"Final" chapter of Wedding is Destiny (but not really)
If there's one thing I've learnt in the two and a bit years that I've been writing fanfic, it's that I'm ok writing arbitrarily many linked stories under 7000 words or so, but once any individual story gets longer than that I get all tangled up in the plot and flow.
Of course I found this out after I started my first fanfic, which will, when and if it's finished, be at least 40K words long and probably more like 50 or 60.
And so I've decided to wrap things up at a hopefully fairly satisfying place and start again with a series of shorter somewhat self contained follow on stories.
Title: Wedding is Destiny, and Hanging Likewise
Fandom: Pride and Prejudice
Wordcount: 35126
Rating: G
Characters: Mary Bennet, Anne de Bourgh, Lady Catherine de Bourgh, Charlotte Lucas, Mr Collins
Pairing(s): Mary Bennet/Anne de Bourgh
Summary: In which Mary Bennet becomes a companion to Anne de Bourgh and neither of them gets quite what they were bargaining for.
I need to fix up various spelling/grammar/consistency issues but as
hl can tell you, I am…less than quick about that sort of thing. Speaking of which,
hl deserves a medal for her patience with my impossible anxiety around the whole editing process, best beta ever :) (She bears no responsibility for any errors, there are whole chapters I didn't send her due to aforementioned anxiety, plus others where I think I accidentally overwrote her changes, ack)
