Casefic done! \o/
13 Apr 2020 19:27I finished my casefic! According to gedit, it's 30k, so expect maybe 28k on AO3. I first got the idea, fully formed, on 25.9.2019, but put it aside until I was done with Yuletide and For No Cradle Lasts Forever. The first attestation of actually writing it is 10.3.2020; it's now 13.4.2020 and so this was a project of about 35 days, which gives me a daily wordcount of ~860, w00t!
Writing trivia: I had 10k on 18.3., so I had a very productive 8 days! I jotted down scene outline things, but wrote entirely in order, aside from the transition between chapters 5 and 6, which I wrote when I was at the start of chapter 5. Because the entire premise is me being horrendously evil towards my readers, I have done my best to end every chapter (save the last, chapter 7) with a cliffhanger. (Some of them involve less hanging off a cliff than hanging 5 cm in the air, but eh, all chapter transitions happen midscene!)
I'll spend the rest of the week writing my exchange assignments – I want to finish at least one – and then take a second look through for typos and foreshadowing/consistency fail. But! The first chapter will turn up next week. I just need to figure out the summary and the tags... E-rated, CNTW, Weilan, casefic a wordcount tag (probably the 15k-30k one; why is the cutoff right at my fic's length, sigh), and then trying to figure out how to tag the rest of the stuff without spoiling all of it. Potential canonical tags I've found include Suspense and ... nothing else. Do you know of good AO3 canonical freeforms for "deliberately undertagged to avoid spoilers" and "narrative has twists"?
*goes off to brainstorm other fic*
