Disclaimer: Story order subject to change. Priority updates for Crisis by popular demand, though I may pepper you with the occasional oneshot or two if the Muses so decide.

I haven’t written as much as I’d like to have for the last couple of months; real life has been, to say the least, challenging. But we’re all happy, healthy and good, and that’s fine for now. :-)

So I finally got Orchestrato, my first Chlex fic, off the ground, yay! :-) It’s been very well-received, and I am now champing at the bit to crank out the next update. I hope to do a chapter-update of all my WIPs over the next four weeks whilst at the same time quietly working on my two (two!) smallvillebbang stories which will both be posted in their entirety by the end of the year. From the look of things, neither of them should be as long as Agenda was…but then, I didn’t think Agenda would go beyond 25K words, and I ended up with twice that amount and then some. So we’ll see. Mari2anne can well attest to my inability to keep to fic length projections. ;-)

I know in my earlier updates post I’d listed Reanimation as my second Big Bang fic…yah, that’s all changed. It’s still a Chlark fic, but it’s now one called Undercover Lover.

Undercover Lover was a surprise for me. It all started from an amazing banner given to me as a gift from the lovely purple_moon123, and it told a story all its own. Then I got an amazing prompt from the secret_chlark entries which dovedtailed and fitted the banner idea quite nicely, so I started writing it - and then about a week to secret_chlark completion, I realised I was already about 10K words into it, but I wasn’t going to be able to to do it justice the way it deserved. So I took the decision to temporarily shelve Reanimation in favour of Undercover Lover for smallvillebbang 2012 because UCL has the benefit of already been more than halfway completed! Never fear, though; Reanimation will still definitely get written, just not this year.

I have my betas for both Disintegration and Undercover Lover, so we’re good to go for the Big Bang! I’m so excited for Disintegration; it’s been a long time since I worked on my original Chlollie series, so it requires both a major re-read and a complete review of Season 8. Not the most robust of Chlollie seasons, but by the time I’m done with it, you’ll have a whole different view of that entirely!

Somewhere in the middle of all the above, I will definitely write the two Chlollie shorts I promised sweet_jesus1 ages ago, and then I have Beauty in the Breakdown X: Snow Angel which is clawing at my insides to be written. How I’ll get them all done, I don’t know, but patience is always the key with me. :)

And that’s the state of things in Chez Dee’s Backroom of Fanfic. Later! :-P
