Perry (who has turned into a woman played, in my head, by Camryn Manheim, because that's how I roll).

And now that you've had this little glimpse into my (very strange) head, I hope I haven't scared you away. ;)

I'm to the point now where I might be seeing a light at the end of this tunnel--although I realized this morning that something my Writing Buddy and I discussed yesterday really won't work because my villain thinks it's pretty much over and has no reason to hunt down this other character.

Except, I just realized, that character is a loose end the villain might not want lying around.

Hm.

Gotta love process.
