H&HC: Fairly Successful
So His and Her Circumstances has been fairly well received. I didn't expect more than six or seven reviews, so I'm happy it's scored twelve as of this posting, including a very long one featuring constructive criticism of my use of description and details about some missed character opportunities I could have developed better. I'm content when an ff.net review has more than four words to it and doesn't include a "please update 'X' story pleazz" in it, so this made me happy.
The other Maiko fic that I was writing before I had to switch over to H&HC due to time constraints, Matched Set, is on the back-burner for now. I need to get work done on my current fanfic projects before I can do something else.
But to decompress from the large volume of AtLA fanfic I've been writing in recent months, I've started developing a new Evangelion AU project. I have 6175 words in on the first chapter (of 26 planned) and it's working title is Her Smoke Rises Up Forever, I can't talk about specific plot details, but I'm intending it as a remedy to the issues I've experienced with Taking Sights, a fanfic that was badly handicapped by my lack of foresight and writerly experience when I started it. Her Smoke Rises Up Forever is also being written in response to a lot of Evangelion fanfic I've been reading lately, such as the excellent Nobody Dies but particularly those posted to the Spacebattles forums. I want to tell a story that strips out the Gurren Lagann feel that contemporary Evangelion fics seem to have taken on, that avoids crossovers or fusions, and goes back to the TV canon's original flavor.
Don't worry. I'll be getting back to work on the next chapter of Full Metal Bitch soon. I've also scaled back my plans for Avatar Shipping Month, as I need a break from AtLA stuff. I'm only going to write an entry for Kacest now.
