I have been rewatching Bridgerton from season 1 because apparently I'm writing a sequel now and need every single Whistledown quote.

I was operating under the assumption that Pen publishes one a week, but if that were the case, Portia says Marina's been with them for a month before issue 4 in episode 1, but the ball in episode 4 is just after what I assume is issue 12. She'd be at least 16 weeks pregnant at that point. Absolutely no way to convince someone the baby's early.

Even if there's two issues a week (I mean, it's possible they're more frequent than that I guess) then Marina's at least 10 weeks pregnant.

Is this me over thinking things or is this the writers under thinking things?

“Mama, Lady Bridgerton,” she said, voice carrying through the room. She pulled the ring from her finger, hearing Colin inhale sharply next to her. “I do apologize, but it seems as though there will no longer be a wedding.” She took his hand, propriety be damned, and folded his fingers around the ring, much as she had with her handkerchief weeks prior.

...

Choices are made and Colin and Penelope must think of their futures.

I, who have never been interested in Bridgerton fanfiction before, have written over 2K words now. Why?

The Sweet Taste of Pomegranate was supposed to be two chapters. Two. It is now almost 190K and not done yet.

I'm trying to finish Sweet Taste of Pomegranate before the New Year because I really, really am close to the end and I just need to finish it.

But I just started working on a Christmas Vampire Diaries fic because I saw a TikTok about Hallmark Christmas tropes and I thought about breaking all of them. Thus, Caroline's going home to Mystic Falls for Christmas and Tyler thinks it's their Hallmark chance. It's not.

I just pasted everything from the Nano document into the regular word doc, and there's over 187K words in that file.

[gateshipfic]

I have earned the 'update every day' badge. My current goal is to hit 40K, which I'm just about 650 words away from. But I do also want to go to bed at a decent time, so let's see what my end total is!

[gateshipfic]

Not going to do a daily update for catch up, but I'm at 35.4K words right now. I figured ages ago that I wasn't going to hit 50K. But I've written a huge amount over the last month and I haven't written this much since I started writing it.

To be honest, it was the missile at TonDC and Mount Weather and figuring out how to tackle all of it that held me up. But once I figured that out, I was doing good. I had hoped to finish the fic at least this month, which may or may not happen. But I'll certainly be finishing it soon, which is also great.

We'll see how much I get done today and tomorrow. It's 2PM now and I spent all morning cleaning because I get one day off a week and it's today.

[gateshipfic]

Day 15: 17,348 (+3210 words)

Day 16: 19,658 (+2310)

I've hit the updated word count both days, but I stayed up far too late on the 15th in order to do it and as a result was pretty tired at work yesterday. Still tired today, and I have to work, so we'll see if I get the needed 2,167 words done today.

[gateshipfic]

Took all day to hit the word count goal, but I did it. And ooh boy, we're on Blood Must Have Blood Part 1 now so we're getting into it now.

Also, reunion time soon! Well, it's in the next episode but still. It's soon!
