The problem with writing more fics...

[lomonaaeren]

is that then I have more things to edit, and they pile up more quickly than I have time to edit them while I'm also writing. And then the writing produces more fics, and the problem increases.



Currently, I have "Virgin Revelry" (about a third edited- it's 28,000 words, okay? This takes time), Chapter 6 of Sympathy for the Predators, and "Ron Weasley and the Entropy of the Situation" done and ready to go. As soon as I go through them, correct typos and other mistakes, and put in all the little pesky HTML it needs to be posted on LJ. (Rich text breaks my computer).

Also, "The Mark of the Fox" is almost done, and Draco is such a bastard. Definitely the worst Draco I have ever written. I am kind of worried about the reaction to this story, to be honest, although there are sequels to come that will change the balance of power in the situation.

Stupid fics.

Haha, yes writing always is a love/hate relationship. I can be bursting at the seams, and then be dry for weeks at a time. Probably why I only average a fic or two year. I'm just too damn busy to actually sit down and write like you do. I don't know how you do it, because I recall you saying you were a grad student, and jesus, I have friends there now and I will (hopefully) be there in the fall, and all I hear about is how much effort and time consumption is involved in grad school. You must have amazing time management skills, is all I can say.

Also, I'm currently rereading Bloody but Unbowed and struck again by how much I fucking love that story. And Invictus, of course. :)

I am no longer a grad student! That does help. It's time-consuming, but it is worth it.

Thank you. I'm really glad (and amazed) that people go back and reread older stories as well as newer ones.
