Turkey day update. XD On the progress of the YxZ ficcy of doom. And some ranting, but mostly fic.

And the fic seems to have taken a life of its own. The fic that I had never actually planned on writing, the one that I was resisting for all that I could do, has suddenly become a living entity on its own, and now I have to make sure it gets finished, because five chapters in, man. You don’t just abandon something that’s five chapters in. That’s not cool. Not at all.

So I’ve decided to finish it out and see where it goes. I know my chapter length isn’t particularly consistent, but I go on what my muses tell me, not on any preconceived notion of chapter length. It’s as long or as short as it needs to be. The cliffhangers and resolutions seem to be well-received by the people that I’ve run them by, and I think that’s pretty good…

I think I’m at about the half-way point of where it will go, and I’m not sure where it will go from some places. It’s just that this IS, after all, something that I hadn’t planned on writing, and therefore it’s something that I hadn’t really planned out like usual. So I’m going to just work from what I have, and then we’ll work from there. So far, I’m about 6,745 words in, and I’m not sure how much longer it’s going to be. But to make sure I don’t wind up being really bad about it, I won’t start posting it until I’m finished working on it, and then it will probably work better than just trying to keep up on a schedule which is what posting each chapter as I finish with it will do to me. Oh, I know I’m not on someone else’s schedule here, but that’s what it feels like if I post as I go instead of getting a good base of fic to post bit-by-bit…meh. Maybe I’m neurotic or something. But that’s just how it works with me.

Oh, it seems that slashiness in all its form have decided to invade my dreams. I have actually started dreaming about pairings and how one would write them. It’s getting a bit weird, but it’s something that I’ve just got to deal with, I guess…it’s almost as though this homoerotic shit is something that I enjoy reading and writing about. Gee, wonder where I could have gotten that idea. And wonder how well this sarcasm comes across in text. XD

But seriously. I’m wondering why it seems that other people’s muses are starting to bug me. Or is it that my muses are bugging other people’s muses and then bringing what they find to torture me with…Whatever it is, it’s starting to get really annoying.

::muses glare::

Did I say ‘annoying’? I meant to say ‘splendid,’ yeah, that was it…

Scary muses. I guess I’ll stop arguing with them before they pull the whips out on me.
