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??"
Angel: Is that what you think you are--a hero? Spike: Saved the world didn't I? Angel: Once. Talk to me after you've done it a couple more times.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

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.

Wee adorable little drabble of a ficlet in the form of a script for the extended version of the co-captain scene (Not mine, just one I found, but it's so good and delightful! Mine is, uh, about 90,000 times longer).

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I love Fic Pon Farr. Congratulations! (off to read)
