Working on old WIP
I'm working on an old Spangel series (The Fire Within) I always promised I would some day finish. Of course, it's been 15(WTF??) years so most of those I made that promise to have by now probably moved on, from the fandom and/or most certainly from LJ. Still, a promise is a promise. And I hate to leave it like it is. But it does feel weird. Not only do I have problems getting Spike's voice to cooperate but so many things are so out of date now I have to remind myself that as I wrote the first 13 chapters in 2006-2007 I have to keep the rest in that same time area. Even if things mentioned are probably forgotten by now and no one uses the technology mentioned anymore. Also, do not accidentally add stuff like smart phones!
I pretty much know how I want to wrap it up. Problem is it will take a few chapters to do it justice and my writing is sooo sloooow now. I have two chapters finished, most of that was written years ago, and am now struggling with what happens next. At some point there will have to be smut (no, no, there really, really must) and I don't know what I did to offend my smut muse, she is not my friend anymore. Maybe I need to do some offering. Set fire to a dildo or something.
Man, writing is hard!
Anyway, I also have another Doors timestamp I had forgotten about. Didn't post it at the time because it's a bit naughty and for some reason I have conflicted feelings about sex in that verse. Which is very weird, I know. And not fair at all to poor Doors!Jensen, he needs sex as much as the next man. Even more after staying celibate for so long.
And, I also have a Puzzle timestamp ready, just need to have it beta'd. BTW, does anyone have any idea about katy4650? She Aspie-proofed my previous 2 Puzzle stories for me (11(!!) years ago since last) but she disappeared all of a sudden from LJ and Twitter in 2020 and she isn't answering emails and with the way the world is I can't help but worry. Please, if anyone knows anything. She is such a lovely person, I would hate not knowing if something happened to her. In fact, I hate that so many dear LJ friends are now gone and I have no idea if they're even alive. :( [ETA. I heard from her, she is fine! And she is reading it over for me, like the wonderful woman she is.]
Covid has most likely finally slipped inside our door. The girl woke up with a sore throat, headache and bad cold, did a home test and got positive and then went to have a rapid test and got negative. (They've stopped doing the PCR ones.) As she is feeling quite miserable we're leaning towards the home test being more accurate. So she's staying in her room in the basement and we're crossing fingers we'll not get it as well. Especially as me and mr_felis have plans to go out of town next weekend for our 30(again WTF??!!!) anniversary from when we first got together. (We don't really do dating in Iceland, or we didn't until recently. Instead we get drunk at parties or pubs and start making out and that's it, we're a couple for as long as it lasts. Although I was the drunk one and poor mr_felis was totally sober and didn't know what hit him.) I don't really get how it can be 30 years since I'm barely past 29 *coughs*turning50inOctober*coughs* but time is strange that way.
