Further experiments in present tense
Aug. 26th, 2012 10:26 amI've decided to continue (or create, rather) the tradition of posting fic on my birthday, having written in the last day-and-a-half a sequel (still in present tense, but a good deal less, um, stylistic) to "Improbability":
The Cat Did Nothing in the Night-Time, John/Sherlock for real this time, plus an actual cat and the continued use of excessive landscape metaphor, though only one mention of scorpions.
And that will be my last effort either in present tense or in that fandom. I looked up the stats: there are currently 16,258 works on AO3 for "Sherlock" and 415 for "Lewis." And 936 for the Vorkosigan Saga. I think it's obvious where my work will be best rewarded. Not that lack of recognition would stop me, but frankly I really don't have anything more to say.
I am still working on the Betans! They are merely being slightly difficult!
ETA: On the other hand - 640 hits since yesterday. I remind myself yet again that all you have to do is write slash. :P
