mugenmineStuck: Day who knows-
Chapters: 6 (draft 2)
Total @ 18.5
She grows! Right now my first 5 chapters average about 2.7K words each and the last one is pushing 6.5K. 6.5K!! It seems that I suffer from an affliction called, end of fic porn/scene-itis. It makes me feel like the thing is rather off balance. I mean 1/3rd of it is their scene. It is an extended scene, with lots of things to do. Many rounds of things, like the Olympics... But yikes, yeah. This was kind of meant to be a two chapter fic and it's gone batshit crazy. Not sure what's to be done about that. I'm still about 1/4th of the way through the chapter edit so it's still growing, but at least it's the last one! I think the other chapters will probably grow a little as I continue to flesh things out. Man, if this is the way I write 6 chapters then the novel length thing I have planned is going to be War and Peace... *crazy sounds*. After this is a one shot! (maybe a two shot). But I have to do something smaller or I'll never manage my quarterly goal... But on the upside, I am making progress. I have a 4-day weekend coming up so I hope to make a dent in this paper mess. (and play FFX. FFX!!)

I can also identify a bit, sometimes I feel like that is basically how I write sex/scenes: same stuff reprised for my own viewing pleasure... Also, I see absolutely nothing wrong with a War and Peace of BDSM-y Johnlock.
Ooh, you are a gamer? I am not much of one myself, but I tend to have great fondness for those who do. :)

And yes, I am a gamer, but a choosy one. I play very few titles, tend to lean towards the RPG/story based ones. I'm replaying a game that came out ages ago. I loved it back then so it's fun to replay it now... :-D
