Sep. 10th, 2011 12:56 amAnnotated The Exhaustion of Dawn, my fic for NFE!
Originally, I thought I'd just do some reflective character-based 1000-word thing in about two hours, easy peasy. So what with the traveling to Canada and working like a one-armed paperhanger, I didn't even think about starting to write my NFE until about a week before deadline, whereupon I discovered that everything I could do had about a novels' worth of plot to it.
OOPS.
And that, my dear patient mods, in addition to a shitload of work and a handful of health problems, is why I blew right through the deadline, the extended deadline, and the no-really-we're-serious-this-time deadline, wrote about six thousand more words than I meant to, and would have written a novella if I hadn't run out of time and they would have given my prompt to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
andi_horton since she signed up for pinch-hitting, and she was in the middle of moving, and so that's why I have ideas to write all this as an original novel.
( But it all makes me kind of want to write an original novel. )
( And in case you were wondering about the references.... )
( But the big question: SEX????? )
Well, I think that covers all the bases.
