November update: Quodo Mirrorverse fic surgery

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 23:22:26 GMT

Hm, well, I was hoping to be able to sign up for consent_issues_exchange, but I ended up not getting anywhere close to finishing the sign-up process itself (picking out freeforms, writing requests, etc.), despite putting a lot of work into it last Saturday, so nope, I guess it's not happening this year. 😅 I probably could have had a lazier sign-up/requested fewer things, but it would have been less fun that way!

Also, the other issue is that I already have a big Quodo Mirrorverse WIP that is very related to the themes of CIEX and similar to what I would have requested in that exchange if I signed up. Knowing this, I decided it would be okay to sign up for CIEX *if* I made significant progress on editing/patching up this fic. However, while I did make a lot of progress on that task, I also didn't end up finishing that up in the end. That's okay, though - instead of participating in CIEX for the next couple of months, I'll take the opportunity to try to push this project forward instead, which I kinda need to do or this project won't get finished.

( Talking about my Quodo Mirrorverse WIP )

Anyway, I hope this was interesting to read for anyone not me. 😅 This fic has been quite difficult for me to write, and I am getting a bit tired of having to read the opening chapters for like the fiftieth time in my attempt to add new words. But this time, I am pretty excited about the edits I'm making and feeling optimistic that this time I WILL be able to advance.

Writing update

I finished a bus pass version of my consent_issues_exchange fic. I'm really pleased with how it came out, but I'd just like to do one more pass to bulk up the sex scenes a bit because they came out a little rushed in the version I posted.

I'm also working hard trying to finish enough of a pinch hit in order to claim it, but it's taking me longer than expected. I was hoping to write it very short/concisely, but somehow the writing style keeps on going long back to my typical style. I'm trying out writing on my phone in case that helps - so far it's helping with getting the words out, but they are still not coming out concisely. Also, I hit a bit of a snag with the scene progression, trying to figure out the exact timeline of events I want. I'm still not sure how it will shake out in the end, or if it will shake out.

But that struggle and uncertainty aside, I'm making progress, and I hope I'll be able to make a big dent in this fic today and tomorrow while traveling for the holidays.

I'm hoping for next year I'll be able to work on some of my personal projects instead of writing so much for exchanges, but when the requests are so good...
