icarusI am scared of this fic.
I have 24 post-its, a stack a 1/4" high that I'm finally transcribing.
Post-it #1 just worked out to be 10 pages of fic.
*Icarus does math. No. This story can't possibly be 240 pages long. Some of these post-its have to be shorter.*
I'm exhausted just writing this story. Reading it has me limp as a dish-rag.
You guys ever have a story where the action just overwhelms everything else? What do you do? Beat it back with a chair?

There's no way you can mess up.
Er. I hope that's true.
It's all about the inner dialog, baby!
The very conclusion I reached after talking to Redblaze.
I think I'm going to focus on the action first to make sure the pacing's good. Draco just ran off the page of my outline because of some unexpected trouble. Shit. How am I gonna get him out of this? My original solution is now impossible.
or getting horny in such an inappropiate situation because your fighting partner looks very hot being all macho.
Actually, the three of them are all split up at this point. I checked with a military analyst, and what you want to do is take out the barracks, communications, defenses and leadership.
No one ever said Ron's plan wasn't ambitious. *grim smile*
