Fandom Absence Explained
Sorry, TMNT peeps, I've been so immersed in music--which is what I actually do--that all my fanfic projects have sort of come to a halt. It's not that I don't plan to work on them sometime, but I've finally started writing music again, and I want to keep doing it while the inspiration lasts. I always get frustrated when someone leaves a great project unfinished to pursue original projects that I will probably never get to see. Really, if I had proper recording equipment and a voice that could shift from female to male, I'd share my music projects, too.
Right now I'm working on a musical. I'm really, really excited about it and wish I could say something that would make it, like, make sense that I'm working on it and not fanfic. I feel so horrible for leaving anyone hanging.
That said, here's the status on each of my unfinished multichapters.
Counterplay (TMNT) is just way too epic. I plotted a zillion little things out and got overwhelmed. That's why I haven't updated it in over a year. I might consider working on it again if I had a cowriter to share the load with. I'm almost ready to shove my notes on it into someone else's hands and tell them to have a blast with it.
Unafraid (TMNT) is written about such a personal subject that I have a difficult time writing it unless I'm in a very particular state of mind. I think, for the most part, that it has served its purpose already. It's an unfinished story, but everyone knows how it's going to end and it helped me get some "things" out there. I haven't heard of anyone longing for it to be finished, so I'm going to assume I can work on it as it comes to me.
Katra (Star Trek XI) is the one I keep wanting to write again, and it'll probably be updated again before either of the others. It's just now gotten to where it feels like it's getting good, and I don't want to leave it there. I still get the itch to write it now and then, return to the characters and bring their story full circle. There are some exciting things coming up.
That's pretty much it. Sorry it's been so long.

And, I agree that a musical sounds cool. :)
