so hey i did a thing
Wild Card, chap 1/89
587,330 words posted, so I definitely wrote over 600k. I started writing/posting this story around October 2013 and have been working on it ever since. There were some breaks for other projects, or for writing brain not working, but if you figure I had roughly 90 chapters and 3 years, that's 30 chapters a year. Slightly more than one every two weeks. It didn't always go that smoothly. Obviously.
This sprawling, messy, giant epic probably needs a massive editing hack, but you know what? I love it and I've posted this as is and no one's hated me except someone who somehow missed the wingfic tag and got grumpy because wings.
Also. I said this over on AO3 and it deserves saying again. This story is dedicated to, and in some ways exists because of, my darling tigertale7. It would not exist as it is without her, and whatever did exist would be a much lesser story. The flaws are wholly mine, though.
I'm ahead of my GYWO goal for the year but there's suddenly so much less pressure. Nothing else I've got in progress is being posted, so I have the luxury of writing whatever the hell I want and I'll post something when I finish it. I'm glad I did WC as a WIP because I might not have finished it otherwise but I don't think I want to do that again.
I'm...gonna sit here for a bit.
