The Clockworks Cycle
A Yullen fanfic, written by.... me....
Guys.... I did something other than cosplay for once. After more than a year of planning, seven months of writing, many sleepless nights, I finished my story at 218,000 words!
I've written this story starting from the centre, went to the beginning, then went to the end, and filled the gaps after. I wrote this entire thing three times over and read it more than twenty times..... I'm exhausted, but I did it!!
I used to be a writer, a damn good one too, but I haven't written anything in so long! It's obvious with my story being stiff and rusty for the first twenty-five chapters............. erm Please forgive it, I am tired
As much as I hate and avoid drama, this story is packed with it. It's filled to the surface with loneliness, parallels, and symbolism. Some chapters are boring, most are not. Each bit of information, paragraphs, sentences- it's all important. Whether it's a reference to the future, past, or present, (or even the manga) it's all important. I didn't put a single useless scene to hit a word count. And, trust me, I really tried to keep things short. I wanted a simple novel size of 80,000 words, but I came out scathed with 218,000 words.... I guess Yullen fans are eating....
When I started this story, I had no intention on posting it to the public at all. I used it as a way to write out my own inner frustrations regarding loneliness and alcoholism, and after a few months of writing, I was convinced to start posting.
This has taken the entirety of my thoughts since November. Not just my thoughts, my dreams too. OCD didn't let me sleep properly at all. I forced myself to finish as fast as I could, all while doing the best I can with no decline in quality. Aside for the cosplay photos that I inserted, that was mainly due to weather. I want to do a few more photoshoots now that the weather is how I want.......... hmmmm
Anyways, this is just a temporary post to get the word out if anyone is interested in reading. Again, the first few chapters, I'm not very proud of.... But, after that, it's ball. Trust
