Crap.

[ratherastory]

Between work and the cat being missing and sundry other random stressors, I haven't written a word of my BigBang since Sunday.

Due date is Saturday. I hope I have until midnight, because otherwise, it ain't happening. I'm still at least 10K short of my end.

I have errands to run right now, and then I want to watch SPN tonight, so I don't know how much I'll be able to write today.

*headdesk*

So close, and yet so far.

Oy, vey.

What on EARTH did I sign up for?

...

Of course, this'll all be moot if I manage not to finish this thing in time.

God. Next year? Case fic. Salt 'n' burn. End of story.

Hahahaha. So very easier said than done. ;D

But then, I'm generally a short form writer. This sucker is shaping up to be the longest SPN fic I've ever written -- and I keep convincing myself it's awful.

*clings to you forever*

ME TOO!

I write short stories. 3,000 to 10,000 words max. There are exactly two exceptions to this rule in my writing, and one was a novel about zombies. Zombies. They write themselves. ;)

I think part of the reason I'm resisting this last chapter is that I've convinced myself that my whole story is crap. *cries*

[bellatemple]

Oh man, I totally know how you feel. And I'm convinced that since I have yet to work out how one detail of my fic works, the whole thing is broken and completely unsalvageable.

And of course, I've left the two hardest POVs for me (Ruby and John) to the last minute.

*cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings*

If you don't make the deadline, I'll totes do art for your fic for you, anyway.

Aww, babe, that's SO SWEET!

I wish I could offer you the same, but the best I can manage is poorly-drawn stick figures. I SUCK at art. :)

We'll be fine. You'll see. We'll stick together, bang out the remaining bits of fic, and it will be awesome. Yes.

Dude, you've seen Dimensions and Verticals, right? Poorly-drawn stick figures ROCK.

*cliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiings back*

*dies laughing*

OH MY GOD. How did I ever miss that? That's BRILLIANT.

But yeah. My poorly-drawn stick figures cannot come close to approximating what you managed there. :)

[bellatemple]

That is by far the most commented on fic I have. And yet, people say they've missed it. . . .

Someday, I'll figure out how to sequel it. JUST BECAUSE I CAN.
