Hangdog Days

On writing:

The bad news is that I'm stuck on my Tertiary Ficathon story. No, it's not yet done. Yes, I should be good and whacked for it (virtually, online, that is). It WILL be finished, just far past its due date.

The reasons for this are not bad. For one, I have articles and features to write for the local paper and a couple of other places, and I may have just picked up yet another magazine (local and regional magazines here tend to rise and fall at a rapid rate, lasting for about a year before folding - during which time I spam the hell out of them and take as much of their freelancer budget as they'll allow).

But the very good news, at least for me, is that "Deny" is moving once again, if a bit glacially. This is an improvement over it standing stock-still for so many months. This is the sixth installment in "Contradictions" for those three people actually keeping score. I have hopes this might actually be finished sometime in the current epoch, so I can move on to the seventh story, yet untitled.

I'm one of those three! *g* And I'm absolutely thrilled to hear that you haven't given it up...georgous fic that. Can't wait to read more.

Like the person below (whom I did NOT tell this), I am grateful to you for keeping score and keeping an eye out for it. It'll come, eventually (much like Will himself ... ooooh, bad, that!).

It's LIVING again. Thank you. The 'Contradictions' stories I can claim help me study for the SAT's lots of big words... and other stuff..

Re: ...

Yeah - more big, um ... words - yeah, that's it - coming up in future parts. Colossal words, and ... stuff.

(Beavis: Heh heh - you said "BIG")

I am *so* tired right now, I should not even be posting ... LOL.

*counts* one...two...and me! because i'm definitely interested in the 6th part - and you say there's /more/? *drools in anticipation*

you know, you can't keep me sitting here drooling too long; i'm likely to dehydrate.

Well, don't do that! Drink a soda or something. LOL

But thanks for checking back every so often. I'm trying, really; I need to tell my editors to go to the hot place for a while so I can write my fanfic instead of regular articles and such!

You can up that number to at least four, because I adore your writing, especially the Contradiction series. And no, you don't know me. I am a random fan who stalks your journal way more frequently then you should feel comfortable with.

Hands down, you are the BEST Will/Jack writer out there. I've pretty much stopped reading POTC fan fic on a regular basis, but you are one of the very few authors whom I stalk for great fic.

Seriously, I'm embarrassed that I haven't written to you before, but you should know that you really have a lot for which to be proud. Utterly fantastic work. ^_^

*purrs*

Ah, it strokes my ego. I am happy to hear it, and you've just made me smile very muchly, yes please. *G*

I know I'm incredibly slow these days, but I promise more is coming. Just be patient with the production, and thanks for reading!

I cannot WAIT for Deny!!! I've honestly been checking diligently every other day on your livejournal for updates! I haven't had time to post a happy comment though! But keep working!!! I'll DIE if you don't finish soon...haha.
