Year's end meme: writing
Jan. 5th, 2023 10:55 pmFlight of the Heron stories:
Three Strands, Braided Together, Keith/Ewen/Alison, >100K WIP
Steadfast Unto Death, Keith/Ewen, Ewen/Alison, 27,800 words
Their Loyalty and Firm Attachment, Keith/Ewen, 5,500 words
Other stories:
Whose Hand Was Thine in Earnest, The Wounded Name, Laurent/Aymar, 9,000 words
To Stay in Service, Jill - E A Dillwyn, Jill/Kitty, 4,200 words
To Meet Again As Equals, Jill - E A Dillwyn, Jill/Kitty, 8,500 words
Well, I wrote six fics this year! Which doesn't sound a lot, but one of them is a novel length WIP and one novella length, and my total word count is 155K. \o/ So I'm still going strong in Flight of the Heron fandom.
I have recently talked about my three Yuletide fics, but I am very pleased with my other three, as well. A first for me is that I have posted my WIP as I go, which I found a little scary at first, but my writing process is really very suited to this: I write linearly and don't usually need much revision of earlier chapters. And it's been lovely to have![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
sanguinity’s comments as I post! ♥ It's such a small fandom that I really appreciate that interaction. And speaking of interaction, my beta readers garonne and regshoe are both treasures. ♥
Both of my long stories this year have explored new character interactions in FotH: obviously the Keith/Ewen/Alison pairing is new to me and has been very rewarding to write, and that story also let me explore parts of the Rising I hadn't written before, as well as another possible future for Keith. And in the novella, I got to pull out all the stops and write an all-out tragic ending (though hopefully not entirely without comfort).
