"Guardian" progress report
Jul. 14th, 2015 09:47 pmGnrgh, fight scenes. I revised a thing because the initial setup had unfortunate implications, but I still need to do some heavy choreography to make things seem plausible from the opponents' side. And while I have successfully managed to ignore one third of the fight, I do need to keep another third in my peripheral attention, as it were, because it may crash into the third I'm actually writing in full and should certainly be providing background noises and stuff. This is important in my quest to not have my scenes feel like they occur in a vast sea of formless blank space!
Chapter 16 currently = 1,175 words, so I'm about a quarter of the way through according to past averages. I guess the question is how long this scene will run, and if it winds up eating half the chapter, whether I should move scene three or scene four to chapter 17. (Probably scene three. Otherwise chapter 17 will get structurally weird since it would have two Eiji-POV scenes in a row unless I made up something for Naga-tachi out of whole cloth... which I might have to do anyway for continuity purposes, come to think of it. *sigh* Stupid timelines. It's really annoying keeping everything in order!)
Anyway, I think I'll go post chapter 2 to AO3 now. :-)
