Jul. 10th, 2022 20:12Ahhhhhhh, today has been so good (fandom-wise).
My CC beta, even though they were JUST HOME FROM A TRIP, sat with my on zoom for hours and we talked about next steps. I have a Five Times fic I started posting in 2019 that has sat half-posted and unfinished for nearly three years, and we sat down and went over it and, like, it might actually get done??
The fifth part is hard, because it's trying to do so much heavy lifting, but I'm telling myself that it doesn't have to be perfect, it's okay to just be good enough. This is fanfiction! It's okay if it's not perfect! It's okay if it's bad, actually! (Although I would struggle to post anything I felt didn't pass at least as decent.)
Anyway, the plan is to finish it (it might take a few weeks, because of our schedules) and then go back and finish the posting.
I'll probably update the first two parts as well, as I'm making minor changes, but I think I'll just link back to the original versions on my DW or something.
But I'm excited! I have a bunch of short one-shot fics and I really do want to get them up and posted. What to do with all the longer fics I'm in the middle of is just....a question for later! I'm doing something now!
(I keep thinking like, maybe I should post on tumblr or discord or something, let people in this specific fandom know about these fics, and then I think, you know, maybe not. It hurts to not have people to talk to in the fandom, but being anxious in a toxic fandom is wooooorse. I hope the people looking for my fics find them, and I can cling to that for now.)
Continued thanks to Asp and Lanna, I sometimes go back to that post and re-read your comments when I need a bit more resolve to get this done. ♥
