Valis update

Yesterday morning I woke up feeling lovely. I had a dream about Starsky & Hutch. I dreamt I was at Hutch's apartment and he was totally into me. Then I got a haircut, and I knew we were going to date, and I was totally geeked. The lovely feeling lasted all morning. Seriously. Subconscious, what are you telling me?

I'm at 5200 words on the Riptide fic. It is both better, and worse, than hoped for, as it always is. I think I can fix the worse a little. In fact, I know from personal experience that the worse is kind of imaginary--it's invisible to most who read it, because it exists mostly in my head. See, my head knows the real story, and can compare the two.

I think I'll be able to post it on Sunday. Maybe. If the writing gods continue their help, at least.

Also, I feel really really pretentious because my notes are longer than the fic. And I have quoted lyrics in the beginning. I almost never quote lyrics. I'm so afraid that this is going to be off-putting. Vanity, thy name is Valis.

Seriously. I'm starting to worry that people are going to look at the header and just roll their eyes and skip right over it. heh.

Um.

I just wrote 3400 words in the past four hours and finished the story and wow. (8400 words total, so far, which will change in the revising, but whew.)

*blinks*

Clearly, writing it in my head over and over again paid off. Okay, fine, I'm not totally finished, I still need to polish it, but wow.

Now I just need to polish it, force poor Husband to read it again for the fifteenth time, and bam. Done.

Y'know, in the HP fandom, I'd time posting it so it wouldn't get posted on the weekend (nobody online), but it occurs to me that it might not matter in the Riptide fandom...I mean, there's so little fic that it's not like people get overwhelmed and skip stuff or accidentally miss stuff. I mean, it's just one comm. *ponders posting early*
