Fanfic - The Wires series

[tiggymalvern]

Twenty years ago, I got into the El Mariachi trilogy/Once Upon a Time in Mexico fandom and spewed out the longest thing I ever wrote - a 230k word series set in a batshit crazy world.

I'd always intended there to be more one more short story in that series to wrap it up, but I got bogged down after only 4,000 words and I officially abandoned it early in 2009. Then a few months ago, a reader went through the whole series, leaving long, enthusiastic comments on every chapter, and as we chatted back and forth my love for these characters and this insane universe reignited with a vengeance. So I went back and I finally finished it - another old story removed from the list of those that haunt me 😁 The best readers are absolute gold ❤️

Here, for the edification of myself and the one other person who still cares about this insanity more than two decades later 🤪 Beware the tags, because Sands is an arsehole.

Congrats on finishing!

There have been a few abandoned WIPs over the years that I've wished on and off that I've finished, and this is the second time I've dragged one out, dusted it off and got there. It feels great! 😁
