*beats head on desk*

It's a metaphorical desk, but still...

I am having a fight to the death with my BigBang final draft. I've mostly got all the scenes written that need to be written, and then I can get to the corrections pkwench made in my first draft, but the scenes are all putting up a hell of a struggle. Teeth, claws, poison stingers, you name it.

I have to post this monster in less than two weeks. Twelve days, in fact, since my posting date is July 9th.

On the plus side, my artist has shown me her work, and it's gorgeous. I'm a little worried now that people will see the art and then be disappointed by the fic. *waffles*

Okay.

*rolls up sleeves*

I have another fic draft due on the 30th, so I need to get this finished ASAP.

*goes back to work*


Doesn't help that I have a headache. Meh.

I am too shamelessly excited that I get to read it in twelve day to have any sympathy with your angst, so there. : ) But I'm sorry about the headache. *passes soothing herbal tea*

I'm impressed with your fortitude (or something). I've only just gotten word back from two of my betas, and both said they loved it and pointed out similar issues yet I'm STILL convinced it's crap -- Okay, not what I was going to go on about.

If you need another set of eyes peering at it, let me know? We seem to have finished up the UK budget at work, so I hopefully won't be as swamped there, any more. . . .

YOU CAN DO EET! *\o/*

[ficwriter1966.livejournal.com]

Good luck with it! I'll send good thoughts your way. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind. As soon as I've finished writing the last bits (I got hauled out to dinner by coworkers instead), I'll be in better shape.

I'm still not convinced it's not crap, but my beta seems to like it, so...

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Hee!

Thanks. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

LOL

I can't tell you which is funnier: your graphic or your icon. :D

\o/

*goes back to being really, really mean to Sam*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

Ok, see, now, you didn't tell me you were being really really mean to Sam. This could change things.

*rummages for new banner*

I am now Trooper A, shown on the left. You are Trooper B.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

So... I'm doing a silly dance?

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

Yes. I am berating you for being mean to Sam, and you are all, "I'M BEING MEEN TO SAAM, YAY."

*is vry srs face*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay, I get it!

*grins at you*

C'mon, you know you enjoy the Sam!whump just as much as the next person. :D

[tahirire.livejournal.com]

I can neither confirm nor deny that assessment.

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*grins evilly*

[bellatemple]

It's a frightening thing. You've worked on it so hard for so long that you can no longer see it for what it might be, but only see the frustration and confusion that went into it along the way. . . .

But hurray for dinner with coworkers!

[harrigan.livejournal.com]

Sam whump?

I am holding my breath till you post! And I have EVERY faith in you! You rock!

[roque-clasique.livejournal.com]

You can do it!!!

[pkwench.livejournal.com]

I'm a little worried now that people will see the art and then be disappointed by the fic. *waffles*

Must I rub your head with a knuckle until it burns? Waffle not. I love that fic. You'll get it done and it will be awesome. Why? Because you're awesome. So, stop worrying or I'll have to do something really drastic.

Oh, I know that feeling, I do.

Don't let that Big Bang get you! You can do it!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

I know. I've stared at this thing until I'm cross-eyed!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Epic Sam whump. Like, 100 pages of practically nothing but Sam whump, with a plot to mostly justify it. ;)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

*waffles anxiously*

*keeps writing*

GOD.

[calamitycrow.livejournal.com]

being mean to Sam? me and the human HIGHLY approve of this - now ((hugs)) get back to that writing!!

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

No, no! No need to do anything drastic!

*cowers in a corner*

*goes back to work*

I'm integrating your corrections/suggestions now. I'm about halfway done. Then I'll go back and tweak some of those final scenes, 'cause I'm not satisfied with them yet, and then I'll launch it your way. :)

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

*flails*

Holy crap! *keeps writing frantically*

[ratherastory.livejournal.com]

Very, VERY mean to Sam. It's pretty much nothing but me being mean to Sam for 100 pages. Oh, there's a plot and all, but the plot is mean to Sam too. So there's no escaping it. Poor Sam. Poor Dean too, for that matter.
