*yawn* So I missed Evil Author Day ...

... Because I was busy with the third draft of my smallfandombang:

16600 / 10000 words. 166% done!

I think it posts in April? This is the 7th (long-promised) story in my Olympus Has Fallen Ben/Mike series, that's been on the back burner for ages, largely unmentioned because I wasn't sure it ever would be done. I may or may not add an epilogue after I have a chance to see London Has Fallen; we'll see. Meanwhile, it's with the artist now, and finally off my list of "Stories to Finish in the Year of Finishing Stories."

... Anyone want to beta? I don't need much in the way of SPAG, but general commentary would be welcome.

Evil Author Day? Do I even want to know? :)

That's a fabulous word count! Congrats and how do you do it?

February 15 is supposed to be International Fanworks Day? And several people on my f'list celebrate by posting clips of all their works in progress and calling it Evil Author Day. I meant to do it this year, but didn't make it.

And thanks - no idea, I just kept adding scenes until it felt complete enough? :) Writing for a bang is a weird process for me compared to writing specifically for short stories, it involves a lot more research and biting my fingernails and coming obliquely to the point rather than trying to encapsulate everything in one scene, and I haven't completed one in a while, so it was the goal to do one or two this year between other things. I made it! But I feel a lot more nervous about these compared to the short stuff.

I missed that. I'll have to mark it in my calendar for next year. Sounds like fun. :D

Writing in general for me lately has been hard. All the overtime from work makes me not want to do much once I get home. Hopefully I can snap out of this mindset soon and work will settle down once the merger is complete.
