new discovery every time

I've been writing fan fiction - not a lot of it, not in a lot of fandoms, hardly ever in big fandoms - for, on and off, fifteen years. And yet, the process of my writing is a surprise every time

If all else fails just write porn. Are you confused about the deadline date, by any chance?

Good heavens, you're RIGHT - I thought the deadline was 14 December - which means I have 12 days instead of 6 - which means that I can do more research, aka procrastinate for a little bit longer. Thanks!

Hee! Maybe I shouldn't have told you until the day before!

...but this process is *good*; it means the end result is worth reading :)

(the "connecting the dots" bit is my most hated part too... all that impotent fury and self-doubt :)
