Monthly Tally (June)
Jul. 1st, 2012 10:25 pmFannish works posted in June:
Shining Upon the Waves, Glee, Kurt/Blaine, AU, 52,815 words.
Not even Kurt Hummel can spin a three-month stint as a piano player on a cruise ship as a logical step to fame and success.
2012 total so far:
82,002 words.
Thoughts:
\o/ !!!
Look at that wordcount, baby! Plus, it's a longer story that I'm so happy to have written, that I feel proud of (even if there was a point here or there that I should have researched more, even if Kurt-gets-a-Broadway-part could have been it's own story, even if I've read responses that were disappointed in the lack of epilogue, even if I've thought so much about these versions of the characters that I could tell you about their first Christmas together and apart, and how they get married, and how adorable their kid will be). I'm filled with fondness for this story.
I get like that with AUs. I'm still fond of my SGA Waltz, Tango, Foxtrot and my PB Impossible Things. There's something about AUs that give you the freedom to really claim the characters and fall in love with their world.
In terms of wips, I've done no work on the Inception or the PB one. I have started the Glee Magazine AU (I expect it to be posted by next month's update) and I've started a cupid-AU (I... don't think that one will be long, until I try to imagine writing it short and blank on the how. But I've started and I'm still fond of the idea, so that's something.)
Given that Channel Ten/Eleven are rescreening the S3 repeats of Glee so I'll get to see everything I missed earlier this year (read: nearly every episode after the hiatus), I wouldn't be surprised if I keep writing in Glee for a while longer.
... of course, having said that, I'm amused at how some of the same themes/character ideas pop up in the magazine AU and "Shining Upon the Waves". Possibly, I'll run out of things to say.
But, still. That wordcount. It feels like such a success.
