trying to get my Rook origin story in a state to share like shaking a bag of dog treats in front of friends going "you want to beta read my silly fanfic, you want to beta read it so bad, you can't resist looking at it"

#only like One friend has actual series knowledge about DA is the real tragedy #and another is playing the series but like Just started Origins (hi Nikki)#my actual editor friend would need so much context and I don't wanna put that on her #and I'm like so shy otherwise ksdshjdf #I haven't been in an active fandom where I wanted to write in like a decade #even then I didn't share my writing in a way where people could actually find it by going into the tags LMAO #me having One (1) bad fandom experience 12 years ago: sitting in an empty room is better actually #I'm also like this Rook Origin is almost 6k words/12 pages and I think people will find it boring #because it doesn't have any of the companions in it (it does briefly reference Lucanis by title)#and I think the pacing is whack because I wrote it in scattered chunks while doing other parts at the same time #and idk if I'll get to the stuff involving the companions before I fizzle out #so it feels weird to share it before I get it to that point or properly plan out what parts I'm writing #this is why my BG3 fic is like 50 pages of random shit between game events that never saw the light of day #except Nikki got to see the document lmao (hi again)#need to sit down and just do heavy editing even though it means like either cutting a third of it or doing a heavy rewrite #the first like 4 paragraphs feel like a chore to read through which is Not Good #and I don't love how I tried to wrap it up but continuing it to a better conclusion feels like rambling for another 10 pages y'know #anyways hi stream of consciousness losing twitter has brought my curse of gab back here
