Reasonably quick. I have a story idea and notes, so the situation isn't dire yet.

Matt, I have no idea. But I've found that het pairings that would be really interesting tend to be written really poorly by about 90% of fandom. This is a pain I feel often. I don't recognize the female half of the pairing most of the time.
I have reviewed canon about three times, I have over 6600 words written, I'm still fighting off bears.
Thus, I am spending my days in Yulechat and doing word wars. I had fewer than 4k written yesterday morning!

Usually it's not a problem, as I'm more than fine with reading m/m for most characters. But I can no more enjoy slashy fic of Clark Kent than of my dad.

My first fic fandom involving Clark Kent was Smallville, so m/m including him is definitely not a problem for me.
Mmmmmmm, Lex.

I have over 300 words written for Yuletide! 30 minutes ago I had zero, so I will take a moment to celebrate while also trying to outrun the BEARS.

Okay, I have 400 relatively polished words, another couple hundred in notes/sketches, and a vision. I am less panicked than I was.

I have 13k. I also haven't done squat today and I still need to write the rest of the third act and finalize the first two. (Actually, I think Act 2 is basically done, but I have one more scene I need to finish in Act 1 that's not gelling yet.)

Also, dude, hop into IRC. I've written almost 10k in the last week, mostly through WWs.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I just did one! Although, now I need to look up a couple things in canon. But I did not let that derail me!
