I've Been Oddly Productive Lately

lavanya_sixOver 3800 words written for FFO Chapter 9-A yesterday, bringing the total to just shy of 7,000, and I spent all of today revising it. (I'm skipping Ch.8 for the moment due to inspiration.) It's been very fun to write 9-A so far, which isn't surprising. There's always a heady feeling when starting a new chapter (or new project) that gradually fades away and turns finishing the chapter (or project) into a slogging chore. It's a relief that I can rely on a strong character arc for the last two chapters. Everyone in the cast has something to do.
On another note, I'm officially signed up for the AtLA Big Bang. I kicked around the idea of doing a bigass fic, either an Iroh-centric one or an expansion of my drabble "The Natural Daughter of Somebody", but in the end I decided I have too many long-form projects in the works at the moment to start another one. Especially since I'm nearing the end of FFO: Book 1, getting BoKI off the ground, and doing pre-writing for my new Evangelion AU project. So I'll be doing a fairly short genderswap fic; essentially a rewrite of The Warriors of Kyoshi with maybe some stuff from other episodes. It'll be based on the idea I had for that girl!Sokka fic I abandoned but with a a different, non-plagaristic voice and linear chronology.
I'm 75% certain it won't be a yuri fic, if only because it's rare in fanfic to see a strong, emotional comradeship between two characters of the same gender and not have some sort of sexual relationship shoehorned into it.
