On the first day of NaNo, my word count gave to me...

[dragovianknight]

4,091 words

Two chapters into an m/m orc/human romance that, I will admit, has its roots in tormenting my wife with the specter of Garrosh/Anduin fic.

While she is Not Amused, we are still married.

Congratulations! What an awesome word count for the first day of NaNo!

Wow! Impressive word count!

Go you :D

(So while 'Anduin' rang a bell, and I did play a couple of the early Warcraft games, my memory's so shot I can't even work out which ones... So I'm now like 'ok I can see where that might come from based on super high level character bios' but definitely don't have enough context to know why the Not Amused...)

[dragovianknight]

The Not Amused is because she likes Anduin, but really, really does not like Garrosh. Though, after the past two expansions, I'm pretty sure Garrosh/Anduin seems tame when I could have picked Sylvanas to pair Anduin with.

Ahh...

(I have to admit that Sylvanas' wiki bio makes her sound utterly catnippy to me, tragic tormented fallen hero etc etc. I'm sure this is a misrepresentation...)

[dragovianknight]

Up until Battle for Azeroth you would have been right, but her story in BfA and Shadowlands utterly ruined the character for a lot of us.

The summaries really don't capture that kind of tone very well... :(
