Another Update to the "I Need To Be Committed - Writing Edition"
It's August (gasp!) and it's time for another update for the "I Need To Be Committed - Writing Edition" saga.
It goes without saying that I'd gotten myself into a bit of a pickle, signing up for too many challenges and exchanges and instead of developing short stories that just go a little beyond the minimum, I decided to write epics for all of them.
Kingsman Reverse Bang:
Story for MMmouse15 Artwork - Shooting Star - Writing Completed, Posted Complete - 52k
Story for AnarchyCox Artwork - Booked and Bespoked - A Mills & Boon Romance - Posted Complete - 31K
Just Married Exchange: Posted Complete but the covers haven't come off the challenge so I can't reveal it here - Due by July 28 - 21k
Pining Exchange: Abandoned original idea, since it would probably need about 80k to do justice to. Started the story on July 31, finished this morning. Story complete, due by August 10 - 15k (still needs a title)
Slashorific: For the prompt "I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane" - Hartwin - Currently, just 200 words. My challenge is to write something less than 5k. Mod had been kind enough to give me an extension until August 15.
It's a strange feeling, but now that I've finished the fic for Pining, I have no immediate (like within the current calendar page) obligations to write something for someone based on their prompt/likes/dislikes. The Slashorific prompt is a community thing, with no other obligations, and I've kind of challenged myself to keep it under 5k. My buddy and partner in crime,anarchycox, doesn't think I can do it.
Other obligations:
Fandom Trumps Hate: Hartwin with supernatural elements - No official due date, but to be completed by the end of the calendar year - 0 Words Currently
"Achievement Unlocked Round" Story for AnarchyCox Artwork - Due by November 1 (date changed because pinch hits for primary round stories are still posting) - 0 Words Currently (may not write)
Kingsman Fairy Tales: Retelling of The Golem - Due byJuly 7 December somethingorother - 0 Words Currently
Other things carried forward:
There's another Kingsman thing floating around and I might have agreed to write two stories for it. It's called "Royal and Oiled" - based on a prompt on Tumblr about a king making his military advisor/guardian/teacher his boytoy. That has very gentle due dates.
There's also plans for an AO3 challenge exchange for Kingsman AUs, which will have a 5k initial wordcount on story turn in and then authors have six more months to complete if they want to write an extended story. Anarchy and I are still working on the deets, but that will probably be a 2020 thing.
On the health front, knees are better (thank you cutting edge drugs). I am still coughing, although the bronchitis is supposed to be over. Doc says bad post nasal drip is responsible for the hacking and the perpetual sore throat.
