So, I'm not sure exactly why I decided that a story covering Neal Caffrey's entire adult life through the the resolution of
Most Wanted was a good idea, but I did, and that, I feel, was a mistake. It's currently unfinished at 8,000 words, in four parts. None of these things were my intention.
In fairness, it totally fits one of the prompts, if you squint and tilt your head and take certain things very thematically. ...one of the prompts that isn't anywhere near the bingo I'm working on. But it fits into a series with two other prompts! ...
one of which is on the bingo I'm working on.
Hush.
I feel like I could have had at least one of these fics finished by today, if I hadn't taken a weird left turn somewhere and found myself writing out 15,000 words of fiction where the US correctional system is a modern version of
convict leasing, but on the plus side, I have 15,000 words of fiction where the US correctional system is a modern version of
convict leasing!
Look, I never claimed to be good at this.
(I also feel a bit guilty about all those words, because I've totally been using fanfic as a way to hide from the stress of unemployment when I should probably be spending more of that time doing productive things.
