Oh, god, the length! I have a reveals post about that coming, but YES, it was in fact a severe stretch to write that long of a fic, given the new job! I wrote that sucker longhand, on my commute and over my lunch hour, writing two pens dry and filling a notebook and a half. It was frenetic, I tell you. But as long as I knew what the next plot point was -- and I almost always did! -- I could scrawl out another 400 words in the thirty minutes before I had to change buses or go back to work. I didn't know until the week before the due date whether I would be able to finish it or not. I thought I could, if my length estimate wasn't too wrong and I could keep up the pace, but it was a nearer thing than I was quite comfortable with.
Hahaha, no, it's not a happy dinosaur AU, is it? But I've already done two 24K dinosaur AUS, and it'd be entirely TOO easy for you all if I did dinosaurs this time, too. ;-)
Do you mind if I ask what about the story didn't feel like me? I couldn't help but see your convo with scfrankles and now I'm curious.
