And this year, I got by far the best assignment I've ever had. I took one look at the requests and went, "OMG, I can take all but one of those and combine them into one story."
Then I came to my senses. Somewhat.
Today, while waiting for scripts to finish running at work, I started making a backstory mindmap for a story combining half of the requests I got. After typing like a madman for an hour or so, I looked at the result.
Then I went and looked at the plans I made back when I did NaNoWriMo for a couple of years, and compared.
I have backstory and plot skeleton for roughly 100k words worth of fic. Maybe more. There is no way on Earth I can write that much before the deadline.
So now I'm not sure what to do. Maybe I can write something like a part one at 30k:ish words and pretend it's a full story, then post the rest later. Or something.
But merciful Goddess, I so want to write this. Maybe it'll be unreadable in the end, but it's going to be so much fun to write.
