A fic that's longer than planned is like finding a $20 in your coat pocket.
Ha! Absolutely true.
JZ, I'm super excited that you're writing fic! If you want a beta at some point, I'd gladly volunteer. I assume this is for OFMD?

In my (not so) copious finished pieces there are two where I didn't recognize the ending and just kept going, until I took a breath and went, "Wait--" turned around and looked back, and the story had finished. Back there. Sometimes that can happen too.

I'd love that! I think it may be done fairly soon.

Yep. The completely G-rated childhood backstory Pushing Daisies crossover I described in the other thread.
As a voracious fanfic reader, I have never ever read a fic where I thought "Oh, this is longer than originally planned? That blows!"
I agree. Although I have gotten to the end of something and thought "what? That's it? So soon??"
Done, at almost 12.5K words. I literally don't think I have completed any work of fiction in any form, with a nice distinct beginning, middle and end, in a quarter century. Hec very kindly let me spend the entire weekend deep in my own head, but now that I'm out again I feel a little wobbly.
*cheers*
You had fic Pon Farr.
I just miss writing. I used to do it all the time and feel like this all the time, and now I do it none of the time, except just now. And it was only playing with someone else's toys in someone else's sandbox, but it was words and words and words, and they fit together so beautifully, and I have SO many purely original pieces I've never finished. I still feel gnawing dread that I'll never be able to do it again, but I had a moment near the end of this where I almost stopped too but I pushed through it, so if this, then maybe those?
BTW, if anyone doesn't know my fannish name, you can email me at my profile address. So far for OFMD, I've got a ficlet and a vid.

A vid, eh? I am intrigued!
Yes, please!
