Working on some fic set closely in the GPF and the timeline seems a little unclear. As I understand it, unlike the events leading up to it, the final usually has a full day off for the men between the short and free programs. For example, the schedule from 2016 [PDF]. But is that necessarily always the case?

From the anime, this is how I understand the timeline:

Have I missed anything? Is this your understanding too? Would you find it jarring for fic to assume the short and free programs happen on consecutive days instead?

I wrote four stories in two fandoms; my main assignment, a pinch hit, and two treats. That's the most I've ever done for an exchange!

Foundation
Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov, Yuri!!! on Ice, 2200 words, Explicit
Developing Relationship, Semi-Public Sex, Non-Penetrative Sex, Intercrural Sex
Victor does Yuuri's makeup before competitions.

My main assignment and a look at Yuuri and Victor through a narrow lens. My favourite thing about this story was Yuuri getting progressively bolder. ♥


After-Party
Otabek Altin/Yuri Plisetsky, Yuri!!! on Ice, 2700 words, Teen And Up Audiences
Developing Relationship, First Kiss, Kissing, Cranky Yurio
After the Grand Prix Final Banquet, there is an after-party. But no one will let Yuri in.

The pinch-hit, some sweet OtaYuri. There's only a glimpse but my favourite thing in this story was Phichit with glitter on his face. He would rock that look.


Oh My God, Finally
Phichit Chulanont/Christophe Giacometti, Yuri!!! on Ice, 1700 words, Explicit
Established Katsuki Yuuri/Victor Nikiforov, Humor, Drunk Sex, Hand Jobs, Blow Jobs
At the GPF post-banquet after-party, Chris and Phichit do a little roleplay to mock Victor and Yuuri and end up suprising themselves.

My first proper humour story in YOI; I don't know why it took me so long. Two after-party stories in the same exchange and both in Chris's room -- but it's such a fun set-up. My favourite thing has to be Phichit pretending to be Yuuri. He's very good at it.


Heart, Candy, Kiss
Kuroo Tetsurou/Tsukishima Kei, Haikyuu!!, 1000 words, Teen And Up Audiences
Established Relationship, Teasing, Humor, Let's face it they're both assholes
Tsukki's texts to Kuroo become suspiciously frequent and romantic.

Oh, Haikyuu!! I don't know why I haven't written a million stories for you. This was so fun to work on, these two have such a snarky relationship. My favourite thing was, of course, Bokuto. In fact, I kind of want to go back and edit Bokuto into both the YOI party stories because he would make everything even better. Also, I learned how to make a work skin to show the emojis properly.


I received three stories in two fandoms! The first one here was a late treat which was such a delightful suprise! All rare pairs, which is so awesome. I loved these all. ♥

burning with desire for a kiss by claudine
Mila Babicheva/Sara Crispino, Yuri!!! on Ice, 800 words, Explicit
Friends With Benefits, Canon Compliant, First Time, Slice of Life with Sex

But Not For Me by havisham
Christophe Giacometti/Victor Nikiforov, Yuri!!! on Ice, 2800 words, Explicit
Pre-Canon, Friends With Benefits, Angst and Porn, significant haircuts
Chris won gold, once.

Stuck With Me by Marks
Tezuka Kunimitsu & Inui Sadaharu, Prince of Tennis, 300 words, General Audiences
Inui sat down on the bench. He’d considered the odds and decided that Tezuka probably wouldn’t get up.

I'm in that stage with my WIP where it's not so much a WIP as a jumble of notes and despair. The problem with "just write X words per day" is that it doesn't really leave time for this part of the process: the ruminating and complaining and taking walks and creating the fucking outline, which, for character-driven stories, is so difficult for me.

Do you have a method for kick-starting that process? Just barf some words onto the page and see how that goes? Force a friend to listen to you ramble? Outline the emotional beats you need to hit and then fit the canon/made-up scenes around that? (That's not a bad idea, actually.) Procrastinate on social media?

In other news, I haven't been reading a lot of fic in YOI so far -- when I'm writing a lot in a fandom, especially when it's new, I tend not to read very much -- but I read almost everything in Choc Box (except some threesomes and a crossover) and it was great! So one of my goals is to do a bunch more reading, especially for rare pairs. But I may need to wait until this WIP is drafted to jump on that.

