So, this is the last of my NaNoWriMo 2015 updates. The biggest question is, did I win?
The goal of NaNoWriMo is to write a 50,000 word novel in a single month. I already rebelled against this by deciding to work on a fanfiction that just wouldn't leave me alone. Yes this has become perfectly allowable by the NaNoWriMo website. In fact during their write-ins, fandoms have been just as inspirational for prompts as historical pieces. Even so, it's not the original purpose of the event. I also must admit, I have yet to actually reach 50,000 words in the month.
I am proud of what I did get done, however. I managed to complete a rough copy of the first two chapters. I also managed a total of just over 25,000 words. That almost doubled my total NaNoWriMo lifetime word count. (I hope that makes sense to you.) Anyway, I want to get a few more chapters written up before I start actually posting them on my Fanfiction.net account.
Also, I was working on Saturday, but it was so slow(my guess: people were still eating leftovers,) I started wishing I had a notebook or recording device because my mind started spinning other possible crossover instances. Like dealing with Agent Booth from Bones, but mistaking him as Angel...or I'm positive I had a few dozen other things that I managed to think of. If I do end up with more than just it being a Leverage and Librarians crossover, I likely will move it to AO3, where I've noticed a bit more flexibility in stories that would crossover into multiple source materials, including a section that is dedicated to original works.
So for those who met or beat the 50K word goal, congratulations. For those who did not, look at what you managed to get done and remind yourself it's better than where you were 30 days ago. You managed to complete something, even if you didn't get the big goal, you tried. That's winning in my book.
