I think you should sign up :) At the very least, it'd motivate you to get the fic down even if you can't get it beta'd and revised in time. And who knows, maybe you'll surprise yourself! As you said, there's always November - 50K is the halfway mark, and you'll get that done in just a month. I believe you can get another 50K done fairly fast! I don't know the plot to your Epic Fic, but if it doesn't quite make it to 100K, you could do a sort of "1 year later" deal or something?
Yes, right now I'm tending towards signing up. I hope to finish the historical AU this weekend.
The fic will probably be long enough, so even though I haven't done a more detailed estimation, I'm pretty confident it would reach 100k. The story has an actual plot outside John and Rodney's relationship, so that's a plus.
It's an AU set in a fantasy world with a western/medieval feel (though with some modern technology), where the Wraith are human but no less terrifying. Rodney has a shield which protects him and at the beginning of the story he enters the only place on the continent that offers safety: The city of Atlantis. John is head of the security and makes Rodney part of his team, both to keep an eye on him and to use the shield to his advantage. In the course of the story, they fight the Wraith and have to uncover some secrets about each other, such as the origin of the shield and the truth about John's marriage to Teyla.
I hope you do sign up, though I'll understand if you don't!
Ooo, the fic sounds absolutely fascinating! I'm hoping John's marriage to Teyla is just a political marriage, lol. I'm weird about my ship being with other people. But ohh, I love fantasy AU's and the one you described above sounds absolutely amazing. And definitely like it has the potential to reach 100K!
I'm just like you when it comes to my ship being with other people. John's marriage to Teyla isn't political, but there are reasons and as Rodney will realize that the reasons leave him free to start a relationship with John. It's definitely a McShep fic!
