I'm at that point where I'm almost afraid to read my AinA fic over one last time before the archive opens, in case despite the editing/beta-ing/etc. I missed something really damned obvious or... IDK. Something ( Read more... )

Just over when it's all good words is better than way over with bad words. And your words are good ones.

Thank you. <3 I sometimes still get caught up in the fact that I'm never going to be a 20,000-word-epic-fic writer. Heh.

Don't feel alone, I've been neurotically editing all day and there's still stuff. Whatever, there is ALWAYS stuff. Finally stopped now, because Kenaz had asked us to get done by noon her time :D

Length doesn't mean a thing. Mine is a darn epic, which just means more things to mess up. I'm glad you signed up, I've missed your fiction, though I know offline takes a lot of time and focus and that it's hard following two creative paths at once.

Do you get to the point where the neurosis kicks in enough that you're sitting there changing single words at a time? Heh. I do. Despite having called it 'done' - because of the aforementioned noon deadline :D - I'm still like... but what if I MISSED SOMETHING? Gah.

Yay. <3 I'm glad to be back, even in some capacity. You said it re: two creative paths - it's wonderful, but it sucks up time and brain like nothing else.

Eee I cannot wait to have so many new things to read! I always look forward to your fics - they're always gorgeous.

Single words? Ummm ...

Catch. No, caught. Maybe catching? No, caught.
Reached for?

Yeah, I get that one :D Most of them I just spot scrolling back down to the paragraph I'm fighting with or looking for the change I marked on the file and it hits me in the eye that THAT ISN'T RIGHT! But I guess the good thing is that there is actually a fic to wrestle with. For a while it felt like there wouldn't be *g*.

I'm looking forward to it, Anna! And I understand completely, I hesitated to press 'post' for the same reasons but eventually you just have to take a huge breath and do it.
