deemoyza❀ I just finished the final edits on my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
rarepairexchange assignment. I really do try to use reveal delays to my advantage when I can. My main assignment came in at just over 7k words, over three chapters, while my (incredibly messed-up) pinch-hit fic ended up being about 4.8k.
❀ I am seriously considering orphaning that pinch-hit fic once creators are revealed. It's definitely not in keeping with most of my work. But it was fun to write, in a twisted sort of way. >:)
❀ I apparently did not learn my lesson from myhighadrenalineexchange experience, because I went ahead and signed up for another one of the Big 3, the Five Figure Fanwork Exchange (fffx). I'd ask for thoughts and prayers, but I obviously don't deserve them because...
❀ ...I'm getting ready to sign up for the third of the Big 3,ficinabox. 🙃 This one is interesting, because it allows writers to spread their 10k word requirement over up to 10 different works. But sometimes, more choices aren't better; I can just see myself agonizing over how many works to create rather than buckling down and hammering out 10k words. We shall see.
Well, at least I'll be busy.

Also wait the twisted fic is out in the wild!? Where is it I seek the darkness dkjflhjalskddjlf

Date: 2023-08-28 05:58 pm (UTC)The beauty of Fic in a Box is that you can decide how many pieces you want to write, so one big 10k+ fic can meet the requirements, but if a particular idea can't quite stretch that far, no worries, just toss in a couple short one-shots. It sounds complicated, but I think I'll get the hang of it. ;)
And YES, The Twisted Fic is out in the wild!!! Unfortunately, per the rules of the exchange, I'm not allowed to say which one it is until author reveals on Friday night. You're welcome to browse the exchange collection and take a guess or two, but until Friday (or, more accurately, very early Saturday), I can't say anything one way or another. I know, it's kind of a bummer, but think of it like Christmas. A twisted Christmas! >:}
