Future fannish projects--advice?

luzulaI have two stories reasonably close to posting. *looks smug and accomplished*
Hmm, I have also realized that I do, in fact, have a WIP which is potentially meaty enough for a Big Bang. It's the post-CotW F/K story where Ray K goes to Depot and becomes a Mountie. It would have two intertwined storylines, one in the past, where Ray and Fraser have relationship problems stemming partly from Ray's lack of a real job. Yeah, I know that's been done before, but I also want to bring up the whole two-people-living-alone-in-a-cabin thing. Because I realize that's a nice fantasy and all, but I'd like to bring more community into their lives, and have that be part of the solution of their relationship problems. And then there's a storyline in the present, where Ray and Fraser are Mountie partners and search for a kid who's gone missing. Which sounds a lot likesageness Big Bang story, I know, but there'd be some differences, too.
There may be shallow aspects to this story, as well. Like Ray in a brown RCMP uniform. Ngggh.
So, I could maybe sign up for Big Bang. I mean, I wrote 10,000 words in a month this summer, so 20,000 in half a year should be doable. And nothing's going to happen if I drop out, either.
Yeah, that leaves DSSS. I'm still not sure about whether to do that. *dithers and thinks of all kinds of arguments for and against*
I'm also thinking about what to record for my next podfic project. Maybe "The Reaching Out One", by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
alex51324? I love it, and it also has alternating POV, which is a definite plus for me when I'm podficcing. It'd be about 7 hours long, though, which is a lot.
For now, please comment at the LJ entry.

I've also thought of a benefit to doing DSSS: I could ask for stuff that I want! I would totally request Fraser family gen.
