Snowflake Challenge #9: Something to be proud of

[rodo]

snowflake_challenge: Challenge #9:
In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, time you spent in the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.

I wrote a fic! Well, a longfic, I write other kinds of fic pretty often, so that’s not news. But this one is 77k, which dwarfs any of the other fics I’ve finished so far, the longest of which is 24k. I’ve drafts that are longer, but the really difficult part for me is finishing those drafts and then polishing them up a little.

Of course, the fic hasn’t been posted yet because it really needs a beta, and since it’s for Carnival Row, my chances of finding someone who can check for more than SPAG is pretty low. So, it’s up to anyone’s guess if I’ll ever publish the fic, but even if I don’t, I finally have a longfic to read in a fandom that has zero.

That's a fantastic word count!

Oh wow, that is incredible!

Congratulations on finishing.

That's a great word count - and I'm slightly envious of you now *looks at all her longfic bunnies that remain unwritten*

And I'd be willing to help beta a Carnival Row fic if you can wait a little (I've got a pretty full schedule right now and would need to rewatch season one)...

Congrats! That is a lot of words for sure. Finishing and editing can be a struggle so go you for completing something that long! :D

Great job! 77k is truly impressive, and more so when it's for a fandom that has little or no engagement.

Congratulations! The word count is impressive.

that's... a long fic. congrats on finishing it! i have that problem too - if i don't have a deadline there's a 99.44% chance i'll never finish. so even if your fic isn't ready to post, it's still done, and that's pretty fabulous.

Wow!

That's almost two novels worth of writing. Go you!
