inkingitout goal of 75k words, but I DID WRITE 22K MORE WORDS THAN LAST YEAR.
I actually thought I'd wound up doing worse than last year, because I was sure I was further away from my goal (6.5k words short.) Indeed, I am further from my goal, but I'd forgotten that I'd reset last year's goal down to 50k!
So I'm calling it a win. :-)
I'm not setting any word goal for 2013. I'll finish up my big bang (more on that in a second), finish up my last story forkink_bingo, work on a sekrit project, and hopefully collaborate with princessofgeeks (and whomever else cares to jump in) a bit at some point on the still-needs-a-title NC-17 Jack/Daniel cliffhanger at arboreal_gate.
I have RL stuff that must get done, omg. (After that I have a few old story ideas lurking around, and of course inspiration might strike at some point...)
As to the 1922 AU big bang, which is already at 2.5x the minimum word requirement, I've accepted (with some help fromivorygates) that there is a great deal more still to be said and done with this story. I was prepared for this going in. I signed up for the big bang with the intention of getting started on the story I wanted to tell, getting the basics down, posting a good story, and leaving the option open to continue working on it. There was no other way to get past the terror of embarking on such a major project. (See my 114 drabbles.)
So what I post will be a complete story, with a beginning and an ending. Those who are WIP-phobic can safely read it. The emotions and the character arc will be there. But at some point I plan for there to be a bigger story, with more accurate period details, more color, more adventures, more OCs, etc. I hope you all will enjoy it both times!
