The two fills I'm actively working on for buffyversebingo have mutated into what may be the longest one-shots I've ever written (like, probably over 10k words each). I'm hopeful I'll have them both done this week and then produce works that are more... restrained in order to get a bingo. I'm fairly optimistic about this since none of the other prompts on the potential rows have made my brain fire off the way these two have for some reason.

I've finished a couple of old drafts and thrown them up onto AO3, one from a Fictober fill I mostly finished but forgot about entirely, and the other being the original beginning for a longer, bizarre character study fic that would pretty much be impossible for me to finish as originally intended because I'm so far removed from the context in which I wrote it and the story was relevant:

Just Killing Time (A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge, Jesse Walsh/Ron Grady, M, 1204 words)
The Woman with the Lyrical Name (Pretty Little Liars, Aria Montgomery, G, 352 words)

I also was... inspired... by Planet of the Spiders to write some Doctor Who fic involving the scene where Mike Yates was tied up and left in that bedroom:

An Embarrassment of Friendship (Classic Doctor Who, John Benton/Mike Yates, E, 2857 words)

I'm honestly really happy with how inspired I am to write Who fic in general, though I'm intentionally holding off on tackling the two Christmas stories I want to write until it's closer to the end of the month since I want to be in a better headspace for it. I've also been toying with the idea of mirroring my who stories on Teaspoon, but I know that site has some past baggage that I haven't been able to parse out at all since I didn't get into Doctor Who until 2012, and I don't know how beneficial it would be since the four fics I've written are all currently up on AO3 and I don't know how active Teaspoon is anymore.

Going through my drafts, I found an Osomatsu-san fic that currently clocks in at 2600 words that I'm really mad I didn't finish at the time, since it captured the character voices in such a specific way that I've have to rewatch chunks of the show to even approach again. I think what held me up was that I was still very nervous writing romance that wasn't of the "confession at the very end of the story" variety, and along with finally finishing those two Hetalia fics I have open, this might be the story I want to finish and post this year the most. I have a handful of works that I'm not particularly proud of, so it'd be nice to polish off material that I can genuinely look back on with pride years later.

So I finally got a fill with an actual Halloween theme done! Though there's a chance I could get another one done and posted later tonight, but I really wanted to make this post before midnight.

Getting down to the wire. Polished these off today and I'm hoping to get a couple of more drafts finished before I go to sleep tonight (especially since I sacrificed working out in order to write).

I never expected to write Homestuck again, but the arrival of Homestuck^2 brought an old plot bunny back to the surface and I ended up hammering out this fill pretty quickly. The other fill might be the filthiest thing I've ever written in my life, and it ended up running so long that I've split it up across two different fills.

So far, there's been a disturbing lack of explicit references to Halloween. The drafts for the latter fills I have done have rectified this, though I have to say a lot of this is a symptom of me having a hard time getting into the Holiday spirit this year. I suspect this weekend I'll be kicking myself for not making more of an effort.

Title: A Loud and Sloppy Interspecies Makeout

So this post was delayed A LOT, mostly because these two fills specifically got away from me (and ended up being over 4x as long as I originally intended them to be. Whoops. I decided that this week through next I'll just been posting (multiple) late fills until I'm basically taught up for the tail end of the month.

As with before, these are un-beta'd for now since I just want to get them up for now. I'm going to try to keep future fills to a more reasonable length so hopefully I won't run into this problem again.

Title: Get Lucky

Rating: Teen
Word Count: 2177
Characters/Pairings: Korea/Taiwan, Korea/America, Hong Kong
