slr2moons | Eeeee....it's a heady drug!

I definitely need to upgrade to a paid account and make myself some new icons. I don't have one that even begins to describe my current joy. XD

Now that the English is almost entirely out of the way, I allowed myself the luxury of spending the past 7 hours working on part three of my Distracting and a Great Bother fanfic. To be honest, it probably only amounts to an actual 3 hours of writing, since I was writing in snippets here and there on Utena while I worked, in the usual fashion, on Tsukushi. That is, until the end of the chapter, when I was bad and let myself write for an hour straight so I could focus and give the ending the attention it deserved. *has a little guilt, but not much*

Nooo...not much. *very satisfied grin* I am rather pleased with part three. I was able to include a key element I had envisioned from the very first moment this idea germinated back in November. I was also able to include one of the humorous bits I thought up a few weeks ago and made sure to jot down for future notice. AND my paragraph where I figured out precisely what Gaara-sama was thinking through all of this was a huge help. To cap it all off, the finale was completely different from what I had expected! I was burning along, happy as could be. I typed up the Key Element from the Beginning, then I turned to work a bit more on a page of Clay, my mind racing with Fanfic ideas, when BAM! It hit me! So I went with it. I can honestly say that in all my musings about DaaGB, this idea never occurred to me. Not once. This changes so much of my story, even an important event I had been saving until the very end. But DAMN! It works, and it works splendidly!!! Heeheeheee!!! ~~That's giddy laughter, BTW. And I need to tweak Gaara-sama's POV paragraph to match. Hmmmm.~~

And it made my own fic bring me to tears, and they weren't of joy. O_o Is that normal?

*grins again anyway* Writing can bring such euphoria....and can cause such extremely opposite reactions. I was also typing along tonight, my mind racing ahead as always, when BAM again! I found an idea that had me in stitches. I was seriously laughing for several minutes!! So yes, I included that, too. ^^V

Now I will live with part three for at least a week, rereading and tweaking a couple of times, before I pronounce it ready for beta-ing. ^^ It's already 2,369 words long, which is 200 words longer than part two. And upon re-reading I almost always expand moments. Thus, it appears part three will be the longest segment for quite a bit, at least for a while. ^^

Upon completion of part 2, I had foreseen my fic being 4 chapters long. Now that I think about it, that might still be true. Maybe it could last for a 5th chapter, but with my current plans for events...not likely. Hmmmm. When I was writing it, I thought this new BAM ending for part three would make a 5th chapter a definite. Interesting.

In about a week, part three will be posted here for beta-ing (if Star-chan has time, of course. School is more important!) and naturally it wil be Friends-locked. I don't want any strangers reading my virgin fanfic!! *clutches Ai-kun and Minami protectively to her breast* Once the beta-ing is finished, up the fic goes on The Pit and Lunaescence. ^^

I wonder if I'll be able to wait a couple of days so I can get some prespective before I read it over again. Hmmmm. ~~I want to read it again NOW!!! ><~~

Writing fanfic is sooo much fun! Why, oh WHY did I wait this long to try it?!?!
