Well, another year is halfway over and it hasn’t been that bad of a year for me, hanfic-wise! Here’s a quick update on my progress on a few fics over the last few months.
Amber and I have been working pretty steadily on two of our collaborations, and we’ve made some really great progress. We keep saying that both will be finished by “the end of the summer,” which is a little bit vague but the most achievable goal I think we can set.
Bled Dry is just a few chapters from ending, but we have a sequel in the works for the future. It will take some work and planning to get that sequel ready to share, so there will be a delay between the end of Bled Dry and the beginning of the sequel.
Truth is a Whisper is a little bit closer to ending, but we’ve delayed that ending some with the lost chapters we’ve been posting. Those lost chapters show the past, future and some different points of view. These are mostly quite short and fun, and we’re excited about showing them as well as finally getting to the end of the “real” story.
On my own, I’ve been mostly working on two stories lately.
It’s been pretty smooth sailing for Cherry Lips, which I debuted in May. Mostly, I’ve just been editing and posting the chapters I wrote in April’s session of Camp NaNoWriMo, but I do hope to write some new ones soon.
Kiss and Tell, though, has been effectively on hiatus since March, as I struggled to figure out how to get to the climax of the story (not to mention where to go after that!). I finally did manage to write one chapter, and while it’s too soon to say my writer’s block is entirely gone, I do feel a little better about it.
So what’s up next for me? Mostly, more of the same. I hope to add a few chapters to Cherry Lips and Kiss and Tell during July NaNo, as well as writing at least a little bit of what I have left on those two collabs. I’ve set my goal at 25,000 words, a relatively low goal, which I think is good for me given that I’ll be out of town for the first week or so of the month.
Speaking of which, if you’re going to be at Red Rocks and you spot me, say hi! It’s a little weird to get recognized in person, but it happens. And check back here soon to see my latest fic updates!
