Stockholm Syndrome: Chapter list + more stockholm stuffs

[selene_umi]

Self-explanatory. I think it's a bit obvious now just how big Stockholm's role is in my life lol

*chapter 21 onward aren't uploaded yet, since I still have yet to proofread and recheck them, to make sure what I've written there onward are consistent and accurate.

As Stockholm's coming to its end, there's only one thing I have to say: THIS THING STOLE HALF OF MY LIFE, I SAY. D: But heck, everything paid off. Once I'm done typing the last paragraph, I'll be closing the book for a while so I can move on to something much lighter and comedic, something that's a real reflection of my life and my culture. I don't know if I'm going to revise I Do, Not for my NaNoWriMo, but I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

Anyway... Here it is. A list of Stockholm's 26 chapters. Honestly though? It's length should be around 30+ chapters, since some chapters are around 2 chapters in one, based on word count. But then again, I cut off the chapters on where they're most suitable to end... so...

Random thought: the last three chapter titles were picked before finishing 23. I had checked my playlist and went for the most suitable songs. There were a lot of contenders for chapter 24, which I think is the most challenging chapter I've ever written so far. It reached a whopping length of 8400+k words with around 8 major scenes As for the last chapter title... there was no argument. The moment I heard Last Cross (KHR's 5th opening), I decided to make it my last chapter's title. Squee.

ANYWAY. Enough with the ramblings. xD This list is actually a part of the Outline but nyah.
