BAUplan - helicopter

current chapter word count: 4384
scene written today: from Haneda to Shibaura wharf (235 words)
research done for those 235 words: rescue helicopter markings in Japan; height of the Yurikamome train tracks above streetlevel opposite Fuji shipping offices (sadly too low); layout of train tracks, railway yard, and high-rises in Ota and Shinagawa City.
to be addressed: reconnection with the Sakura.
to be decided: pov character for that.
scene next: shipping yard

quote of the day:
“Come in low from the west. Don’t go over water.”

Overall, writing was slow this vacation. Too much real life stuff to address, I guess. On the other hand, when a scene popped up, it always had the required clarity for making writing a breeze - even though it usually happened way too late a night(s). :)

Snowflake Challenge #6: List of Fannish Wishes

snowflake_challenge #6: make a list of things that you wish existed in fandom or elsewhere, or that you'd like someone to make for you...

Numbering for convenience only.

1. Let's start with something smutty. I'd love to see the initial premise of the Chinese web novel Forced Estrus (so NOT SAFE FOR WORK) of a transformed alpha-general used in a culture-detailed, in-character(!) fic for Reinhard von Lohengramm (A) and Yang Wen-Li (O) of Legend of the Galactic Heroes. [fic wish]
   
   
2. I wish there were a tagged, searchable fanart archive similar to the AO3 but for artwork, linked to the stories on AO3 (frontispieces, illustrations) if possible. [fandom infrastructure]
   
   
3. I'd love to get an icon depicting the logo of Sakura Enterprises Inc. I actually started on doing that fanart, but it was one of the projects that got shelved for time constrictions and is unlikely to be revived in a timely manner. [TBX Decagram icon]
   
   
4. Related to the previous wish: anybody's got an idea about how a logo for the Sumeragi that's not just a plain pentacle would look like? [TBX Decagram discussion]
   
   
5. I wish somebody would write a fic that deviates from the Guardian canon right before all the time travel stuff and finish it in terms of a science fiction / space opera story rather than a barely concealed fantasy / horror plot of sacrifice. (Also, something in my mind still wonders which ship of the gargantuan fleets of the Legend of the Galactic Heroes crashed there after which battle to create the Guardian premise; was it of the Empire, of the Alliance, or were there ships of both? *g*) [fic wish - canon revamp]
   
   
6. totally gathered from solo (because I just don't think in general terms that much!): more of my fandoms in comms on Dreamwidth instead of Twitter / Tumblr. TT are just not good interfaces for fandom discourse and ficworks.
