Feb. 7th, 2006 09:12 amI wrote another 2,500 words of Constantine fic last night. This makes
trinityvixen's holiday fic well over 7,000, and that's not counting all the stuff I've deleted and rewritten. This is getting out of hand.
(Seriously, do you ever find yourself writing and Chas is just whining and whining and you want to smack him and make him shut up? OK, maybe that's just me.)
I looked through my fanfic files and found that I have eight Constantine stories. Four that have been posted, the one I'm working on now, the 1character challenge fic, then two that have been put on indefinite hiatus. I reread them and found that I liked them, they were good, but they'd need a hell of a lot of heavy plot-lifting to get to were I could post them. I mean, I could see this one that's already nine pages just spinning out to eighty or a hundred or so and I'm just not ready for that level of commitment. I think I need magic elves to come write my stories for me in my sleep.
ETA: And then I stop and think - the Constantine fandom's pretty much dead. And none of these stories are slash. Which means even if I did write a hundred pages only about five people would read it. And then I sigh in defeat and try and remind myself I do this for the love of writing and not for worldly adulation - but really, that's a close one.
