Three things about writing.

There's been a few writing memes floating around LJ lately, but I like the randomness of this one:

I currently have 123 works posted on AO3. Choose a random number - no peeking! - between 1 (most recently posted/updated) and 123, and I will tell you three things I currently like about that story.

In other news...


I seem to have spent most of my research for my recent stories trying to untangle timelines. For Merlin, I've had to use a spreadsheet to count out days, and ignore the fact that in the show, a journey that takes one set of people 3 days takes another person less than 1 day. My maths is bad, but not *that* bad. I think I've managed to rationalise it now, but still. I really wish the showrunners could count.

Then there's Jack Harkness. I can't use a spreadsheet for him because I keep having to draw wibbly lines across the paper. It's fun, but frustrating, because the Torchwood and Doctor Who timelines don't line up the way I want them to! That is, they line up internally and make their own sort of nonsensical sense, but they don't quite match in the way I'd hoped, which means I have to rethink my plot. Terribly inconsiderate of them. But it's fun thinking about writing Jack again.

And of course:

Word count of the day!

Past 50%! All downhill from here :)
