embarking on a longfic journey
Dec. 7th, 2023 08:56 pmsomething about the combination of "moving soon", "allyship fatigue", "christmas music playing everywhere and this includes a lot of jazz", "yearning for the abstract concept of a relationship", "i'm trying to read through all the books on my bookshelf", and "gonna go home to see my parents in a couple weeks" has prompted me to write the percabeth!when harry met sally fanfic that i outlined in may and proceeded to ignore for several months.
some context on the above is that when harry met sally is my parents' Movie. they quoted it back and forth to us at the dinner table. we watch it at least once a year. their names are not harry and sally but that's how they're saved in each other's phones. the way i write fic is usually "i have this idea, now i'm going to 'cast' characters to be in it", so while i think the percabeth dynamic fits the movie canon okay, this could have very easily been, like, pynch or something. this isn't really the done way to go about writing fanfiction but whatever.
i also haven't read the pjo books in a while. maybe a year ago, for the first two series? so percy and annabeth and probably everyone else are going to be out of character sometimes, and i'm honestly at peace with that. if i get bitchy people in my ao3 comments i'm going to be so so mature about it and simply not care.
i've written 600 words tonight. i'm gonna do the tumblr terry pratchett thing and try to get out at least 400 a day. i don't know when this is going to get done and i'm not giving myself a deadline. it's me and my silly little outline against the world. we'll, uh, we'll see how this goes.
