abrasaxI should be sick more often if it's going to be like this, heh. So yesterday as I took it easy at home, I typed up chapters 24 thru 28 of the my Avatar/Backrooms Arc #3. Today even if it kills me I'm going to type the last two chapters of that sequence. I estimate approx 30K words. That's roughly estimated since I'm only typing this stuff and not actually editing the chapters into shape. That agony awaits later.
Stuff I noticed that I enjoy - most of the chapters clocked in under 2K words; only 2 so far were ~4K words (the two that remain will be of this size a pop). That's how I hoped my chapters would be spaced overall. When I started this project I foolishly thought these could be ~500 words or so. Experience quickly ended that speculation. Still ... since they're nowhere close to publishable quality - and since they're missing a lot of the details (like footnotes eg) - the final word counts will be greater. Or should be.
I really enjoy the way Varang is coming out as a character here - very epic.
The (na'vi)!Payakan x Grace Augustine pairing simply came out of nowhere to me and that's probs the best part of this for me.
