Well, shit

I hate it when this happens, but I have come to the conclusion that I have to chuck the current Fusion story. It's not working at all. I have some different ideas, which will require fast-forwarding the timeline a bit. It's not all bad, but it makes me wish I had given up before having 10,000 words' worth of a fic attempt. Feh.

It's not the first time and certainly not the last that I'll end up chucking thousands of words' worth of fic. I estimate I have at least 75K of words that will never see the light of day. It is what it is.

In other news, there is a pretty big snowstorm outside, the first of the year for us. I'm hoping for a quiet night during which I might be able to get some writing done. I have a high seas AU to write before December 18th, after all.

Me too, except this time I already scrapped a previous Fusion attempt and I was desperate for it to work. Bleh.

*fingers crossed for a quiet night*

Aw god, that blows....

But save it all, it might still be salvageable -- as in to cut up and reuse.

And I have my toes crossed for you too.

I'm definitely going to salvage the OC. It's just that the scene/thing I had in mind doesn't have a proper... goal, I guess is the best word. It's just not going anywhere. Better to scrap it and start over at this point.

I know that feeling all too well. Good luck and I really hope the Fusion 'verse cooperates with you soon!
