Settle 'round for Story Time, boys and girls
H'okay, so.
Round about seven months ago, phenylic (formerly caughttheact) hosted a Pinto meme. There was a prompt that I couldn't get out of my head, though I knew it was going to take time to write, so, without making any promises, I started on it. And because I haven't got the patience for longer fic (I keep getting sidetracked by insty-grat stuff that I can post quickly) and I write relatively slowly, I'm still working on it. I'm at a little over 20,000 words now, much of it written in the last few weeks, and I'm somewhere between two-thirds and three-quarters done.
Anyway, my point: I have the first two parts (I think five in all? Maybe six?) ready to go, and I'm sick of staring at this thing, so I think I'll go ahead and start posting, and hopefully that'll give me the kick in the ass I need to finish it. I'll post the parts here in my journal, but wait 'til I'm done to post the whole thing at pinto_fic. There aren't any humongous cliffhangers, but there is a decent amount of angst.
Here's your job -- you're allowed to start kicking my ass if I go more than a week without posting a new part (though I totally understand if you want to wait 'til it's finished to start reading). Have we got a deal?
