October 2022 Update - It's about that time again! National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is coming up next month. This year, I'm doing a different sort of challenge for it, though. I've numbered most of my WIPs and will use a random number generator each day to see what the "fic of the day" is! The word count total is still the same goal, both monthly and daily (50,000 total and about 1,667 each day). I still don't write in order, though, most of the time, so I may not be immediately able to post new content, but I'm hopeful that there will be at least a few updates during November! :D (And, yes, this fic is one of the numbered fics. This one has been very difficult for me, mostly because I know what will happen right after this arc, but finishing up what's here right now has been... tough. But it's one of the numbered fics, so I'll be giving it a shot!)
October 2021 Update - Hello, world! Sorry to fake you all out with a notification, but it was important to me to make sure everyone who reads and follows these works sees this update. I really do appreciate you all, and I can't believe how many people have expressed their positive feelings about my stories!
I know that this will probably be a disappointment to you all, but I have made the decision to put all of my fanfictions on hold until December 2021. I promise I am not abandoning any of them, and I do have ideas and outlines for them, but in the meantime, I will be switching gears and focusing on another project.
For the last 9 years, I have participated in National Novel Writing Month (now international, and shortened to NaNoWriMo). I'm sure a lot of you are familiar with it, but for everyone who isn't, NaNoWriMo encourages all sorts of writing! The standard goal is 50,000 words in 30 days. For the last 9 years of my participation, I've won 5 times, and all 9 works have been fanfiction.
This year, I am going to be working on my first original novel! I've had the outline completed for about 3 years now, but I've just never been able to make the leap to writing it. This year, I'm finally taking the plunge! I'll be taking the rest of October to worldbuild that fic (high fantasy comes with a ton of worldbuilding to do) and flesh out the outline I have, and November will be dedicated to NaNoWriMo and my first original work!
I'm sure that, come December and the end of NaNoWriMo, I'll be more than ready to get back to other projects and take a break from the original work, so I promise that I will be back! I do not abandon my works; they may take a very long time to update or be completed, but I love each and every story and each and every one of you who read them.
I'll be posting this same note on each of my ongoing multi-chapter fics, so if you are user subscribed to me, the multiple notifications will be the same note on each work. One additional note: Jane's Harry Potter fic, A Reluctant Hufflepuff, will not be affected as I am mainly her editor.
Thank you again to everyone who has supported my stories! I appreciate you all and one more time: I absolutely promise that I will be back!
