The first chapter of the continuation of "Necessity" is up on FFN, and I've changed the name of the story to "A Conflict of Interests" with "Necessity" as its first chapter. It's only a portion of what I've been working on, but ehh, I suppose it's still pretty hefty at 2700 words.
Also, I axed the poll. I'm going to let the story just write itself. No intervention from Jaslazul.

Small update
My total for last night reached 4,649 words, making it the second-highest number I've ever done in a day (the other was on that 13,000-word original short story that I did a while back). So, in the past two days, that means I've written over 8,000 words. Maybe the whole NaNoWriMo thing is feasible after all.
Anyway... the 8000 of the past two days has been split between two fanfics. The first is the "Necessity" continuation (answer the poll on my profail, please), and the second is another fic that has a funny story to it.
I started the most recent one with only two paragraphs in my mind, one of which was one sentence. I started the fic, having no idea where it was going, and 4200 words later, I've been quite pleasantly surprised. The story has, for the most part, taken off and left me and written itself, which is normally a good thing but weird this time because of where I ended up. I'd estimate that I'm about... three quarters of the way done with it, and I anticipate a large chunk of it being cut out during the editing process.
"Necessity" has a chapter done that I could post, but I don't want to start updating and not have anywhere to go. I want to have a few chapters finished before I start posting. I also need a new name for it, and I have no idea what that's going to be.
Au revior!

"Necessity" and...something else.
Well, I'm 4000 words into the new "Necessity" chapter... although I've reached a crossroads. Pleaaaaase respond to the poll on my profile.
Also, I've been working on another fanfic that... I'm not really sure what to do with. It's ending up way different than anything I've done before, to say the least.

"Necessity" continuation
I'm 1462 words into a new chapter of "Necessity" that I started tonight as part of a challenge. The end result should be interesting, but I'm not sure if I'll post it on FFN or not.
Edit: I got about 2300 words total into it last night. I also worked a bit on the other fic I've started, which may or may not make it on to the .net.

New composition up
Check out my music page to see some improvements to Triumph and a new piece, "Percussive Halloween," which I did it like three hours.
Quick update: my recent writing has been this Halloween story that I'm doing for school, which I may or may not make available, and in a fic I'm working on that has around 4000-5000 words in it right now.

Livejournal test
I've created a livejournal and transferred most of the posts on this blog over to it. I'm still working out the bugs and trying to figure out how to use LJ, but I think I'll eventually come to like it. For now, this place will be my primary updating page, but if you're interesting in seeing what the LJ looks like, check it out at jaslazul.livejournal.com. Give me your opinion if you like one journal better than the other.
Reorganization and rediscovery
So, in the past few days I've been going through my documents and finding stuff that don't really remember writing.
That said, some if it is actually better than I remember it being, and a few of the snippets might work if put into a larger context. There's also been something newer that I've been working on recently, though I won't say too much in case it turns out to be another false positive.
