October WIP Challenge Check-In, Day 30--Sprint #4

[soldierwitch]

 

Hello, writers! Today is our last writing sprint and also my last day as your check-in host for the month. Y'all have made some wonderful progress over the last two weeks. tbh I can't believe October is basically gone. It went so fast. Good luck to everyone with finishing up your October goals and figuring out what you'd like to work on in November.

Today's writing sprint window: 9 am - 12 pm ET (There will be comment threads for each one hour window in the sprint.)

Discussion prompts:

• What part are you looking forward to getting to in your fic?
• Are you currently working on something new or have you gone back to a WIP you'd set aside for awhile?
• What's your favorite fandom to write for or your favorite character/relationship to write about?

For my sprint time, I'm going to work on the fic blurb that's supposed to go with the Echo!Vamp mix I'm making for Halloween. It'll be good to work on something fresh.

If I still have time left, I'm going to pivot to working on my outline for an Echo AU I've had bouncing around my head for awhile. It involves a house getting built in the woods. The fic outline is a part of my October WIP Challenge goals.

I wrote 889 words. This took on a life of its own lol. Echo haven't even met yet, I'm in the middle of a flashback. But I made good progress. Don't know if I'll get back to it later today, but I'm happy with what I've written.

For the morning sprint I'm going to see if I can finish yet another scene.

Looking forward to the end of this fic. Not that it's been a chore or a pain or a slog; on the contrary, it continues to be one of my few real pleasures in life. But even if this series hasn't resulted in a flood of hits and the adulation of millions, I know it's one of the best things I've ever written, and it's definitely my best long work. Even if that's easy because I mostly write short.

Been working on this final book in the trilogy a little over a year and literally haven't written or planned one word of anything else. Did at least come up with an idea for a new short that I'm looking forward to tackling, but until this series is done it's my focus 100%.

Favorite fandom appears to be Buffy, either standalone or as a crossover. Favorite character is without a doubt Faith, aka "the little black dress of fandom", and a close second is Willow whether or not I'm writing them as a couple - my favorite ship, and the biggest missed opportunity in canon.
