The fic never dies!

Wednesday, December 16, 2009 1:11 AM

Been intending to blog for a few weeks now, but it’s easy to convince myself that folks have moved on and it’s just silly to update on my fic yet again. But this one’s for Tag, who left a comment on my latest chapter of Back Stories III, 7 months old now…

I set myself a challenge for nanowrimo, the month of November, 2009. I didn’t meet my goal, but I at least got something done: I managed a good 8000 words which set out 4 chapters past the 3 new ones already written. That’s enough to link up my posted chapters to certain pivotal scenes I wrote three years ago. This is very good news, since holiday break is only days away and I mean to fill these brand new chapters out and get back to posting during break.

I can’t apologize enough for the delays, but I assure anyone who still recalls the plot I’ve spun that there is indeed an end planned, and it will be reached. Not a “the gods did it all” cop-out like some shows (I’ve been watching BSG lately—love the show, don’t love the series ending.) I’ve got a real I’ve-been-intending-this-since-early-2006 type ending. I haven’t chosen my plot randomly is what I mean to say.

Uh… almost. I can’t promise to catch all the nuances that Joss’s amazing characters brings to the stage, and my readers and fellow writers have left comments pointing out things beyond what I intended. I find that cool, even if I might not quite live up to it. I’ve done my best to tie up all the plot threads I intentionally left hanging over the years, and I think I’ve got most of them.

One disclaimer required: I’ll state right now that there’s a certain scene I imagined a few years back, then rejected as too challenging to most readers who like my stuff. I recently reread the original version and liked it too much to cut it. Stick in there and don’t hate me, is all I can say.
