A few days ago the assignments for Femslash '11 went out. I got one, since it's the one ficathon I've been participating in regularly for quite a whole bunch of years now. 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.

I'm sure the recipient would be delighted with 30k of the first installment in a series.
