WIP Update #3

[rodo]

Almost done! With the typing/first edit, at least.

Drafted chapters: 17/17 ✓
Typed up chapters: 16/17 (72,343 words) ETA: and I'm done! 17/17 (76,999 words)✓

Which means there’s only one chapter and the epilogue to go, and I estimated the total length pretty well. I’m a bit unsure about the last chapters at the moment. Not because they’re bad, but because I get a feeling that readers might think they’re rushed. The thing is, I’ve done everything with the story that I want to do with it, and I’ve more or less wrapped up all the story arcs, emotional and plot-wise. If I add more chapters, they will be filler, more missions that don’t add anything to the story except a buffer between one chapter with important content and another. Hopefully, I’ll figure out what to do on re-read.

Also, as of now, I’ve written 85,194 words this year. Which means I’ve met my getyourwordsout pledge and can take off November and not do NaNo! Which is good news, because I’ll be busy in November. I was last year as well, but this means more time for Yuletide.

Thanks! I'm super happy I made it this far! Now I'm going to let the fic rest for a bit before I read it from the beginning in one go and make annotations, like you suggested!

I've never been able to test it on something of that length yet, looking forward to hearing how it works out for you (or not /o\). Best of luck!!