Another goal is to write something for YOI that's more plot-driven and light-hearted. YOI came along at a time when I was longing for a fandom with adult characters with sexual histories that I could write dirty porn about without having to age characters up first. (Not aging up for purity reasons; more wanting the characters to be sexually experienced.) And I have SO enjoyed that! But it's pretty far from my usual sports-series fare. (That said, the Idea Jar is far too full of stuff that makes me go, "Ooh, everyone is going to hate that but I'm going to write it anyhow.")

How do you pick which ideas to write (or draw or vid or ...)?

I was trying to get this posted for Chris's birthday on Feb 14 but did not finish in time, alas! I've been thinking about this premise for quite a while and finally got on to it. Also, as I said on Twitter, my YOI fic seems to be 95% guys messily banging in hotel rooms and it’s making want to get a hazmat suit for my next biz trip.

Now to get my head into the game for the last Chris/Georgi instalment. If I disappear for a while, that's why. I write that pairing better when I'm basically just obsessing over it.

I've done some reading through the rest of the archive and have more to do yet. Hope to get through the fandoms I'm interested in before reveals.

Next on the agenda: replying to DW comments and catching up on flist!

A few things to keep in mind, about Yuri!!! on ICE and about any canon.

Word of God is not canon. What's on the screen or on the page is canon. Word of God is supplementary material that you are welcome to incorporate but you are not obliged to. We do not live in a universe where Greedo shot first!

Actions speak louder than words. People don't always say what they mean. They don't always know what they mean. When they try to explain their motivations after the fact, they may get them wrong or they may not be able to admit their true motivations. That applies whether you're taking a Doylist or Watsonion point of view.

Just because Kubo or Yuuri says, "hey, looking at these matching gold rings that canonically engaged couple JJ & Isabella are wearing makes me want to go buy a matching set of expensive gold wedding bands to wear on our wedding band fingers and exhange them with Victor on the steps of a church -- it will be just like that time my high school handicrafts club sewed matching bookmarks for everyone!" doesn't mean that was actually Yuuri's motivation, even if Yuuri tells himself it is. Or Kubo tells us it is.

People can't always articulate their feelings. One anime scene that strongly impressed me in years gone by was in Nana. Early on, Hachi and her boyfriend are away on a trip together. She asks him to tell her that he loves her. At first he says, "Don't ask a Japanese man to say that!" But he can tell she really wants to hear it, so he starts psyching himself up to it: I'm an American. My name is Michael. But he still can't say it and in the end, Hachi says it's okay, she heard him say it in her heart.

Obviously, not everyone will have that much trouble speaking about their feelings, but it's something to keep in mind.

Your interpretation is valid. I can interpret Yuuri and Victor's relationship in a lot of different ways and I really love that. You do you.

Personally, you will never convince me that Otabek is a DJ.

So, this happened after all. My reward for finishing my Choc Box fic and also for suffering through a cold the last few days. This is only the 9th story in this fandom on AO3 but at least it's not a rare pair!

Res Gestae

Feb. 5th, 2017 10:16 am

✔ Finished & uploaded Choc Box fic(s)

✔ Caught up on AO3 comments

✔ Avoided dropping all my YOI & tenipuri WIPs to write ACCA porn (believe me, this is an actual accomplishment, at least this week!)

✔ Started making notes on the next Chris/Georgi instalment; should be the end of the narrative arc and I'm going to be both sad and relieved to be done. I've had the ending in mind for a while but now I have to work out how to get them there. Also, do more canon review. Chris at the GPF really kills me, I feel so sad for him. And when Victor says he's returning to skating, I can't help but feel deeply sad for Georgi as well. *kicks Victor in the shin*

✔ Started thinking maybe my potential exchange commitments for February and March are a bit much! But I really want to do all of them, so I don't know. "Moderation in all things" is a lesson I've never been able to internalize.


Res Not So Gestae

𝙓 Did not catch up on LJ/DW comments, but soon, soon.

𝙓 Various life chores still undone, but that's chronic.

𝙓 Gave up on a Choc Box treat I hoped to write based on realizing I needed to get on with other WIPs.

𝙓 Did not get any back catalogue AO3 archiving done. To be honest, it's mostly that I don't want to spam people who have subbed to my updates with X-Files fic I wrote 18 years ago. If there's a way to add back-dated fic without triggering update emails, I would love to know what it is.


In other news, I hope you're all having/have had a great weekend!
