You have a big bang to write. You've only done 2% of the wordcount minimum, and who knows how long the fic will be in the end? Crack on.

You definitely shouldn't be writing a post-movie speculative fic where everyone is at war. Bloody, personal war. A fic which so far is all character introspection with no discernible plot or arc of any kind.

Waaah!
