I've finally got the whole of my El Mariachi/Once Upon a Time in Mexico series that I wrote between 2006 and 2009 up on AO3. All 230k plus words of it, now mildly edited.
I still find it hard to believe I did that. After more than a decade of writing fanfics that were around 10k or 20k words long, I suddenly spewed out something that exceeded Crime and Punishment. Well, not that suddenly, it took me three years. But that's still a lot of words per year by my standards.
So if anyone is really bored and has a lot of time they're looking to fill, it all starts here. A story about the weird relationship between a vigilante killer and an amoral, highly manipulative murderer who loves to play games with people's heads. Patterns, me? Nope, I don't have any of those.
Enemies to reluctant allies to something far too prickly to be called friends with benefits. It picks up just days after the third film ends, but enough of my friends have read it and said it makes sense without seeing the films that I believe them.
And that's the last of my online era fics all archived on AO3. I still have some earlier stories from the days of zines that at some point I might dig out and work on putting online too, but those will probably take a lot more editing!
