Oh, finally.

Not only is chapter 60 done and uploaded to all three archives, it turned out better than I had expected. Well, I didn't expect much, because it's a filler chapter, but to have accomplished something cool in it makes me pretty hap hap happy.

One more "filler/catch-up" chapter and I'll be writing the really cool stuff, the scene that begat the whole fic, the scene that everything else has been backstory for. I'm pysched. I've written this scene in my head over and over again and it will be awesome to finally get it out on paper. Er, on the computer.

Am wearing the sparkly shirt, and I must say, I've decided that this is a stay-at-home-and-veg t-shirt, especially because it is...sparkly. And comfy.

I'm going to try promoting the Fic of Doom today, seeing as it's the sixtieth chapter and I've reached 100,000 words. I'll put my first announcements of it ever on two of the mailing lists I frequent as soon as this chapter is validated at Sycophant Hex, because I have a feeling that most of the people on the list will want to read it there.

It's grey and rainy, just how I like it.

Welcome back, bob_the_mighty. The hive was malodorous without you. And Lou forgot half of the words to the Great Hive Oath so we made him run around the building three times without his freklesprees on. It was funny until he turned on the splatenvore and got us all soaked with nimbspawn.

Another rec: realreview is up and running, and this is where you can post excerpts of your work for a real review...they promise you'll Get brutally honest feedback for your writing, and be prepared to dish out what you take! Sounds like it could be a source of much drama. Heh. If I had any short pieces to submit, I'd do so, but, having written little except the bloated Sarahfic and a drabble, I hardly think I qualify.

To do list:
Polish long entry about fanfic writing, and post and send link to daily_snitch
Post interactive creative question entry on Friday, timed so that most people see it, I hope. I thought about Wednesday. Actually I have no idea which day would be best; I just want it to hit at a point where the most people will play. Cuz it could be fun.
Write up challenge thing.
Start Snape Reference entry with many, many links to many, many references that I have bookmarked.
Start chapter 61.

Oh, now that's nice...I would love to spend the day at work immersed in fic! :)

I was so relieved to get this particular chapter out...it really took an inordinate amount of time, and I wasn't motivated. That it turned out better than I expected was so nice.

Glad you got some done...here's hoping the words flow for you!
