BB Draft Zero

I am calling it a monstrous, horribly bad Draft Zero, and I feel horrible for my betas and my artist, because they're going to have to read it in this condition, but I am sick, sick, sick of the BB fic right now, and I need a break from it.

The Draft Zero wordcount?  133,654.

...oomph.

Ok, I feel better about 87k now.

...a little.

Still. Ooomph!

Maybe your 87K will reach 130K?? :D :D :D

...I hate you.

The worst part is I think its going to go that far, easily.

Shoot me now?

\o/

YAY!

err...

I mean. That's terrible. I'd shoot you to put you out of your misery, but misery likes company, so...

HAI!

...have I mentioned I hate you? You are a mean, cruel, and vicious person, delighting in other's pain like that!


....its a good thing I am coming to like you so much. *laugh*


(Thank you for making me feel better about it. It was really getting intimidating. It is still very intimidating, but I am feeling much better now.)

You haven't mentioned the hate, but yes, I agree, I'm a mean, cruel, vicious person delighting in other's pain.

I'm good with that, especially since it comes with the benefit of seeing WORDS! and a lot of them!

This is spectacularly awesome, you know? I see why people like seeing my massive word counts. Now I get to look forward to yours! :D

Well, knowing that other people have bigger is reassuring... I admit, I go count up Loaded March on occasion to make myself feel better, tho you are doing these word counts in chunks and i seem to have a single giant thing growing.

But the BB makes me feel better, too.

I dunno what to do with mine when i'm done, as its original fiction, but...we'll see.

I'm treating LM more like a television series, where each part is its own episode... :)

My BB isn't the only thing to have a big word count. I've written original fiction that's easily 120K, 80K, 90K, 105K. I tend to think in terms of "books" instead of "fics" or even "short stories" (mainly because all my ideas want to grow up to become books).

Decide what you want to do with your original fiction when you're done :) Worry about finishing it first.

*prodprod* :D
