Under the Wire!

[dialecticdreamer]

While I pulled out all the stops and wrote twelve stories in December (posting eleven of them), I was more caught up in the plot arcs than in remembering to check my card, which affected my fills. I've more than a single line, but far less than a blackout. The list is in order for the story arc, rather than where they appear on my/the public card (the 0-column).


December Allbingo fills:

Subtle: Workshop Progress (part One, Two, Three, and Four)

Immature: Venting Steam (part One and Two.)

Generous: Conspiracy Theory (part One and Two)

All three stories (plus several others posted in December) follow the interactions between an imprisoned supervillain in the Polychrome Heroics universe and a psychologist sent in to assess the prison and the prisoners' response to a nearly-lethal threat (that story was written by ysabetwordsmith.) Shiv finds more of Doctor Finn's family willing to visit, and then things get even more complicated.

Secretive: Adjusting Plans
This is a different thread of Polychrome Heroics, involving the actors and staff who help create the “Sunday Afternoon” show on a small cable station.

Yay!

You've written an amazing amount this month. I have really enjoyed this storyline. Poor Shiv is so confused, but it's such fun to watch!

Thank you for saying that. Bad tape (Puritanical work ethic hammered WAAY past reasonable points) says that I didn't make word count on (oooh!) five days,, therefore, I "failed' despite a word count nearly DOUBLE my -stretch- goal of 29K.

That particular tape needs to BURN.

Now that the baseline is set in the story, the next ones begin to branch out, looping back and involving characters I've introduced briefly, at this point, in more important ways.

I'll say it as often as you need me to. Getting rid of bad tape is like debugging code one line at at time: tedious as fuck, but it does work.

0_o Daily goals are different from overall goals, and most people count the latter more important: the dailies are just a way to break the big ones into more manageable pieces.

*offers matches*

You really did an amazing amount of work, especially considering the extra demands on your energy.

Yay! I really enjoy that spiral structure in plots. I picked it up from eastern lit myself. I don't know why most westerners don't like it.
