what is wrong with me?

I thought my not_primetime fic was going to be, you know, 1000-3000 words. Maybe 4000, pushing it.
Then I decided to go with the more complicated prompt, because without doing so I couldn't figure out how to make the simple prompt to work, and... 19k and counting (although nearly done). AUGH!

Date: 2012-05-29 04:31 pm (UTC)Yeah, my worry about my poor beta(s) (I think I'm going to have two for this one, because I feel bad sticking one person with 20k... so... I'll stick two people with it, wait I guess that makes no sense, does it?) was part of what drove me to finish it so soon. (I've done the 45k-beta-in-six-days-while-finishing-my-own-fic thing, thank goodness work was nonexistent that week, and while it seems to have gone okay I did kind of wish I'd had more time to mull over it :) )

I sort of want to do the big complicated prompt, in the fandom I know less well, because it's so obviously the fandom that my recipient spends the most time in. Please feel free to chime in--early and often--about how NICE it is to get out of your main fandom once in a while and try new things!

Date: 2012-05-29 04:35 pm (UTC)Though honestly, it would be more wonderful if I had more TIME (I know it's not_primetime's first year, and I don't want to be too critical, but I do wish that one of the things they hadn't lifted from yuletide was the short writing time... 1.5 months is NOT ENOUGH for me). As it is I feel like there's no way I can put the polish on it I want to, and there are whole subplots I had to cut. Oh well :)
