mrsluigivargasFinished drafting Chapter 3 of my sickfic last weekend~ *does a little dance* Two more chapters to go! I'm trying to draft the whole thing before starting to edit it for posting. Don’t want another multichapter fic to take 10 years to be finished (looking at you, Cinderello). The only other true multichap I've written took me 9-ish months, with an IRL friend group cheering me on. I've been actively working on this fic for…5-ish months now? I started drafting it in March. The Google Doc has existed since…Dec 2020. Hm.
Anyway Chapter 3 ended up full of parallels to Chapters 1 and 2 and to itself, which was interesting. Most of them were unintentional. One that was intentional was that early in Chapter 3 Mario jokes about carrying Kamek down the hallway, and then later in the chapter Kamek passes out so Mario has to carry him down the hallway ^_^. Very simple, yet very fun~. The only thing so far in this fic that I can see being annoying is that I decided to engage with a magic system to explain why they were in the house, but now I have to make up a magic system :/. It's just runes, but I think I have to make up a word/phrase or three and write half an infodump. But that's a problem for Future Me~.
Also I had to make a new Tumblr blog for self-shipping stuff because apparently it never sunk in that I've been self-shipping for years until I'm sitting at my desk trying to write Kamek lying sick in a recliner and I'm persistently getting the urge to, like, run a hand through his hair or something. Which I can't do, because he's fictional, and Mario and Luigi won't do, because they aren't inclined to. So, uh. Whoops? I love learning new things about myself. /hj
