I've taken two weeks off after finishing Discovering Mr Baggins to recuperate a bit (I always set an insane writing pace for myself when I post stuff) and I'm pleased to say that I'm back to writing, a lot sooner than I had expected.
A sudden burst of inspiration at 3 a.m. on Friday (those are the best ones) gave me the first spark of an idea and I have now written the first 1000 words of the promised DMB sequel. So far it looks like it will be fairly lighthearted, schmoopy affair told from Bilbo's POV.
Right now I can't even guess how long it will take to write the story, because I first have to research wedding traditions around the world and in history before I make up any dwarvish customs. I also have no idea how long the finished fic will be - my wish is somewhere around 15K words, but my wordcount guesses tend to be horribly unreliable (DMB was supposed to be 50K words long :D )
If anyone's interested, I may post a few excerpts of the fic here as I work before I post it on AO3, so that you can get a small taste while you wait. (To be honest, I don't anticipate this blog getting much traffic overall, but if anyone asks, I'll be happy to post a scene or two :)
