Yuletide Reveals - Your Reveals Posts

[morbane]

Another Yuletide is over! Talk about what you wrote here, or link to posts on your personal journals, if you have them. What were your setbacks and breakthroughs? What was the research you had to cut out? What was your strategy for offers and requests, and did it pay off? What would you do again?

I've been thinking a lot about the process of writing this year and I have a question.

I deliberately didn't join in with the main sign-ups this time around, but I pinch-hit.
In previous years I've pinch-hit and written a main assignment. I was looking back at these and I decided that the pinch-hits that I wrote in two days were fics that I like better than the ones I had months to fret about and faff around with.

Does that happen to other people?
If it does, why do you think it does?

And happy New Year!

I defaulted last year, so I had to write a pinch hit.

I ended up grabbing a Murderbot prompt three? days before the collection went live. I really loved writing it.

However, at some point my friends will look and go "if it's an epistolary pinch-hit, it's probably tigerbright" so I should probably find another strategy for writing quickly ;)
