Just The Current Roundup
Aug. 2nd, 2024 07:57 pmHorror High is currently at 406 hits, 7 bookmarks, 31 kudos and 17 comments (but two of those are me replying to comments someone else left.) But I just posted Chapter Four not even 24hrs ago so it could potentially go up a bit more in the next couple days. I've come to the conclusion that I shouldn't expect much feedback for HH, it's not a very mainstream fic and not many people seem to be going for it. But the feedback I HAVE gotten has been mostly positive, with just the one review that bitched because I mentioned possibly switching to bottom!Dean in the sequel. If you don't like it you don't have to read it, my dude, no one is forcing you.
Anyway. For having posted four chapters and 26,686 words so far the reception hasn't been great. I think I had my hopes up in the beginning but now I'm just posting chapters because literally the whole fic is already finished so I might as well, and if a few people like it that's great too. If I had been posting chapters as I finished them like I normally do, I probably would have dropped the project by now. I thrive on feedback and interaction from the community and not getting it kind of sucks, but oh well. Not much I can do about it. I'll probably still write Cheap Motel and Counting Scars, but I'm not sure if I'll get around to writing Storm Season after all, considering. I guess we'll see.
Right now I'm very into my Witcher SPN AU. It's two of my favorite series smushed together so I'm enjoying myself immensely. Way back almost three years ago I wrote the first five in the series (Crossroads, Technical Possession, Sugar, Call My Name and Familiarity) and then completely lost my ability to write ANYTHING so it got dropped for a while. Then the other day I wrote the sixth one in the series (What No One Knows) and it's actually gotten a decent response considering I haven't written Witcher SPN AU or Witcher ANYTHING in literally years. Also there's no porn, which is miraculous for Witcher SPN AU Lambden fic, but means it won't get as many hits as something smutty would.
So I currently have open in Word MANY other Witcher SPN AU fics (in no particular order: Falling In Love With You, No Matter What They Say, Don't You Forget About Me, Radiance, Touched By An Angel, Wayward Sons, The Road So Far, Points Of Origin, The Forest, Rewarding Heroism, The Land Of Sunshine and Beyond This Illusion) all of which are in some state of being worked on, but right now I'm specifically trying to finish Don't You Forget About Me because it's the next one in the series. Tinkering on others when I get stuck. Don't You Forget About Me has a big fight scene that I'm somewhat procrastinating over...
I used to write fight scenes all the time. I used to LIKE writing them. I was GOOD at writing them. But I guess you kind of lose things when you don't write for a long time. I'm really struggling with the fight scene in this one. But then, I really struggled with the smut in HH at first, too, before I finally got back into the grove of it. So I imagine it's the same with the violence, I just have to write until it comes back. If the beginning part of it turns out shitty I can always go back and re-write it once I get into it. So. *shrug*
Hopefully I'll have Don't You Forget About Me finished in the next day or two and can post it. Then I can try to figure out the order the rest of them go in. I THINK Rewarding Heroism comes next, but I could be wrong. And I'm going to start posting the Witcher SPN AU fics here, too, soon, I just have to get off my butt and actually DO IT. =/
