They really were! After the Opera House show I said, "Top Five Concert" but I think the request show was even better. Although part it was probably positioning -- we were about half-way back in the stalls at the OH, but seventh row centre for the request show, and that close, I find you tend to get enveloped by the performance.
I'm at the point where I'm convinced every scene is boring but yes, I'm excited about the progress! My longest previous story was about 18k, so it feels kind of amazing just to have written that much.
Ditto on the superhero ambivalence. I feel like the hugest spoilsport, since that's all most of fandom seems to care about these days, but...the 'meh'. It's just too strong. I can't fight it.
Tori Amos! Double Amos, even! Right on!
Ridiculously Long Juni is the BEST kind of Juni. And honestly, just knowing that it exists and that you're actively working on it, however minimally, is almost as awesome as actually getting to read it! (I have a fic like that too, one that I only ever seem to pull out in the spring/early summer, when seasonal hay fever turns me into a hermit. Three years and counting and there's still no real plot, but there IS a meticulous eight page sequence where JC does some very suggestive butter churning, so. Win? Win. :)
Ridiculously long juni *is* the best kind of juni! Sometimes, when I'm re-reading bits and get carried away and read three or four more scenes, I think that the real reason I started writing this was so I could read it afterwards. (:
Nah, more of an ill-conceived "Little House'/'Anne of Green Gables' mash-up...thing. But so far there's mostly just...butter-churning. And a church picnic that's fraught with angst. :)
That's right! If no one else is gonna write your fantasy fic, you might as well just hike up your pants and do it yourself! Gumption, yo.

The Tori Amos shows sound amazing. I'm also wowed by the epic-ness of this Juni story - 70k omg. But yay for scene progress!

I have very fond feelings for an Amish AU that Liz wrote. Have you read that one? I think it was a sesa story, probably around 2003.
