revelations
Dec. 6th, 2002 09:51 pmBlue cheese vache qui rit is really, really good. *weeps* I was hoping it would suck, because it's more expensive. And you get less. But oh my god.
You know what. Ever since I finished Origins I've been working on this other massive ass fic, which is fairly widely distributed at this point even though it really shouldn't be. That massive ass fic is about 65K words right now, and is on chapter 13, and I'm mildly stalled on it for good, creative reasons that don't worry me. But. Here's the thing. That fic came out differently than my other fics did, because it wasn't being published in the same way, there wasn't as many people interested in how it was going, and I felt free to go back and change things. There's one character whose name changes three times within the story, and I still keep forgetting his damn name and I refer to him in conversation with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
snooks_ranting as "Bad Guy", or just "BG" for short. Oh, I'll fix all that later. It's just a name. Search and replace!
So now I'm writing a serial fic again, and good lord. You have no idea how tempted I am to go back and change things already. And I've only written a prologue. Not that anyone will really care, it's not going to be a fic I think most people will be interested in anyway, but suddenly I'm feeling the restrictions of serialization. It didn't bother me before because I never looked back. Hell, I've barely even read my own fics let alone go back over them. One draft, one read through if I'm bored, and that's it. I'm terrible really, I should be taken out back and shot for that kind of thing.
I feel very differently about this one. This tiny little story, comparatively. Where all my other fics take place over about a year, this one is going to be roughly two weeks. Maybe three, tops. I really dislike having to represent the passage of time, so I've decided that this is something I'd like to avoid if possible. So I'm going to try to write a long fic in a short span of time and see how that goes.
And while this is still an H/D fic, it's not going to be as H/D as Origins or something. It's just not. This is Ginny's story. I know lots of people hate Ginny, and that's fine, you don't have to read this. I'm tempted to just say it's not H/D at all so that no one will be disappointed. At this point, I'm just less interested in making Draco angst over Harry, I think he's a bit beyond all that at this point. There are things I'd like to cover, but...well, I don't know. It probably will be in this fic, but it's not the centre of it.
I'm not even sure at this point if it will even be femslash or not. Directly. The suggestion will undoubtedly be there, but I'm not sure how far it will go yet. Will have to see when I get there. You know what I mean?
Well, great. Just great. *weeps* I think I just saw a twinkle of the sequel to THIS while writing this post. Oh good lord. Just...shoot me now.
