Summertime Productivity

It's August! And you know what that means, don't you?

Well for me it means getting even more exhausted in the heat over here. Not a bad thing. In fact it's one of those awesome things I love about summer.

Yeah, I'm weird like that.

Anyway you're probably thinking that I'm going to use the excuse of summer activities not to write fanfiction.

You'd be half-right.

I've actually got a good amount of writing done. The only thing is that I've written a lot more non-fanfiction over the past month.

Wait!

Let me finish.... geez, you guys always assume the worst (something I noticed from AtO's reviews that talk about future plot).

So, I wrote a lot of non-fanfiction. But I also wrote a lot of fanfiction. just that it's a whole lot less compared to my other writing.

Here's the list of how much fanfiction draftiness I wrote. Seriously though, remember the wordcounts are for the drafts, so don't get excited.

I wanted to share the numbers with you cos they make me (a super-lazy procrastinator) feel rather accomplished.

1- Against the Odds- since you're probably only interested in news about that anyway. (Chapter 14 current word-count: 4,369. Future chapter scene: 1837.)
2- Detour to Evolution (Removed all traces of Itachi* from the final chapters I'd written- which meant editing 8327 words of story. Re-did most of the chapters= rewriting at least 4500+words. And also managed to write up an omake for the story.)
3- My still-nameless HpxFairyTail story (which was 9900+ words but I decided to re-write it to see why the story didn't feel ready to be uploaded. And my re-write of the story so far has 1624 words)

And there were loads of plot-bunnies/ideas for other fanfiction too. I wrote a few of the saner ones but don't want to include them in my list cos they're not as important at the moment.

Hmm, how about some teasers from what I've written? Not AtO obviously, cos I have a feeling putting teasers from that story will just be... a bad idea**. So I'll give you snippets from two other fanfics-in progress that are kind of interesting (at least to me).

So here's a little something from my HpxSupernatural story (that's currently 7794 words long and won't get finished anytime soon)

“Do you even know how this apocalypse got started?”
“Does it matter?” Harry said, “All I need to know is how I can help end it.”
“Even though you're not one of His children?

And this bit is from a Fairy Tail fanfic. (it's 8815 words and not to be confused with my HpxFairyTail story)

“I didn't think putting information together like this was illegal,” Lucy said.
Makarov nodded. “Good, remember to say the same thing if the council ever finds out and questions you.”
“Master!”

So yeah, loads of writing progress. The only sad thing is that I haven't read any of the fanfic updates that I've got on story alert. But I'm sure I'll get to them eventually.

Hopefully this post stops you guys from thinking that I've dropped off the internet again,

Polar.
* You're probably wondering about the whole removing Itachi from the Detour to Evolution story. Hmm, how do I say this? You know how all the Uchiha are sort of attention hoggers? Yeah in what I had written during November of last year, Itachi's role was just... anyway, I just wanted Grimmjow and Team Seven to remain in the spotlight. So the re-write was necessary.
**Bad idea to put AtO teasers? Yes, especially since I can't tell you when chapter 14 will be complete and uploaded online.
