silveradeptGreetings! This is the Write Every Day Check-In Post for 4 November 02019.
A lot got done today, which is why I'm feeling somewhat run-down physically. Thank you to all of you that answered yesterday's question about exchange letters. As with many things, it turns out we all do it our own way, and that's the best way that works for us. I'm looking forward to receiving the assignment and going to work on it.
I got a couple of nice comments on old fic and new fic all the same, which is heartening. As December approaches, I'm going to start looking at my counts of various things and come to the conclusion that the Miraculous Ladybug fandom is singlehandedly responsible for a significant amount of my kudos count. Which is good, in that it's a big fandom, and big fandoms have lots of kudos to give. It also helps me put in perspective some things that start to creep in around writing - some things will have low hits and kudos counts, but they'll have great comments and people really enjoyed them. And exchange writing, it seems, tends toward smaller counts of everything, perhaps because there's not a lot of people who find it after the anonymity period is done.
Or maybe I'm just weird and multifannish and taking a little bit from everywhere instead of concentrating in a big fandom until it dies out or the stories all get told, and then moving on to a new space. (It might also be that I don't have a Tumblr, since that still seems to be where a lot of fannish energy is, even after the crackdown.)
Today, in writing, I put a few more words down on an assignment, getting it to a position right before the fun really begins. And by "fun," I mean "a person is going to have something happen to them that they're going to continually dismiss as coincidence or other factors, because their belief that the thing could do what it's doing is nil."
Here's the tally so far:
Day One:alexcat, alexseanchai, auroracloud, azurelunatic, bladespark, carenejeans, chanter1944, china_shop, cornerofmadness, lferion, ofmonstrouswords, sanguinity, silveradept, st_aurafina, sylvanwitch, umadoshi, yasaman, ysilme

Date: 2019-11-05 05:37 am (UTC)I was surprised about another one, but that seems to be a case of the fandom being happy to hang out on Tumblr with gifsets instead of writing fic, which is just not something I enjoy as much.
Yay for you being multifannish :D
884 words today on the dingdang fanfic. \o/
I... er. I seem to have the longest fic for this fandom on AO3, and the next chapter is going to boost me well past the "two hundred words past the last person" mark I occupy now.
That next chapter is now in beta.
