#bc then my own process of writing it is done! i will ostensibly feel less emotionally invested

[jennycalendar]

k making this an official post bc i've been unwell about it all day: am essentially four chapters from finishing the first book of the marigold fic. it's over 200k words it's going to be over 50 chapters i'm going to have to start straight up combining chapters because otherwise weekly updates means this thing WILL take like two years minimum to post properly.

technically i could start posting book 1 as i work on book 2 but i'm not sure if that's what i wanna do? i've really enjoyed writing this thing in semi-seclusion and handing it to like 3 people whose enthusiasm has buoyed me thru the writing process. at the same time tho i do recognize that at this rate it's likely gonna be another 5-6 months before this thing is done, and then weekly updates suggest that it's going to be at least a year of posting, so like .... shall there even BE an audience for this thing when that happens?

unsure. unclear. trying to figure out whether/if there's a secret third option
