I did it.

I did it.

I did it!

In the month of February, I wrote 27* pieces of BruAbba fanfiction covering almost 30,000 words. I have no idea how this happened, but I have learned the important lesson that if I put my mind to it, I can overcome my character flaw of not being able to finish any of my artistic projects (or this was just reinforcing my well-known character flaw of not being able to do anything without a deadline breathing down my neck, which I already knew about myself.)

I’m going to do a retrospective, rereading everything I wrote and ranking them in order of quality-in-my-completely-objective-and-flawless-opinion, from worst to best, as well as providing some behind-the-scenes information on my creative process/stuff that didn’t make it in. Also, for reference, “Maria” is the name I use for fem!Bruno for thematic reasons.

*Why 27? Because I loathed the prompt for Day 22 (Hiccups) and Day 29 (Free Day) is still cooking it will be published eventually I prommy.

leone you’re ruining the trope (M!Bruno/M!Leone, word count: 998, Day 13: Storm)

uuuuuuurrrrrgggghhhh I hate hate hate this one. The premise is pretty okay, and I like the twist that Bruno had actually masterminded the whole thing to figure out if Leone was actually into him (part of my “bruno is a fucking weirdo” agenda) but the entire fic just moves way too fast to actually impart any emotions on the reader. Reading it just made me feel like I was looking at a desiccated skeleton. Like it’s got the foundation of something good, but what else?
