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.

Keep it around. You may find that you're able to cannibalize bits of it for later use. Of course, it doesn't suck any less right now, this I know and know very well. *pets*

I'm definitely planning on cannibalizing bits, pretty much right away, actually.

On the plus side, if I do my time-jump thing now, that will actually bring us closer to Dean's getting a service dog!

(BTW, since when do you have a dead!Gabriel icon?)

Okay, it sucks for you that you lost so much hard work, but I am in full support of getting close to DEAN + DOG. This you know!

I've had the Gabe icon for a while, but hadn't uploaded it until a few weeks back. It makes me sad when I use it. :( So, I'll use this one instead. *points up*

I already know a lot about the dog. Her name is Perry, short for Perriwinkle. Just a teaser. ;)
