Daylight's Haven

Warning: This story contains a lot of conjecture, random references, and name dropping.

Almost all the objects in this fic can be seen in Rip's study on the show. For a complete list of what I spotted while researching this fic check out my Guide to Rip Hunter's Study.

My NaNoWriMo novel is craptastic crap, but I just wrote 50,567 of non-fanfiction fiction so I am happy. I also wrote 1561 words of notes in lieu of editing though I did manage to change my main character's name about 10 times. Thank you Find/Replace! I'm probably going to have to write a whole bunch more notes within the next week so I don't forget everything that I'd like to change and possibly write an outline of how it should go. Yes, I write the novel; then I make an outline!

Things that helped with writing: Cookies! Nordic Ambient Music! Listening to Neil Gaiman read from his latest collection of short stories! Dance breaks!

Love to all NaNo Writers! I love writing with you!

So NaNoWriMo hasn't been going great this year. Attempting to write something original has been a bit tricky, but I felt I had to try. Nothing wrong with fanfic but it would be nice to be actually published one day if remotely possible. Anyway after a false start after realizing writing a bunch of short stories would probably actually be more difficult than writing a whole novel when writing original stuff, I deleted my first couple hundred words and started fresh on Monday. I then had to contend with work, massive cramps, an annoying cold, and my own inability to write anything remotely fast so I arrived today way behind on my word count and hating my horribly written story, but I found the solution. Reverse Chocolate Pecan Cookies! I get to eat one at least every 500 words and it seems to have worked. I wrote over 3500 words today. (And ate five cookies. I know that doesn't add up but I wrote the first 1000 before I bought the cookies)  I'm still far behind but I'm catching up. Unfortunately, this isn't going to work for everyday as it will seriously mess up my blood sugar levels, but I feel like I actually have a chance now. Anyway the way I see it, I've already written more original stuff than I have in years so even if I quit now, I've still accomplished something.

Lucky 7. Still so much more to go. Extremely doubtful I'll actually finish editing this NaNo before I start the next one.

Title: What Lies in Wait
Characters: Jack, Ianto, Gwen, Martha, Mickey, 8th Doctor

Spoilers: Takes place after the Doctor Who episode Journey's End and after the 8th Doctor audio To the Death.

Yay! Another Chapter! Not that anyone is actually reading this but that may be a good thing since then I don't have all these people waiting for me to finish editing. The story seems to have recently acquired a soundtrack of beautiful and gloomy Olafur Arnalds songs or at least listening to them seems to be helping me with my editing. Maybe I'll put it up at some point. Okay, on to the next chapter.

And here we go again. My desperate last minute attempt to finish editing at least one of my former NaNoWriMo novels before I start the next one. Maybe this year I'll actually manage to finish editing more than one chapter.

I can't seem to write short things anymore. I swear this never used to be a problem. I much prefer writing short things. They're a lot easier to keep in control.

Since this is a 5+1 fic, this should technically be the last chapter, but there is going to be a short epilogue because there is one last plot idea I have to put to rest.

Genre: Action, Angst, Humour, Family
