I did it - woohoo! 50K FTW

[beren_writes]

 

I finished NaNoWriMo today after I hit 50K on my Harry Potter fanfic, Defence, Pretence, Offence. Yay!

 

Well, technically I hit 100K because I had 50K before I started, and I still have more to write, in fact a lot more, but I still won NaNoWriMo :).

 

I honestly have no idea how long it's going to be in the end. I have 46 chapters at the moment, but I'm not sure if it will grow any more of if some will be combined. Only five of those chapters are still complete outlines, with nothing to pad them out, so I'm doing quite well. I just have the really tricky bits to finish up - the stuff I have to do some serious research for and the sex scenes :).

Coming Soon

Looking forward to the publication date! One of my favourite fandoms and a satisfyingly long fic!! Any chance of it being up by Christmas or are we looking at 2016?

I really would like to start posting it just before Christmas, but December is so hectic, I suspect the realistic schedule is towards the beginning of 2016. Once I have the first fifteen or so chapters completely finished and edited I will be able to start posting (I intend to do the 5 chapters a week thing I did with GTS to prevent overloading readers), but at the moment it's the beginning that is missing the most!
