WTF AHAHA
AHAHAHA. *laughs hysterically*

I WROTE 10,000 WORDS OVER THE COURSE OF THE LAST FOUR DAYS. Well, three days really, because yesterday I was so out of it due to sickness I basically slept for thirty hours straight.

BUT DUDE. 10,000 WORDS, AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN HAD SEX YET. I've maybe written a third of the story, if I'm good.

My longest posted fic to date has a word count of 8,200 words. And it was HP, NOT A FREAKING RPS AU FIC!!! I've not even any experience to speak of in this fandom aside from reading a solid 3+ million words over the course of the last six or seven months. (I'm not even exaggerating; I'm keeping a list, and every once in a while I go count the amount of words I have listed. WAH.)

YES YOU'RE READING ALL OF THAT RIGHT. I'M SCARING MYSELF HERE. AS YOU CAN SEE FROM MY ABUSE OF CAPSLOCK. I'VE NEVER HAD A FIC WRITE ITSELF. I've written 3,000 words today and I want to do more still, just as it was the other two days I worked on this. WTF???

	Yay. It feel so good when fics start to live their own lives and one simply has to write down what the characters are doing running off on their own. (Reply to this) (Thread)

I was actually thinking of you the moment after I posted this, LOL!

It definitely feels good, and I've had this kind of experience to some extent before - just not to this. I think it's the obvious chemistry I don't have to extricate from my main characters - as opposed to HP, where I lean towards antagonistic pairings - and the fact that it's AU, meaning I have to establish their relationship all by myself and can't work with anything given; kind of like the riding!AU, really, just ten times easier. It scares me, but it's also elating. I've decided to stop after reaching the 10K today; I don't want to write so much I have to heavily edit afterwards because I was writing without thinking about the overall picture just a tiny bit, but I'm pretty sure I'll continue tomorrow where I left off. I have a solid outline (yay!) and a couple scenes from later in the fic half-written out, and it just. Feels. Damn. Good.

Yeah.

	Yay! AND THEY HAVEN'T EVEN HAD SEX YET. BEST LINE EVER. I don't know why it's so funny? Maybe because fic never STARTS with sex, and you know a fic is close to ending when there's smexing :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

Sadly, they will have sex for the first time maybe a third into the fic (so maybe when I hit the 12K... they'll start with the smexing? I hope). It's a tale of a summer affair that grows into more, then of course there's a big conflict, things fall to pieces, then they meet again...

It's not the most awesome of awesome plots, as far as RPS AUs go (and man, have I read a great many!), but everybody's got to begin somewhere, I figure, eh? ;)

Hi hon, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, the weekend was just ... crazy. Went to the prom of my old school, what should have been MY prom and it was, well, very strange. And the Dark Tower more or less knocked me over. And I should be learning. And Germany lost the finals (and it was their own damn fault). Erm, yes. Never mind me. Hope you feel better soon *hugs tightly*

Ha, another friend's prom was also weird, from what I've heard, but in your case it's perfectly understandable (from my perspective) as you haven't been a student at that school for well over two years, no?

Yeah, the final was kinda disappointing. It's sad that our best match was the one where Jogi had to sit up there. Makes me wonder, yanno?

It's better today - not so much depressed but numb, heh. It's okay as long as I'm around other people, but as soon as I'm alone - WHAM. It's unnerving and tiring. *sighs and eyerolls at self* *shrugs* It'll go away.
