Long-Winded Meta-ish Thoughts Of The Week

Random Thought #1 Look at my pretty new default icon! I made it myself, and it's totally inspired from Adam's fierce outfit the other day my favourite peacock feather earrings that I misplaced back in the summer.

Random Thought #2 Today I did one of those grocery shopping trips where I stocked up on everything and pretty much just put whatever ( Read more... )

It's never too late to go back and edit fic, IMO. Putting it on the internets doesn't mean it's permanent and cannot undergo additional improvement (although changing central plot points or characters might be kind of unusual and detracting). It's not really like publishing a book, wherein after the final round of edits are made, it gets put to press and bound into thousands of copies.

Although for that matter, don't published authors even occasionally release anniversary or special or definitive editions of books wherein they make some changes from the original?

HEY! Poke me, sometime, when you're online and around! I haven't talked with you in far too long! (trillian has been overly stupid about not letting me log into Y!M consistently, but I'm always around on my AIM SN...)

But in regards to this, yeah, I'm kind of coming around to the thought that I should probably edit it, if I want to. (I'm just too lazy...)

I know I know! Between my workload and David's workload and the grad school apps, it has just been a world of ew lately. I so need to sit down an catch up with people.

Do both! Upload the earlier version and a revised 2.0 version!

Well, the original versions are all here. I think my biggest hesitation is that the one that would need the most work is my 16k fic, and that's not a quick thing to do...

(Oh! Hey! Have you read my SG-1 stuff? If you haven't, would you want to and tell me if I'm just being silly and over-critical of it?)

I haven't! I shipped Daniel/Vala but didn't actually get the chance to read too much of it. I'll check it out.
