Fic Update - if anyone's still watching

mood: accomplished
Hello out there?.... *taps microphone*

Is this thing on?

Ok - after *cough*ten months*cough* I doubt there's too many people who still care, but for the two folk who have indicated they might, please be advised that I have FINALLY written the next chapter of In the Beginning there was Darkness, and barring my lovely beta coming back telling me that it's total and absolute shite, there's a chance it may be up sometime soon.

However, due to the fact that my dearest beta is also suffering from the week we shall not speak of, I will not be hassling her to get through it.

So, there's hope... maybe? Yes. I feel quite pleased with myself right now.

Oh, that reminds me I have 30,000 words worth of story to get betaing through... :-/

You know, you do so fail at self-promoting! Mac has put up a newsflash, a word count and a link to your fic at skyehawk, lol!

I also fail at replying to comments on IJ, because I check them at the office, but I don't log in to IJ from work. Dunno why.

*huggles*

But, I've never been big on self promotion with my fic. The most effort I went to was I used to be a member of two of the H/D comms, and I would post a brief thing there with a link - that's about it.

Mac is a sweetheart - she doesn't even like H/D, but it's all her fault (this fic in particular).

I don't even know where this sudden burst of writing enthusiasm came from, but I'm really enjoying it while it lasts. Now, if I could just get a sudden burst of talent. *wry smile*

How goes things? How's the lads? *snugs*

That sounds like you are in retreat from H/D comms now. Did they get too hectic? I know there are good H/D fics out there -- stands to reason that there are good writers who will write in the genre, just as there are bad writers writing in all other genres too! And from what I read of your fic (I think I read the first 3 or 4 chapters) I thought it was beautifully written. You just couldn't help the fact that you were writing about two very fit attractive young men, and that is such a turn-off for me, lol! *is peverse*

The lads are well, both have recovered from virus that wasn't bad enough to shut them up. I'm stalled with my opus... after getting the first draft finished, and having the extraordinary Musigneus beta it for me, I have been too swamped to get back to it.

You do have talent. You write very well. Just get over it.
;-)

I think I was finding that very little of the style of fic I enjoy was being posted or linked there, so I had no interest in reading, and very little in promoting myself in that forum.

There are some awesome H/D writers around, and I'm fortunate enough to be on chatting terms with a number of them - but they avoid those comms too.

Oh, I'm glad they're getting over it - I imagine they make boisterous and recalcitrant patients.

And I can totally sympathise with the stalling - I mean, 10 months between updates? What was I thinking? But if it's not there, it's not there. I'm sure you'll find your mojo again.

*huggles*

I will suck it up. yes, Ma'am. ♥
