Many years of sunshine days

...that's two references there in that title. One to the weather, one to me watching too many documentaries on the history of the English/British Monarchy while attempting to beat Pharaoh and poking occasionally at WS #6. In other words, still totally unfocused.

I'm trying to decide how horrible of a person I would be if I tried to do the cap_ironman Big Bang ( Read more... )

fanfiction related, i'm actually writing about me

*shrugs* idk if it makes you a bad person for wanting to work on the iron man big bang without western skies being done, but I am dying to see the end of chapter 6. I don't know about cuting out the "rehashed" scenes either, but I love what you've written so far if that ocunts for anything.
ttfn, aadarshinah

It probably won't happen, but thanks for reminding me that some people are still waiting on my slow butt to finish. ;) I think I know at least one scene I can all but get rid of, it felt like filler to me in the first place. I think I was paying too much attention at the parallels and stuff, hence getting repetitive. Thanks for the support! <3

Oh bb. ♥

It's all about the psychology of the reader. If you're repeating lines and content that look to be directly out of the movie, readers will skim over it, because they know it. Then, they start skimming more.

Also, paragraphs aren't about taking up space on a screen. In fiction, paragraphs are broken up by how you want certain thoughts, concepts, bits of dialogue, and images to be mentally assembled and processed by the reader. Every paragraph break is there for a reason. It's about visual cues and information-assembling.

I'm really excited for you that you're making progress with the fic! It's exciting! :D

Feel free to poke me anytime. ♥

Yeah, you have a good point. I have a feeling I'm going to end up with multiple copies of this thing before I finish. For all reasons you just listed.

Progress...here's hoping. xD
