You're done, son. (Only, not really)

Thank every god in the sky, I've finally finished "Take Me Home." It was a beast, no pun intended, and the last couple of chapters fought me tooth and nail every step of the way. God.

Official tally is 29 chapters, 1 epilogue, and 51,244 words.

*collapses in an exhausted heap*


And now I have to write my challenge for [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time (or, rather, finish it, since I started it in November... or was it December? I don't remember), and then the one for [livejournal.com profile] deancastiel which is due in March.

Oh, and then there's BigBang.

Jesus. Good thing I didn't take on too much, eh? :P

Congrats on finishing your story! The satisfaction when you finish a piece can't be compared to anything.

I, too, have to finish my story for the challenge at [livejournal.com profile] hoodietime. I can't believe it's February already!

God, so much for you to do! I know, I still have my second hoodie time fic to finish too. And I'm feeling awful about this when you have so much to do, but can you still beta that fic I asked you about? Should be done tomorrow. Posting starts to the comm on Feb 14th, but it runs for a month and they haven't said if you just post when you're ready or if there's a schedule. Is two weeks enough time? I've never done this beta thing before. I totally fail at word count, because I don't have a program that will give me one. It's a two part fic about the length of Head Games. Still up to beta for me???

WOW! Color me impressed! The writing *I* accomplished this month? I finished a blog post. *hangs her head in shame* I can't wait to read what you've got!

Hooooly crap. @_@ WELL DONE! Take a breather!

I'd say I was sorry for bunny-ing you, and I am, but only slightly. XD *hugs* I'm so glad you had fun with it! And that you can now sleep (for a night or two XD)

Okay,now I'm ready to read!:D

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 11:37 am (UTC)(link)
Sure! I still need to know a rough length, though. Can you tell me in pages, maybe?

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
Any writing is good writing. This is what I've learned over the years. :)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 11:39 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, maybe a night or so, but then I have a ton of other writing to do.

I can't believe how your bunny ate my brain. O_O

LOL

I fully understand. I have been the victim of so many unfinished WIPs, it's not even funny. :)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 11:41 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you! It is a great feeling.

Who the heck authorized it to be February?

[identity profile] animotus.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 11:55 am (UTC)(link)
I like reading WIPs,I didn't start yours because lately I'm "late" with everything...so I thought I'd wait for you to finish!;D

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay, fair enough. I'm "late" on all my reading too. That's the problem with arriving in a fandom four-plus years after the start of a show: there's SO much stuff to wade through!

[identity profile] animotus.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 12:23 pm (UTC)(link)
True,I've had the same problem and I still have to catch up,after years!;D

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 12:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I think I may have to give up on any notions of "catching up," to be honest. There's just way too much fanfic out there, even for me. Besides, I kind of like to read *other* things too!

Like, say, novels. Original fiction. :P

[identity profile] animotus.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 12:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Just try to catch up with the "MUST read" things!

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 12:45 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a LOT of those, too!

Also, opinions seem to vary on the must-reads quite a bit. ;)

[identity profile] animotus.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 01:16 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah,I guess it depends on people's different taste!;D

[identity profile] twoexcluded.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Woot, congratulations!!! That must be quite a feeling :)

[identity profile] ratherastory.livejournal.com 2010-02-01 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Relief, mostly, but yes, it is quite a feeling. I am very happy, because the last two chapters were a hell of a chore to get done. :)
