Porn Day!
Okay so before we talk about anything else, y'all need to know glymr gifted me with a Mechanic AU tweetfic (ThreadReader option). This fic, I'm telling you, THIS FIC. I read a bit of it while I was taking a lunch break from my own Porn Day project and even though they hadn't yet got down to business, I was hooked. Finally got to read the whole thing after I sent my fic for a quick SPAG check (thanks, kazoogrrl, you're a gem!) and IT WAS SO GOOD. Just, go, go! *shoos* Read it! Immediately, of course, I had a headcanon for the Envoy character and I'm going to be writing that up and sending it to glymr in hopes of inspiring her to write more. Or maybe co-write? idk! the idea is tantalizing, but... *looks at bunny pile* Anyway. I've been wanting that Mechanic AU for ages, now, and this was just lovely and so unexpected!
A massive thank you toglymr for organizing Porn Day and giving me a gift for it! Makes me VERY happy I decided to go for it and submit my own piece for the day.
Writing that many words in 24 hours was Something, let me tell you. Hilariously, I'm pretty sure I'd only be capable of writing that much porn in a day. Took me 2 hours to write the first 400 words or so and the rest of it (all 4k some) happened over fourteen hours on Monday. Unemployment sure can be handy. Someone tagged it "partially successful edging" in their bookmark note and that cracks my shit up. Yes, I absolutely cheated the ending by making Zhao Yunlan (uh, spoiler?) unable to continue much longer either because it was (I thought) two hours to deadline and I needed to wrap up the damn fic already. So, yeah, bookmarker--You're Not Wrong. XD
Oh, yeah, and I totally did the math wrong between the countdown timer and my own clock, so I shortchanged myself an hour for the actual deadline. *emoji shrug*
mckitterick, whom I must give credit for encouraging me to go for it, as well as allowing me the financial resources to, you know, not be employed so I could actually pull this off, pushed back on my firm stance to not revise it. If I find a typo, sure, but I know there are some wording choices I might not have kept, and some things I definitely would have added, given more time to cultivate the story. But I like the freedom of leaving it as is. A sort of testament to what I accomplished in 24 hours. That said, if anyone ever podfics it, I'd like to provide them a version that at least doesn't have things like the same word used too many times too close together, etc. Maybe I should mention that in the story notes...
