NaNoWriMo check-in 6 (final!!!)

I made it!!!! Whew!!! This month has been busy, but 30,000 words is a good combination of ambitious but comfortable.

trans!Ateez: 16249 words this month
Yuletide: 3425 words this month
Ateez Bingo: 3452 words this month
johnmark fest: 2543 words this month
minkey OFD: 4558 words this month
TOTAL: 30227 words this month

I wasn't able to finish a full rough draft of the Yuletide fic, so that will be my priority going into December (along with another fic for a non-kpop gift exchange.) But I was able to make progress on my trans!Ateez WIP and get a solid start on my other projects. Really happy with that!

Brief status updates for each fic:

trans!Ateez: I should be able to publish the third chapter within the week! After that, I might take a break for it to focus on my exchange fics with deadlines in December. I'm kinda stuck on where to take the back half of the story, so some time away might help me fit pieces together and figure out how to get to the ending I want.

Yuletide: Ahhh, this is a tricky one. New fandoms are hard! But I'm roughly two-thirds through, and I'm confident I'll be able to post something I'm content with by the deadline.

Ateez Bingo: Of this set, this body swap fic has been the weirdest and most fun. It's gonna require a lot of revision, but I have plenty of time to work on it. Main challenge is going to be keeping it under 10K. (Please, me...no more than 15K, at least.)

johnmark fest: This is another one that is gonna need a lot of revision, but again, I have plenty of time. It's been tricky to get into the right headspace for this one...I might have to take a month to spend focusing only on it.

minkey OFD: Probably the most challenging fic on my current roster due to the difficulties of writing time travel premises. But I'm enjoying it! I've decided to go with a chaptered approach. Ideally, I'd like to post the first chapter before the year ends, but we'll see...it's depends on how much I'm panicking as the two December deadlines approach.

Anyway, that's the end of my fic writing updates for a while. (Probably.) To anyone else who was writing this month, I hope things went well for you, and you're satisfied!
