[i]Amortentia[/i], a 1x1 project that my writing partner and I started on the 10th of April, just hit [b]100k words[/b]! Considering it took us a year to reach the same word count for our previous big roleplay, to have managed it in less than four months is such an incredible change that literally came out of nowhere. 50k of this came from the last month alone, like a pseudo-NaNoWriMo we didn't know we were doing.


I cannot enthuse about [@Aconite] and her writing enough. Not only has she been the backbone of the project (with the legwork of every scene written from her character's point of view) she never ceases to amaze and inspire me with her creativity. This happened most recently when she began to work in written descriptions of the characters playing music with the sort of luxurious prose one might expect in a real, published novel, but I have also died over every new character, every dramatic moment and every line of banter she has ever written. There's no-one better to gush over wild tropes and headcanons with, to exchange aesthetic boards and Spotify playlists with, to chat with well into the early hours of the morning, and to roleplay with in general.

Here's to doing this again, and many, many more late nights staring at a screen, growing too attached to fictional bastards and waiting eagerly for our next turn. [s]Or waiting for the master doc to load, because at 229 pages, it sure is crunching.[/s][/indent][/indent][/cell][cell][/cell][cell][/cell][cell][/cell][/row][/table]
