I finished John Carter Bad Things Happen Bingo!
Just a little post to celebrate my BTHB blackout. It’s not a very significant accomplishment in the grand scheme of things, but it’s still one I’m proud of! 170,000 words of John Carter whump. 25 fics, written and published over the last 6 months. Thank you to everyone who has read and kudosed and commented and supported this depraved little series. I’ve locked Carter in a freezer. I tased him. Strangled him. Buried him under buildings. I even dropped him off a bridge. So many concussions. So many intubations.
My favorites? Probably the two big ones I started with and ended with. “Freezer Burn” and “The Found”. I’m also quite fond of “i will try to fix you”.
I think I’m proudest of “who’d have thought there’d be so much left to lose” and “The Old Days”. Also “The Found”.
Hardest one to write? Also probably “The Found”, lol. I also struggled a lot with “lights will guide you home”.
My least favorite is probably “The Rains of Kethos” or “Evacuation”.
Most underrated, in my opinion, would be “lessons learned” or “Cuffing Season”.
If anyone has any personal favorites from the series, I’d love to hear about it in the comments :)
Hopefully this post isn’t too self indulgent. Many many thanks to all my beloveds in the ER County General discord for being so lovely and encouraging throughout, from freezer fic to Africa fic. Ok, that's all!!
