luciazephyrLucy, one week ago: No, I am not getting Changes until it's in paperback. I only got Small Favor in hardcover because it was on sale for dirt cheap. I don't need hardbacks. They don't fit in my satchel anyway!
Lucy, today: Whoops, I seem to have bought Changes. Erk. :looks shifty:
Relatedly, GOOOOOOD I wanna skip Proven Guilty. I'm 170 pages in and it has yet to grab me. Damn it for having so much info that I need. And FFS Michael, why did you show up early, then LEAVE ME? I LOVE YOU COME BACK TO ME BABY PLZ. :pouts:
Okay, I've been asked by four people in the last week: How long is other things the road to hell is paved with going to be? Apparently a lot of people are like me and tend to avoid WIPs, and they want an ETA on this fic's completion.
I'm gonna answer here just so I don't sound like a broken record of myself. Copying and pasting the same reply to people makes me feel like a dick.
ANSWER: It's going to be long. Really long. The fic is going to have multiple plot arcs as it trundles along the one big myth arc I have in mind for it. The current conflict in the story with Bianca is one such plot arc. Once it's resolved, more will come. I have at least one more large plot arc planned out already and it is very likely there will be another after that prior to the endgame of the fic.
So, if the fic is currently just under 100,000 words, it might be about 175,000 or 200,000 by the time it's done. Possibly more. I would say it'll be done in a few months' time. I hope to keep up my fairly speedyquick output with it, but school is starting up in two weeks or so, and that will take precedence. Shouldn't be too big of a deal though.
I hope that helps?
