Oops, I ended up writing a long story in a month
2 years ago
Don't do it first. Do it better.
I've been working with another writer on something, by which I mean "I commissioned a story, wrote up a bunch of notes, was a ways down in the queue, and then got so antsy that I decided to end my self-imposed break from writing and write the intro and a couple of scenes myself."
And, in several ways, exceeded my expectations by a crazy amount.
I don't know if it's more appropriate to say, "Oops, I meant to write the intro but I ended up writing a ~8k word story in 10 days."
Or, "Oops, I meant to just write something skimming over just one scene but I ended up writing a 13k story."
Or maybe, "Oops, I meant to write just these three scenes building up to the real story but ended up writing something that's ~25k words long...in only 38 days."
Either way...oops, I sat at the center of several ley lines of inspiration for the last month-plus ^_^

FA+

That being said, the stories themselves are that great, the pics are just a bonus.
