Frell, I need to rewrite all those crappy Lyric Wheel stories.

[hmpf]

I just took a look at some of them, and god, there's so much embarrassing stuff in there. I really, really shouldn't try to publish anything in under a couple of months, ever. It always shows. I'm generally happy enough with my non-Lyric Wheel stories which usually only get released after thorough rewriting and editing, but I'm vaguely embarrassed about *all* my LW stories. Bad dialogue, OOC moments, all kinds of small but annoying things. Nothing that couldn't be mended by a few rounds of rewriting and editing, mind you - but that, they *are* badly in need of.

Shame I have so much other stuff to do. But I really should at least edit them a bit sometime soon, if only for my own peace of mind. Especially if I'm seriously re-entering HL fandom, thus increasing the chance of people actually finding my website, and my fic with it...

Sorry to hear you've been sick, and I hope you'll feel better soon! And don't worry about the fic, there's no hurry. I mean, obviously I'm sitting here biting my nails with anxiety until it's done, but then, you probably did the same when I said I'd give feedback on your vid and then promply failed to do so for weeks upon weeks! So, as they say, turnabout is fair play! ;-)

But seriously, there really is no hurry, and the anxiety is at survivable levels. *g*

And thanks for the compliments. I reread some of my old stuff yesterday (as in: reread at length, not glanced at for a moment) and saw that it wasn't as bad as it had seemed to me when I made that post. The very first story I wrote in fandom is crap all right, but the rest is decidedly salvageable, with some really nice stuff to balance out the bad stuff in most of them even now. I think I *will* try to rewrite at least one of them sometime, just to see how good I can make it. There's enough good in there for me to want to make it better...
