YAY! OMG! Also? WOOT!
In the past few days, I've doubled the size of an SGA story I've been working on since forever, filling in with actual prose all the bits that were once mere outline! I'm up to page 20! I have so much work to do, but I can't seem to tear myself away from the computer for more than eating and sleeping

Congrats!
I spent the week doing some ill-timed fic writing, but somehow managed to post several short pieces and finish my 30 page thesis. (Yay, me!)
And yay, you!
And you're correct - just get the ideas down, you can make pretty later on. Get out of your own way and just write.
Good luck!

Thirty-page thesis FTW! Always good to write for fun, but writing for grades is the most important. What was the thesis on?
I'm afraid that what I'm writing is so wordy, it will put people off, but it's related to the "Ten Tiny Tales" Stargate thing I posted last week -- which was word-heavy. I could get away with it with short little ficlets, not so sure it works as well in a full-sized & plotted story. But I'm getting the words down, as you said -- get out of the way & write is good advice!

The first series is rather eclipsed by the second one now - they went back and started the story over again, this time tracking the manga more closely and, now that the manga-ka has finished it, right through to the end, which was incredibly satisfying. The second series was MUCH better than first in terms of plausible story and characterization, but the first had some truly gorgeous animation and character design. As for the movie (there's a second one on the way), it made a lot of people angry, but me, I was just so awed by the animation and how incredibly beautiful everyone was (oh, that Edward Elric...), that I didn't care. We'd gotten more when we thought it was over... And then the new series came. (& ppl. were v. happy...) And now, a new movie in production ( ... )
