feeling the fic fear

[janne_d]

So the Regency AU was the largest fic I've done to date, taking up 96 or so pages of my preferred format and slightly under 48200 words.

The current WIP? Stands at 68 pages and 33300 words, and I'm less than halfway through. Probably quite a lot less, considering the number of things I have planned to come up.

Scary. Given how long it took me to do ADD, I may not get this one finished this decade...

I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew.

*blinks* 33300 words? Wow. I'm impressed. I'm sure you can do it; what you have so far is shiny. *puts on supportive face*

I'm impressed

I'm intimidated. But the supportive face made me feel slightly better...

*pets* I know that feeling. The bfp just kept growing and growing rather like that story with the porridge pot.

And then it all bubbled over into a big mess of porridge... Meep.

This is going to take me forever to get done!

Big mess of porridge probably describes the bfp quite well. It seems to be the sort of fic you have to read with brain fully engaged. And I have ending issues which I am not meant to be talking about at this juncture.

Endings are evil. I never know what to do with them.
