Works in progress? Depends on how you define "progress." Anyhow, here's
jjtaylor's Summarize Your WIPS meme.
Remission
Remus: I used to be a werewolf. Now I'm not sure what I am.
Snape: Why are you telling me this, exactly?
Remus: Dunno. Haven't got any living friends. Any chance you might have sex with me?
Snape: Are you any good at it?
Remus: No.
Snape: Well, I suppose it's still marginally better than talking to you.
Campfire Tales
Fraser: Once upon a time, there was a poor tailor.
Ray: One time I had sex with a guy.
Fraser: Your stories are much better than mine.
DementorDelta's origfic
Res: OK, guys. Time for some more taboo cross-species sex with lots of instructions and comic missteps.
Fin and Ch'rt: We're college students. Don't we need to actually study sometimes?
Res: Shut up.
Found
Harry: That's it. I'm outta here.
Snape: Not so fast. You're coming back with me.
Harry: Make me.
[wild sex]
Harry, once he catches his breath: There are some problems in this scenario, you know.
Snape: Yes. Unfortunately, as the writer has already written the sex, the story no longer holds her interest.
Res: I'm interested. Really. But first I have to make some tuna salad.
Harry and Snape: That's what you said in April, and also in March.
Res: [eats tuna salad with her back ostentatiously turned]
Harry: Rock, scissors, or paper?
Snape: What did I do to deserve this?
Untitled triosmut #1
Hermione: Girls are different from boys. Let me explain it all to you.
[sex]
Untitled triosmut #2
Hermione: There's a trick to anal sex. Let me explain it all to you.
[sex]
Untitled triosmut #3
Ron: International Apparation is really exhausting. Hey, which one are you?
Harry or Hermione: Does it matter, really?
Ron: No.
[sex]
Untitled triosmut #4
Hermione: I don't want to have sex as often as you two do.
Harry and Ron: Fine. We'll start without you.
Hermione: Hang on. Changed my mind.
[sex]
Untitled triosmut #5
Harry: How come you always get to be on top?
Ron: The writer thinks it's hotter that way.
Harry: I protest.
Ron: Fine. You take a turn, then.
Hermione: Where am I when all this happens, again?
Ron and Harry: Studying astronomy.
Hermione: Oh, hell.
Untitled HP/SS Monster
Part 1, Section 1
Snape: [does unforgiveable thing]
Harry: [doesn't forgive him]
Part 1, Section 2
Dementors: Gotcha.
Harry: Not really.
Part 2, Section 1
Harry: I still don't forgive you.
Snape: This would be implied by the word "unforgiveable," wouldn't it.
Harry: Bastard. Angry sex?
Snape: Sure.
Part 2, Section 2
Res: OK, guys. The plan here is for something dramatic and cathartic to happen that will resolve everything happily. Any ideas?
[crickets chirp]
Res: Damn.
Untitled Due South story
Fraser: Ray's in my closet. This must mean he's dead.
Ray: Not really.
Fraser: My relationships with dead people are fraught and difficult, but on the whole I'd have to say they're better than my relationships with living people.
Res: This is awfully similar to "Beyond Embarrassment."
Cesca: I don't mind. Really. Steal from me, go ahead. Just write me something that doesn't involve underage wizards or aliens with pouches.
Fraser: So Ray's death can only improve our friendship.
Ray: It's just a flesh wound.
Untitled Shanghai Noon story
Julad: If you don't have a title, you don't know what the story's about.
Res: You're right. But I've got some nice sex. Isn't that enough?
Chon and Roy: Yes.
Julad: No.
Res: Damn.
Five Times
Fraser: I'm not going to stay in Canada, really.
Ray: Yes, you are, but I'm going to get mine before you go.
[sex]
Ray: You know what we did last night under the influence of adrenaline? Any chance of doing that again in the cold light of day?
Fraser: Sure.
[sex]
Ray: I'm engaged.
Fraser: Congratulations.
[sex]
Fraser: I'm not going to be able to stand it here much longer.
Ray: I know.
[sex]
Res: The formula requires five plots, guys, not four.
Ray and Fraser: We'll handle the sex. The plots are your problem.
Res: Damn.
Green Earrings
Hermione: [primps]
Angelina and Katie: [pounce]
Hermione: I feel pretty, oh so pretty!
Res: Was there some point to this?
Angelina, Katie, and Hermione: Wish fulfillment?
Res: Oh. OK. Carry on, then.
Cannily, Cannily
Snape: I had a miserable childhood. Now I plan to pass it on.
Res: This is depressing. Couldn't you have sex?
Snape: Can I make anyone miserable by having sex with him?
Res: Slash doesn't cover that kind of sex.
Snape: In that case, I'll stick to pedagogical pursuits, thank you.
Res: Then welcome to Perpetual WIP Limbo.
Snape: Everyone here is miserable. I think I'm going to like it here.
The Project
Harry and Snape: We've got to what?
Res: Have sex and save the world.
Harry and Snape: I thought you didn't write that kind of story.
Res: Apparently I don't.
O Canada
Ray: Don't kid yourself. You're never going to write this one.
Res: But I have these great notes about the RCMP dentist reenactors.
Ray: Uh-huh. From two years ago.
Res: And Fraser was going to teach you to speak French.
Fraser: Ray, perhaps she really will finish what she --
Jim and Blair: Don't bet on it.
Fraser: Oh, dear.
Res: I hate you.

This especially made me giggle. Not like it matters. I'm a res whore. I'd read anything you wrote.

Date: 5/26/04 11:31 am (UTC)I felt like that at first, and also like I was giving away all my best plots. And then it began to seem more amusing to me than actually working on any of the stories. (Procrastination conquers all, eventually.)
(no subject)
Date: 5/20/04 01:48 pm (UTC)Hey, explaining anal sex and arguing about who gets to be on top...those ARE plots. They ARE, dammit!

Date: 5/26/04 11:34 am (UTC)So far I have about five pages of feverish notes, about five more pages of weird Occlumency scenes, and no clue at all how to resolve it.
If you'd care to offer ideas, e-mail me (resonant8(at)att(dot)net) and I'll give you a quick rundown of what happens. Someone has to figure out how to turn it all into a happy ending.
Please Liberate them from WIP Limbo
Date: 5/20/04 06:12 pm (UTC)I'm preparing my dance of joy in anticipation of the day you'll post a new DS story. I'm also drooling at the prospect of more triosmut, Res femslash, and greatly intrigued by the Untitled HP/SS Monster.
So please, put down the tuna sandwich and write! Pretty please?
