#also the intensity or how elaborate plots are come into play! 24h doesn't have some deep crazy in depth plot!

I hope this doesn't sound rude because I enjoy any length of chapters you post, but can I ask why certain fics like The Shire or So Mordor get extremely long chapters word wise, or certain one shots, but Twenty Four Hours get's shorter chapters? Again, not meaning to be rude! Just curious since the short chapters seem like they arent your normal?

not rude at all!

the shorter chapters certainly aren't my normal, and that's why i structured 24h the way i did - to challenge myself, as a writer. there is only so much that can happen in an hour. most of my other works (like shire, mordor, long one shots i.e. maroon) go for "slice of life" style, or can have time jumps within the chapter. for example, in the chapter of mordor i'm writing right now, it's easy to write 10k words because there's so much happening! and not just in one hour, but over the span of an entire day (and the fact that we have fully fleshed out and more developed relationships between characters y'know?). in the soulmate one shot i mentioned having 8.6k words thus far, i am spanning over years between eddie and reader. there's just a lot more room to play.

but i still stand by how i styled the format of twenty four hours. i like how it challenges me! it's new and it's definitely changed/added depth to my writing style. and helped me stop using dialogue as such a crutch lol at least i hope so

also 24h was always meant to be a "shorter fic" despite the set number of chapters from the beginning haha

#i clearly never meant for 24 to blow up the way it did #but it's been a pleasure <3 #thank u ily #when in doubt i time jump and so i said “i should format a fic where i can't do that so that it'll be my own personal hell” #famous last words but it hurts so good #also the intensity or how elaborate plots are come into play! 24h doesn't have some deep crazy in depth plot! #it's just some good old fashioned enemies to lovers for fun #mordor is an entire season 4 rewrite #hope this makes sense haha
