Musings about fic

[stormwreath]

Last week, I put together an index of all the fic I've written in the two years I've been on LJ. Today I did a bit of poking around with the numbers.

Apparently I've written 55 drabbles, 12 ficlets (under 500 words), 19 stand-alone fics and 6 multi-chapter fics with 24 chapters between them, for a total of 110 individual items of fiction. That comes

I checked and didn't see -- was the Buffy/Buffy actual 'romance' or just the meeting of each other in the time travely one?

NaNoWriMo participants are expected to write 50,000 words in a single month

URGH. For me, that's two whole episodes ;)

And thanks for the masterlist, in part because it reminded me to remind Foamy to update his own. Can you *believe* "Dawn Of the Dead" isn't on there? Sacrilege, I say!

It was the time-travel one, and I count it as romance because of the scene where they got all snuggly on the couch and went upstairs together holding hands, and Buffy invited Buffy to spend the night in her room then got all embarrassed because she hadn't realised how sexual that sounded - and the older Buffy was well aware of the sexuality of the situation but decided it was just too kinky for her. But there was definitely UST going on there.

Keeping fic master lists updated is really hard. :-(

Actually, Dawm Of The Dead is at the top of Foamy's drabble list...

Oh bah. That's what I get for not checking, but then again, it never occurred to me that something made of tons of drabbles still counted as one. Then again, my definition of "drabble" stops somewhere after a thousand words, instead of right at one hundred...

[stormwreath]

Heresy! The 55 drabbles I've written contain exactly 5500 words; no more, no less. :-)

Though I counted double drabbles as 200-word ficlets (and so on), not two drabbles.

Hmm. You're one of THOSE people. Those but-surely-an-exact-word-count-doesn't-matter people.

Right.

There's nothing else for it: we must duel. Swords or pistols?
