I'm not sure when this happened, but at some point recently, I crossed over 1 MILLION hits on my stories!! What a milestone! Though, to be transparent ... 468,000+ of those are for my most read story, Breed.*
Also, despite not posting for months, my number of user subscriptions on Ao3 keeps rising. Maybe they're mostly bots, but I hope not :) I really appreciate that people want to read what I write!
NaNoWriMo always takes a lot out of me and this year was no exception, especially since I had to go hard in the final days to get 50K words. But this year was also unique because I wrote my first original story! Wait, not wrote – that would imply I actually finished it. No, it is a Work In Progress like a lot of other things, and speaking of ...
I've been pushing myself to update my incomplete stories and dubbed this "updates week" for myself. This weekend I am planning to update three stories:
The Curse of 100 - finally finished the next chapter after having it half done for a few months ...
The Idol & The Football Star - I've decided to end with a third chapter because I am not as inspired on this as I want to be. It still feels weird writing about real people, especially with new information constantly coming out about them that changes the story. I have an idea to do a paranormal AU with a witch Taylor and werewolf Travis but not sure when I'll have time to write it ...
and, the most triumphant update:
New Year's Eve Wedding Week - which hasn't been updated in TWO years! Because I only want to write it at this time of year, ya know? Well, and also I dove headfirst into writing Dramione over Biospecialist ... but I always intended to finish this and it will be - hopefully very soon!
Good things are coming in 2024!
