3. What I dislike about my fic- I think we were both surprised it wasn't longer.

lol. Glad that it was an easy write for you guys. xD

BTW, is that going to be it's final word count? Because they're supposed to have around 25,000.

Ahhhh, see, when both of us looked way back, it was 20K. So, apparently we're not done. That's gonna be a challenge. :)

I'm pretty sure that I've never changed the ending word count. The first draft only has to be from 18,000-20,000 words. That's just to make sure that everyone is close to done befoer we assign artists to the fic. We don't want an artist doing art for a fic that won't get completed.

Sorry, bb.

1. Current Word Count- 1327 words
2. What I like about my fic- It almost writes itself. I just have to be on the mood for angst.
3. What I dislike about my fic- It's not about the fic. It's mostly about my lacking time :(
4. What scene has surprised you? - In my mind I can see a super angsty scene where Kris and Adam have a great fight :P

lol. Time does seem to be the thing that nobody has enough of. But you got a little over a month left, bb. I'm sure you can do it. Espcially if the fic writes itself. Just gotta believe you can do it.

Oh, and ANGST! and a Fight Scene!!! I'm horrible but I love drama and angst. :)

1. Current Word Count- ~9,500
2. What I like about my fic- it's the longest i've EVER made a fic, and i'm nowhere near done! :D haha i was worried that i wouldn't make it to 25k, but it's looking like it'll get there :)
3. What I dislike about my fic- i'm super nervous about posting this, being my first full-length fic and all, so i keep stressing and trying to make it perfect. :P
4. What scene has surprised you? - idk. characters keep appearing, and i'm like, whaaat? how did you get in here!

Don't be nervous or get stressed, bb. It'll be okay. Nobody's perfect. Therefore, no one will ever be able to write a perfect fic.

BTW, do you have a beta yet? They'd be able to help with all that.

lol. xD

thanks!

lol. Okay. That's fine. I just know that a lot of betas like to be there during the writing process. And they'd help with any stree you're feeling.
You're welcome!

Here's the status of my fic:

Current Word count: about 44,000, and the fic is DONE

What I like about my fic: That it's done! At a certain point I had real trouble finishing it, but I figured it out. The story is an AU and I think quite different.

What I dislike about my fic: Nothing really, though I do keep nitpicking it, and it's not quite done being betaed, so I'll be editing some more..

What scene hs surprised you: Maybe not just one scene, but I think I got a mood across using imagery. I guess I'll hear about it!

Okay, now I have a question for you. When you say first draft submitted, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean all of my text since the fic is done or part of? Just wonderin.

Wow! Long fic. Me likes. :)

When the first drafts are due you can just send the whole thing in and make sure you state that it's finished. And then you won't have to send in another draft on the final rough draft date. Make sense?

1. Current Word Count - Only 5ooo words... yikes.

2. What I like about my fic - I'm enjoying the challenge of building a completely alternate universe while maintaining the characters as their recognizable fanon selves. It's HARD.

3. What I dislike about my fic - I worry there's not enough humour in it, which is my usual crutch when writing. Plus, I have it sketched out and I seriously doubt the story's going to make it to 25ooo words before playing out completely. Not sure what to do about that.

4. What scene has surprised you? - All the scenes with my Danny character [Daniel in the fic] are totally wigging me out. He's become this weird amorphous secretive guy and now I have no idea what to do with him.

lol. Yea, AUs are probably the hardest things to write for most people. But they're also the funnest! :)

Not every fic has to have a lot of humour in it tho. You can write one without a lot.

lmao! I kinda like it when people write Danny into stories cuz their take on him is always interesting. And you're sounds very good. :D
