deemoyza(A little early, but hey, whatever.)
I like to take advantage of any time my brain isn't snarling and snapping and flailing around like a rabid weasel, so I wrote two fics this past week, both for Transistor.
The first was finally clearing out a Tumblr prompt from last June, but it isn't a very happy story. I'm proud of it, regardless, and the prompter liked it, too. (They said I wrote a good Auden, and that made my day! I love that guy to bits, so it's nice to know I can do him justice. :D)
And because I felt bad about handing the fandom this downer fic, I also finished up a mild hurt/comfort fic that I've been picking away at since December. I'm not sure how I feel about this one; as a direct sequel to another fic, it probably won't get as much traffic, and I'm not sure it's representative of my strongest writing. But there are only so many ways to describe removing hand wraps, and I think the emotion around it is done pretty well. Anyway, I'm just glad to get this little idea out there. :)
So, let's see how these fics impacted my word count:
Total words written this week: 3,394
Total words written this year: 13,599
Hmm, not bad, considering the weeks lost to the rabid weasel in my head! :)
ETA: I did some light editing on the second story, and I like it a whole lot better, now. Amazing what tweaking a few paragraphs can do for one's confidence in a fic!
