Are you kidding? I read just about everything that gets posted to the comm :) it makes me want to go back and finish my still-unfinished Number One on the Yorktown epic.

I wrote the original 8000 word draft as an entry for 'Ship Wars, but it needed fleshing out. Now that Boosette is here in Chicago, she keeps threatening me, to try and get me to hurry up and get back to writing Pike/Number One.

(Possibly I got distracted by Primeval and Thor in 2011/2012 to the tune of 80,000 words.)

i think the last time i wrote something more than 8k words it was basically voyeur porn with some angsty infidelity that ultimately did not make sense and very few people bothered to read it

oh i totally get where you're coming from, i've gotten in and out of so many fandoms this past year and a half and i didn't even bother to write for most of them, so, major props to you. but sometimes i go through my old drafts of TSN fic and it's like lying down in your old bed in your parents' house. but it doesn't feel like coming home until you've actually fallen asleep in it.

tl;dr give in to the threats and tweak the draft, i mean, you never know right?
