I haven’t rambled again in a while oops but I have been writing. I haven’t missed a day since I last rambled.
Since then I finished that “AU of an AU” and I’ve been working on Choosing Fate. I really wish that I had a beta reader, I think I’ve said this before, because I could do with another set of eyes. I want to know if it’s boring to read. Basically I’m worrying that it’s not any good. I don’t know why because I only had one person (maybe two) read Our Darkest Hour so it’s not like I’ve got many people to disappoint.
Anyway, I’m starting to get a better feeling on the stories direction. A couple of days ago I hit a point and I wasn’t sure where to go next. I mean I have the ending but it’s the middle part, I wasn’t sure how to structure it. But since then the threads have started to come together.
You know I posted the bulk of my Rumbelle fanfic between May 2016 and May 2017. There were a few little stories after that but nothing to write home about. That was over 500k in a year. Heady days, a fandom obsession and like a lot of things that burn hot it didn’t last. A lot of that was to do with things that were going on IRL but I think the passion also faded.
Since then I’ve written odd things but nothing got my attention the same way. Nothing until … Sanctuary. I don’t know why it grabbed me so hard but it has. I started writing November 1st last year and I’ve gone over 100k already. Heady days, a new obsession. I also love that even though I get crickets, I’m still just as passionate about this OT3.
True I miss having fellow fans to bounce off. There’s an energy to that which I miss, and yeah sure comments are lovely and don’t get me wrong I’d love more. But I do find myself content enough with just the journey. I love writing for this OT3, for this show, I love immersing myself in that world. I’ve already started taking notes for the actual AU (my next big fic) and I haven’t finished this multi-chapter yet.
I don’t know when this obsession will fade, though I’m sure it’ll happen sometime. Until then however 🙂
