And done! 40,540 words. Not bad for a novella. :D I'm not sure about how "wrapped-up" this is. My OTP inadvertently turned into an OT3 at the last second (I'm not complaining at all, I'm just surprised). Anyway, this is the end of the story for now! Hope everyone liked it, or at least enjoyed the ride. :D

Epilogue; Finality
( Epilogue; Finality )

Warning! These chapters have suicides. It may be triggery, so I want to warn people about them before hand. They aren't overly graphic, but they do happen. So. Be warned!

39,000 words and nearing the end!

XIX Despair
( Sojourn Part XIX, Despair )

We continue! ~makes 'roll on' gesture with hands~ Up to 35,000 words! I don't think this one will reach 50k. We're in the home stretch right now, but I can't see it lasting for much longer. There's tension, and there's dragging things out needlessly. ;D

Warning! Some NSFW in this section. Be warned! Or incentivized.

XVII Tensions
( Sojourn XVII, Tensions )

Sometimes it goes slow, sometimes it just flows. Two sections today! Both of them are over 2,000 words. And I started writing less than three hours ago. Never can tell what kind of day it'll be until you start hitting the keys, I guess. ~cracks knuckles, considers going back for more... maybe a third section...?

Chapter Four
XIV Whispers
( Sojourn Chapter Four, Part XIV: Whispers )

Up to 24,400 words! This thing really is taking on a life of its own. It's kind of scary, but in a really cool sort of way. The hardest part is having a crew of military officers without cadging from Star Trek. Even having someone call their CO "captain" feels... iffy. ;D ( Read more... )

Another day, another section. But wait! TWO sections at once?! You lucky mc-ducks. Sorry for ending this one where I did, but it was either that or have a big, big chapter there. And I didn't want to do that. So! You have to wait. You'd have to wait either way, since the next chapter won't get done today, but still. Waiting is bad. Right? Soooooo ( Read more... )

I decided on a name change! Shai never really worked for me, but I didn't have an alternative. Now that she's going to be mentioned more often I decided to come up with something official. So she is now Laikyn Prescott ( Read more... )

The excerpt in this chapter is... unusual. I wanted to aim for corny, and I may have overshot the mark. I'll let you guys be the judge on that. It's all meant to be a pallet cleanser following the Harvestmen introduction. This chapter is NSFW, and keep in mind that I was trying to write this while my mother wandered back and forth behind the ( Read more... )

Woooooooo, 6,000 words today. I definitely had to get something out of my head. :D I may go back to revising tomorrow, unless I'm extraordinarily inspired for the next scene(s). We're up to 11,000, and the main OTP has barely spent any time together at all. Hm. ;D

VI Harvestmen
( Sojourn, Part VI, Harvestmen )

I wasn't sure if I should have the chapters all reset their Roman numerals, or just continue on. There's some appeal to having it reset, but then that might be confusing. I don't know. What do yoooou people think? Preference one way or the other while reading ( Read more... )
