W-i-n-n-e-r, that spells me
Jun. 14th, 2008 10:47 pmZutara fic o' doom, status so far: Completed! 11 chapters, 24,798 words, pre-edits. *takes victory lap prematurely* I'm not really sure if that total will dwindle or build as I realize I've shorted myself. Now, in theory all that's left to do is to complete the dreaded editing phase of life. (ugh). And possibly to check that there is some continuity, and hope that no one would question my claim on English as a first language. Or my sanity, whichever comes first. My first drafts tend to get posted a lot, with minor superficial "And that was the wrong spelling, idiot" fixes, which says a lot about my commitment to my writing. But at some point, I get so tired of seeing it. XD Rewrite? Yeeeah.
Being bored out of my skull, I wandered... ff.net is too scary barring recs for Avatar.
And then I found the kink meme. I blinked. I'd seen one of those before for another fandom... and wow, those are some creative people. Just reading the headers was an education in itself and I... didn't get very far. Interesting pairings. Um. Then again, this is the person who inadvertently-on-purpose wrote Ozai/Katara and then neglected to write the plot that went around it. I have no room to talk.
No, I changed my mind. Summary for posting fic first. Who knew summarizing almost 25k words into a single sentence without sounding like a buffoon would be so hard? I can get four or five statement sentences out of it. Someone is nearly killed while a guest in the Fire Lord's home. Someone is pregnant. Someone is kinda in love and too male to figure it out. Meanwhile, someone is out to complete that killing. And the second it shoehorns together it sounds like melodramatic tripe you couldn't even pay me to read. And if I can roll my eyes at my own summary, then we have problems. The good news, that's kind of necessary for it to post, so... Yup. That'll be sorta necessary.
