GOALS
October Word Count Goal: 15,593 / 15,000

2021 Total Word Count Goal: 179,862 / 175,000

2021 Total Writing Days Goal: 221 / 220

Honestly just hitting my word count target, which I'm actually very pleased about because I wasn't sure I'd make it at all. Had an anticipated slow-down in writing due to RL busyness, and sadly had to end up nixxing my idea to finish my Drarry long!fic in time to post as an anti-advent fic, but overall I'm satisfied with my progressOCTOBER ROUND-UP
  • S8 Wincest Feelz: went through beta edits, did final read-through, and posted! You can read it here.

  • Drarry Long!Fic: wrote 4 and a bit scenes and officially decided to table the plans to finish in time for advent posting. It might have still been possible, but between RL obligations, travel, and modly stuff for Erised, it would have been really stressful.


  • hpkinktober: outlined, drafted, sent to beta, went through final edits and posted! You can read it here!

  • Drarry Gift Drabbles: finished writing and posted!

  • Vampire!Wincest: finished initial edits and sent to beta.

  • S1 Wincest Missing Scene: outlined, wrote, and did initial edits.

  • Wincest Does New Mexico: vaguely outlined.

  • Wincest Panty!Kink: tinkered with the draft and added about a hundred words.

  • Drarry Plotbunny: outlined, drafted, edited, and sent to beta!
NOVEMBER GOALS
November Word Count Goal: 15,000

This... might be ambitious? Between vacation and holiday travel, I'm going to be AFK probably close to half the month, and most of my limited fandom time will be delegated to various Erised modly duties. I also don't have anything super pressing in terms of deadlines, but I do want to try and keep some writing momentum, so I'm gonna shoot for 15k, though I'm guessing it might end up lower.

November Fics to Focus On
  • Vampire!Wincest: go through edits if I get back from beta.

  • A Relationship Unravels: go through edits if I get back from beta.

  • Drarry Plotbunny:go through edits if I get back from beta.

  • Wincest Weed!Fic: send to beta.

  • S1 Wincest Missing Scene: send to beta.

  • Wincest Season Codas: lowkey aiming to write one episode-specific coda/missing scene for every season, and so far I'm at 5/15. Would love to write one this month, I've just got to decide what season I'm in the mood for! I've got a couple of possible ideas jotted down for S13 so maybe I'll put that on and see what happens.

  • Wincest plotbunnies: not sure what is calling to me yet, but I'll likely pull from one of the three plot bunnies below that I've already outlined/started drating, or maybe I'll start something new.

Upcoming Fics / Stuff on the back-burner
  • Future
    daily_deviant: the comm is essentially on hiatus with no firm plans to return, but I'm planning to continue writing for it if they post themes or fest info.

  • Dream!Fic - HP: this is back on the back-burner as I've pulled in a different HP fic to work on for the moment.

  • Drarry Long!Fic: also moved to the backburner as I think I don't have the spoons to work on such a long project right now with everything else on. Planning to pick it up again in the new year.

  • Monster Daddy Sam Collab: sadly relegated to the back-burner for the moment as my collab buddy has some other projects to focus on.
  • Wincest Size!Kink: not a high priority, but something to come back to at some point.

  • Wincest Panty!Kink: not a high priority, but something to come back to at some point.

  • Wincest Does New Mexico: vaguely outlined.

  • Sterek!AU: I think I might need to just accept that this is just not happening right now. I've got it outlined but I need to rewatch the movie inspiration to refine, and I've just not been in the mood.

  • Taking Chances Sequel: on indefinite hiatus. I've got several pages worth of ideas for the sequel, but it's in no cohesive plot form, and IDK if it'll ever come to life.

  • Pile O' Plot Bunnies: I currently have a list of over 20 concrete plot bunny ideas. Some of things I'll try and incorporate into fests or daily deviant themes. Some are sequels or codas to existing fics of mine. There are a couple of ideas here that I REALLY want to write at some point, so I'm always keeping an eye out for a good opportunity to prioritize one of my ideas.
