Words
I didn't reach my ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
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 ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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!

Clearly what you need to make your goal is to write MORE AUBREYAD! You write yourself out in SG, then get the rest of the words for your goal through MaC! Great plan, yes?
:D

That said, it was a much better story for it.
(And we will not discuss Agents for which we have planned a "directors' cut" that will probably cause it to double in length...)

Fortunately I have always wanted to make this the best that it can be, or I would be cursing her (user)name!

There is no goal for this year.
I'll get back to you in 2014...

I think you might be happy to know that I, for my own purposes, put all the cliffhanger so far into one file so that I can easily read it at home, and am going to sit down and write some of it TODAY.
WHEEE!
I love your big bang, and I can see how depending on what you want to do with it, there could totally be more. I had the same problem with both Memphis and That's A Wrap. I am cheering for you, whatever direction you decide to take it! If you need another set of eyes at any point, I"m here.

The "more" on the big bang will mostly lie within the parameters of the existing story, expanding rather than extending it. I think. *g*
*HUGS* I adore your eyes. :-)
