Hello Bloodymary friends! I wanted to give a bit of an update on the series for anybody who's interested. At long last I have finally figured out the structure of this damn thing.
I'm also not working today, am bored, and talking my shit about this little 'verse of mine helps motivate me into writing it hehe. There's no spoilers to be found here for anything to come.
I was hoping to have the next work done within the next few days, but the AO3 curse has truly hit me with the double whammy of plumbing problems in my flat and a kidney infection, so I haven't been able to make as much progress as I would've liked.
All told I have now written out tentative plans for a total of seven works in this series, so we're at around the halfway point. I have a whole lot of exciting plans and I can't wait to share them all with you.
This 'verse has become so very important to me, and as a result I can literally not stop writing about it. Alongside my master doc I've been sketching out the occasional oneshot for things that occur offscreen, and so in the near future I'm planning to unleash some of these too, in a companion series that will be much looser, with shorter works etc. Think of that as a bit of an odds and ends type deal. I'm tentatively open to taking suggestions on that one, so if you have anything you're burning to see, shoot me an ask :)
Also, I'll probably make a separate post about this, but for now I'll say it here, I am on the lookout for a beta reader now. I was going to wait until after this WIP is done, but fuck it we ball. Essentially I need someone to check me for typos for the most part. I spend a long time editing, and given the length of these fics and the way I write, I end up going a bit blind to things from reading them over and over again. Viadne made this especially clear to meβ that fic was pure evil when I was editing.
I'd also benefit at this stage from talking through my future plans with someone who doesn't mind a spoiler too much, so, if you're interested at all just shoot me a message, and we can discuss! Please DO NOT reach out if you're under the age of 18. I think that should go without saying, but just wanted to reiterate that.
Anyways, I'll shut up for now. I just want to thank all of you again who've shown my rambling so much support, you're all so lovely and kind, and I am eternally grateful to you.
