Sub-par fic posts of the last few days...

brought to you by Hmpf's subconscious desire to demonstrate why she better take years over any fic.

Seriously, without my insane kind of patience, that kind of stuff would be all you'd get from me.

Scary, eh?

*Much* better to wait.


(Epilogue will go back into revision, too, of course. Though I'd still welcome concrit here - I've been trying to "fix" that one for so long that I kind of suspect I need someone to look it over with fresh eyes, because I just can't "see" it properly anymore.)

Insomnia. Yay.

Offline till Saturday

Family stuff; staying at a place without internet connection, probably.

Oh, and this bit from a comments conversation (at dreamwidth) seems like I should post it in a more visible place:

>>BTW, I really hope all my talking about The MAD Doctrine hereabouts hasn't built up your expectations too much. I'm kinda terrible when I've finished something (and also before I finish something, come to think of it :D) - I just can't stop talking about it.

It's perfectly okay to be underwhelmed by the fic. Just saying. :-) I mean, reactions so far have been really good, and even without feedback I would be pretty sure I have a good story there, on some level. But ultimately fic is at least as much about hitting the right "kink" buttons as it is about the technicalities of writing, so even a good story may fall flat for some readers. And also, of course, opinions on what's a good story, even just on technical terms, vary... and even I may come to think, eventually, that The MAD Doctrine wasn't that good after all. It's just pretty damn good for me at my current level of skill, but that's a rather relative kind of "good". :D

- Just seemed like a thing I should perhaps say clearly and in public, seeing as how I've been monologising about my fic for months here, now.
