Ah, the effectiveness of a deadline.

Progress on Out Of Bounds at long last.

The next four chapters have been sketched out. And music chosen!

And the massive outline of the rest of the story is done (thank you to perfica for batting ideas around with me).

What? It's a long story. :D

electricandroid, I think I'm going to make that deadline.

Brilliant! I am struggling away with the fic I told you about - it is going to require serious editing and fleshing out but just pushing forward with it.

Can't wait to read OOB. Home with migraine today. Nice!

And re your IM - have not watched it, but anyone with sense will realise you started OOB way before the other!

Awesome!

I've been meaning to ask, especially since I've come to this story just recently: what's your background with ice skating?
Its very obvious that you know more than the average bear.

(I figure skated for 6 years, never competed or did anything like that.)

Yay! I love getting progress updates almost as much as the updates themselves :)

My pleasure. Excel is a wonderful tool ;-)

Excel is the greatest. :D And this has been fun.

Oh, cool. I'll give more of them then. :D

Barely any figure skating experience at all. I grew up on a lake in Michigan. it froze in the winter. I skated. That's about it.

I fell in love with figure skating watching Scott Hamilton sweep the gold in 1984, then watched irregularly (an Olympics only viewer) for a couple decades.

Everything in depth about figure skating I've learned during the research for Out Of Bounds over the last year (part of why it's taken me so long to write it, research takes time, my friend), info from places like the Golden Skate forums, and two competitive skaters who've been reading Out Of Bounds for a while.

Here's the magic pixie dust for easy writing. Use sparingly. A little goes a long way.

Saw Blades Of Glory. Pure slapstick silliness. I loved it.

Okay, I didn't exactly make that deadline, but I did get relatively close. Are you online in Malta? *quirks head*
