I'm a student, right? With a month till the end of the school year. In that month, besides all the homework and final projects, I have four fics I am currently working on:
A post-Paladin of Souls Iselle and Ista fic for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
femgenficathon
A Sarek/Amanda fic for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
trekreversebang
A Spock/Uhura reboot post-movie fic currently being betaed by the lovely![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
laurajv.
A Remix fic (for which I have yet to select a story).
That's a good number. Enough that I'm regularly working on something, not so much I can't keep track or get the ones with deadlines done before the deadlines.
Anyway, the S/U fic is all about them discussing "where we go from here" now that Vulcan is gone and T'Pring is dead and Spock explaining all about Vulcan culture and the possibilities for their relationship within Vulcan culture and Uhura Not Happy about all the stuff he's springing on her and his lack of flexibility on what it would mean for her and possible ways of blending their two cultures rather than her just going native like his mother did. Basically, it's my excuse to explore Vulcan culture and gender roles in fic, the fic which grew out of my meta on Vulcan culture and how it affects Worldbuilding in the New Reality. And one of the options Spock mentions is him marrying a nice Vulcan girl who stays home and takes care of the children (hers and Nyota's) and the home, while he and Uhura stay in Starfleet and have adventures together, and come home to visit on leave. Andlaurajv mentioned that now she really wants to read a fic about the nice Vulcan girl who's staying on the new Vulcan homeworld raising the kids, including some who are only 1/4 Vulcan. I was like, "dude, whatever, I ain't got time to write it and the reason for stopping the fic where I do is that I genuinely have no clue what Uhura's going to decide, or if she'll figure out some kind of workable compromise." And now, while I still don't know what the hypothetical wife's name would be, I know her backstory and who her best friend is and ... and I don't need another fic right now! I don't have time for it! And this is not something I could hand over to ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
bunny_support or prospectus because it's so tied up in my views on Vulcan culture and the backstory that has created itself and (unlike most plot bunnies I have) it would give me hives to try and read someone else's take on it.
