What I Like About the Story: This is a story that I've been thinking about and adding to with Lydia since the start of the year, so I'm really attached to the plot and the dynamic. And demon!Eames. Especially demon!Eames.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: I'm worried that the pacing is a bit off because it's going to cover such a long period of time, but I'm fairly confident that can be smoothed out later if necessary.
Anything Else: I've had months to envision EXACTLY HOW THIS FIC SHOULD BE in my head, and now it's really hard to try and make the words I'm putting down live up to my expectations. ):

Current Word Count: 400. And 80.
What I Like About the Story: Ignoring it.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: Writing it.
...that was a joke.
Anything Else: In my defense, I had about 4k and then scrapped it because I decided it was absolutely vital that the first bit be from another character's POV. So. Um. I'm actually further along than it sounds, and things are going reasonably well considering I backburnered this bb to write 20k of rom-com.

What I Like About the Story: It's an idea that has been kicking around my head for a bit now and I'm glad to actually have the push to write it. Plus the supernatural element is something that I love about it.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: Trying to keep the main cahracters believable (outside of A/E). Trying not to delve into cliches and cheesiness. The last thing I want is for my OC's to be these hollowed out shadows of what I want them to be.
Anything Else: (personal issues that are making it hard to write, need someone to read through what you have and give feedback, need to rant a little?) My critical take on everything that I write makes me write a whole bunch then scrap it for not being good enough.

Current Word Count: 0, technically
What I Like About the Story: Already have sooo much backstory and general details planned out.
What I Don’t Like About the Story: Not yet sure what rating it's going to end up.
Anything Else: Lack of words due to other fest fics having more immediate deadlines. Already have a decent amount of notes, including dialogue exchanges and bits of narration. This is going to be fun!

Characters/Pairings/Type: Arthur/Ariadne/Eames, all permutations thereof
Current Word Count: 2600.
What I Like About the Story: Relationships! Having it outlined! Getting to indulge myself in writing the massive Ariadne-grows-up fic I've always wanted to do!
What I Don’t Like About the Story: I like my structure but having twenty-four separate gdocs may have been overkill. Also nobody is going to read 15K of Ariadne fic that's based off Tori Amos songs.
Anything Else: I got a new job in a different city and I haven't found an apartment yet and I am FLIPPING OUT. I really hope I can settle in and make some headway on this. And everything else in my life I haven't had a chance to touch in weeks.
