My Frist Poly Fic

[kingstoken]

If you guys remember from yesterday I mentioned that I was working on a Star Trek TOS fic, well I published it on A03 if you want to check it out. It is my first ever fic for a poly ship, and of course it's for Bones/Kirk/Spock. It was originally meant to be just a little ficlet, but it ballooned into nearly 2000 words. I normally don't rec my own fics very much, but this was a new challenge for me, so I am a little nervous and looking for feed back.

Title: Intertwined

Fandom: Star Trek: The Original Series

::giggles:: The last fic I wrote (that I'm still editing) is really short. It's barely over 3,000 words. (I am not in any way concise.)

I know 2000 words isn't technically a long, but it is when you had originally planned to write something little more than drabble length. Also, I love your long fic, no need to be concise ;).

I generally find drabbles unsatisfying. It's so hard to paint a picture in 100 words. I think I've written two drabbles and they are merely okay.

Your story has far too much going on to be a drabble. I'd say there's even room to expand. (I don't mean add on to it, but rather take some of the little moments that McCoy remembers and turn them into scenes of their own.) Warning: this is exactly how I end up spending months (or literally years in a few cases) writing novel-length stories. So it is probably safest to ignore my advice.

I had this scene in my head of the three of them in bed, McCoy in the middle, and Kirk and Spock comforting McCoy. So, a quick little thing, but then I had to write backstory about how they had gotten to that point and why they were comforting Bones, and next thing you know drabble ---> 2000 words.
