Progress report

Feb 12, 2012 18:14

Today I decided to add a collection of scenes to my space pilots story that will make the finished product roughly thirty percent longer than I'd planned.

Good: These scenes will add danger, adventure, and (of course) more banter and UST! Hard to go wrong there, especially since in the original plan, things rolled along for 75% of the story without much conflict beyond one character pining after another. (Which is not a bad conflict, but they're also supposed to be doing vaguely dangerous stuff, and there was a lot of vague and not much dangerous till near the end.)

Bad: I already blew past what I assumed would be the 6,000-word finish of this "short" story, and this will take it pretty much into novella category. I'm still having fun, and the characters are entertaining me, but I was kind of hoping to finish it at some point in the near future.

I'm also poking rather more insistently than usual at the Northern Exposure fic I've had in my head for about ten years now, which is fun.

Speaking of which, if you were seduced by my pimp post for this week's nx_rewatch episode, the discussion post is here!
