Scarred Serpentine: Completed! · 7:37am Dec 5th, 2021
I keep forgetting to make blog posts but here we are anyway! So Scarred Serpentine has finally been completed; most of the things I want to say has been placed in the author's note in the last chapter. I had lots of fun making this fic, and it was a challenge for me too in many ways (this is the first fic I made that's over 100k words!) Let's see what the future holds, who knows?
How exciting! Congratulations on finishing and going the distance!

Thanks Now you have an idea as to how long left there is to read!

To be honest it is much longer, and I had gotten much further, than I had realized. Haha. It’s crazy sometimes how the word count adds up!

Yeah when I started writing I thought it would reach 80-90k, then I thought it would reach 120k before I removed some filler

I have never had a clue about word counts when I began writing a story. I mean… but can have a sense of relative length, but… maybe I haven’t written enough to have that sense exactly.
I also haven’t had filler? Not to say that everything is vital, but… I dunno. It’s all relevant? I’m sure I’ve got things that could be taken out of some stories, but… if it isn’t part of the plot, it is getting to know characters. I did do a series of dream sequences once that some people got tired of… maybe it’s just me and I just don’t see it, haha.

To be fair I planned extensively for Scarred Serpentine, and like I said I've written before so I usually know how my writing goes.
Filler has something to do with the efficiency of the storytelling as a whole, not just the plot. Everything may be relevant, but some things are more than others!
