Update Delay

If you've been on this blog for a while then I'm sure you're not surprised with AtO's update being pushed to a later date.

However unlike usual, I'm not sorry about this delay. I haven't edited, let alone looked at chapter 15 in ages because I've been busy trying to complete the AtO draft.

I'm in a really good place with my draft writing and I don't want to lose any momentum by going back to edit chapter 15. Editing will just bring my draft writing to a complete stop.

I've actually been so focused on the draft that I don't even have any what-if AtO snippets to post on this blog right now. (I had this one idea of Lily being in Harry's position and meeting Kushina...but I've ignored the temptation to work on that and pushed it to the 'later' pile.)

It's probably frustrating that I talk so much about the draft but have nothing tangible to show for it online, but I hope you'll bear with me as I work on it.

If all goes well, I'll finish the draft sometime in November (according to very hopeful calculations with my current writing speed) and then I'll be able to edit and upload.

So basically what I'm saying is, give me at least two months before you ask about updates.

Come, procrastinate with me

Actually, with the amount of writing I've managed, I actually don't feel like I've been procrastinating that much.

But I have somehow ended up some fics that I can totally recommend in case you need something to procrastinate relax with.

1. You are the Princess to my Dragon by LullabyKnell (Avengers) WIP

I'm not interested in the Avengers fandom. Other than a few crossovers, I never really bothered to read stories in the fandoms. Especially not multi-chaptered ones. But the concept of this story just got my attention. 

The main character is Darcy Lewis and she's a dragon. That leads to some pretty interesting times in the whole Marvel universe. I'm very interested in learning more about the dragons and their past.

The story is on FFnet as well but it's only been updated to chapter 16 on there.

2. How Long is Forever by tradition (Naruto Time Travel) WIP
A Naruto time travel story with Sakura as the main character. A Sakura who's smart, sassy, sneaky and doing all sorts of dangerous plans to fix things. If you can't tell, I really like how Sakura is in the story. There's no moping around because she's determined to fix things for the better.

The chapters are not in chronological order, but somehow that just works rather well for the story.

There's some really fun bits in the story- Chapter 30 on a whole is my personal favourite because of the complete irony of Sakura's words in a previous chapter.

3. Road Trip at the End of the World by Zenthisoror (Naruto) Complete

This is a very different style of fanfiction. The author describes it as fairytale-esque and I have to agree with that. This oneshot does seem to give off that vibe.

The story revolves around Team 7 after they wake up with no memories in the shadow of a giant tree. I feel like I can't say anymore without spoiling everything. I will however say that this story might give you team 7 feels by the end.

4. Ride the Skies by dollarformyname (SupernaturalxDark Angel crossover) Abandoned
An old crossover between Supernatural (sometime around S5) and Dark Angel- features drunk Castiel at the start and tiny transgenics. Though it's abandoned, I did enjoy reading the chapters that are there.

That's all for now,
