Midnight Oil, checking in!

[(Anonymous)]

Hihi, everyone!

So glad to see the return of the writing post. C: My canon review this year was simple, as it's my first year to be matched on a movie! A very different experience than having to speed-read and speed-notetake multiple hard copy volumes.

I've been to two write-ins so far, including one this afternoon. I'm in the rough outlining stage, and reached 1,500 works! I'm about 2/3rds of the way through the fic, I think. 2k projected total for the outline, and the expanding and fleshing out of the fic more than doubles the length. I estimate the final version will be about 6k. Shorter than I though it would be! We'll see how it goes. :D

And I still plan to write that one treat this year! A shorter (for me) assignment fic would definitely help me accomplish that.

Hi Midnight Oil!

You sound amazingly productive. Keep going!

I'm in the rough outlining stage, and reached 1,500 works!

I know what you mean, obviously, but it still amuses me to imagine you disqualifying something for Yuletide (and a half) all in one go...

Good luck!

-frofa, who is so very behind, ahgh.

Hihi, frofa!

Oops. Ah, those pesky typos! Much as I wish I could be so productive as to disqualify a fandom by writing so many fics!! (Hopefully each one being at least readable!)

Thanks for the good luck wishes! C: I'm swamped with work for the next couple days, but I plan to poke the outline again later this week. :3

I hope you've had some success with your fic, frofa!!
