Sooooooo, NaNo. It's coming now, and you know, I feel like it'd be silly of me to even try, considering that, well, I won't be there for the last week of November, and I'll be busy most weekends. Instead of 1,667 words a day, I should probably have to power through 3/4K a day, as quickly as possible. I have no idea if I can do that, I don't know how busy work will be.
So really, it's a bit silly to think I can do it. However, I really want to? I really really want to. Thing is, I have this plot in my head and it needs SO MUCH WORK and I need to think it through so hard and add a whole ton of details and things to it to hope reaching 50K with it, but I kinda love it a lot? And if I know where I'm going before I start it might be good, I might manage to start with a good rhythm.

I don't know, you guys. I just don't know. I'm really on the fence here, because I really want to use this opportunity to write Steve and Danny as bikers being undercover but not knowing the other is undercover so falling for a ~bad guy as well as trying to get enough evidence to break the whole US-wide MC and dealing with feelings for another man in a place like a MC and and and I just. I want it, you know, sigh, I do. But I don't know if it's smart/responsible/if it's not going to make me lose my mind. Last year was really quite, um, difficult, in several different ways, so I don't know. I really want to do it, I love the challenge and the work and writing a long, involved fic, but vfnjk, I don't know, I just don't.


In other news, this morning I realised how painstakingly clear it was that McFly has ruined the slash fandom by joining all sorts of social media outlets, because three of them are away in the woods recording demos and yet there is NO FIC with threesomes in them and angsty!Harry being left alone in London and phone sex and such. Seriously, it's a little sad.
Also, the guy that follows them around with a camera and gets all sorts of videos for the fans is an immense douche who keeps on spouting super offensive comments on Twitter. Once it was about religion and how it's bullshit, which was so offensive, and now it's about how fat people are fat because they don't exercise and eat too much. The guy is followed by 14K teen girls, and he says shit like that, I am bewildereeeeed. And I want to punch him in the face. Repeatedly.

I've done Nano for years and have even actually finished it three times, and since I'm going to be on a cruise with my parental (it's an elvis cruise with mad elvis groupies and 25 Elvis impersonators - don't even!) I wasn't going to enter this year.

But I have this incredibly persistant urge to write Sherrif!Steve and Pinkerton!Danny so I may just join in and do that.

I've entered twice, and finished once and a half, sort of, considering what happened last year with my stories. And this year, my parents are visiting for my birthday, and then the BFFlatmates and I will be off to LA for a week and a bit, and yet, I really do plan on entering anyway...
