I'm doing what now? Ack!

Sep 20, 2008 12:26

*shakes head* Okay, so I've only just finished writing an SGA fic, right? My longest story evar. So not only is my creativity about worn out for a while, but I've got a bunch of editing and such to catch up on. So it'll be a while before I write any more fanfiction, right? Right?! You would think so, but you'd be wrong. Argh.

Yeah, you might ( Read more... )

Heehee. Believe me, personal experience talking: Fanfics have a way of grabbing hold of you and not letting go. You may have an entire series by the time you're done. :D

Heh heh. I'm just not used to being at the mercy of the bunnies. Usually there's no sign of them around at all, unless I actively hunt them down or lay out bait. *eyes story in confusion* 'Tis most unusual.

Yaaay for more fic!! LOL, isn't that the way though...one story leads to another idea, which leads to another story, and another.... ^_^ I think one of the things most addicting about writing is that feeling that some scenes, though the events within them might be mentioned in the story itself without ever being shown "on screen" per se, still beg to be written for themselves. Man, sometimes I have events that I may mention off-hand, or deal with briefly, and they just nag to be written in full. (Or...does that make sense at all? I thought it did, before I wrote it out. :P)

Anyway, much YAAY because this means there is more SGA fic coming. *beams*

*dashes over to review the ending of teh story first though* Eep! :D

Hmm, one story may lead to another, but I'm just not used to it. Really. I generally have to hunt the bunnies down, or lay out bait and clever traps. 'Tis very strange. *eyes story warily*

LOL! And yes indeed, that does make perfect sense! There's just... no way that everything can be shown within a story, and there's also always all that backstory and sequel potential... When a world becomes real, events are never confined to just what's been written, and there are always so many other scenes that feel like they ought to be shown as well, or that would just be so fun, or, or... Mmm, so many intriguing rabbit-trails. ;D

He, I'm very glad you're happy about hearing that there's more, though. As you've fully experienced, I'm a rather pathetically slow writer, but I'm havin' fun with this one, so hopefully it shouldn't be too horribly long before I've got something more to show. ;)

YAY! I'd love to read more about Shep's recovery!!! :D

LOL, hopefully it won't be too horribly long before I have something to post. I'm a dreadfully slow writer, but I'm having fun with this. ;D

I can be very patient. *g* Besides, I'm a slow writer, too *hides the long story she's been working on for 2 years now* and I still owe you the second half of my review, so that should keep me busy until you post the next story. ;-) Which doesn't change the fact that I'm already looking forward to reading more! :D
