NaNoWriMo Notions

I'm torn.  I feel like NaNo should probably be spent on original fic, but some of my most developed (and not already half-written) material happens to be fanfic.  Dilemma. 

The most promising fanfic idea I've got right now is an epic Doctor Who/Star Trek crossover where Klingons capture the TARDIS.  Fun, but derivative.

I have an original idea stewing, but there just isn't much to it yet.  Seems more crummy-SciFi-Original-Movie than 50,000-word-novel.  Must concoct subplots.  This whole experience is going to be odd.  I'm not used to launching into a novel after so little development time.  But perhaps it's a good thing, as most of my ideas have yet to make it out of Development Hell.

Once more, I am here, if anyone wants a NaNo buddy.

I was going to write a short vampire story for a sort of fic challenge earlier this year and just never got around to it, so now's the time for me. Plus, I think the entire Twilight series is unintentionally hilarious. Partly because of those books, I'm actually interested in writing about my own vampires.

BTW, I added you as a buddy. :)

Good luck with it! The nice thing about NaNo is that the emphasis is on quantity, not quality. Bring on the vampires, lol! You are on my buddy list as well.
