the_deep_magicHello, wonderful flist! Just thought I'd let you know how the last part of Training Wheels is coming along, since you've all been so supportive and polite (e.g. not threatening me when it's not being posted fast enough). It's mostly written, but I spent today reworking a large part that I wasn't happy with, so with final edits it should be ready to post tomorrow night, Monday night at the latest. The good news is that there will be plenty to read -- right now, I'm looking at a 7000+ word chapter and a 4000 word epilogue. Totally did not expect that.
I'll probably say it again in the author's notes, but a huge THANK YOU to everyone that's read and commented -- and even those of you who have read but not commented, or are waiting to read 'til it's finished. This might be the longest single thing that I've ever written (~37,000 words at present, which is just a sneeze to some people but is a huge deal to me) and I have learned that I am naturally more of a sprinter than a marathon runner, so my endurance definitely needs work. Honestly, before I started posting it, I read over what I had and wondered if it was even all that interesting, as nobody really wants to sit in and listen to someone else's therapy. But your reactions have kept me going and probably helped the fic to grow longer and fuller than it would have been if I'd waited to post it all at once. Please to enjoy my non-intentional innuendo there while you wait.
TL;DR -- Next chapter Sunday-ish; you guys rock!

Date: 2010-10-09 11:10 pm (UTC)I think the pace you posted this story was great. Week and a half, at most, or mostly long enough to keep us waiting. I've always liked the longer fics you've done (gives me a chance to prop my feet up and get my read on). While you may not describe EVERYTHING that goes on, like the weeks we didn't hear about in Zachs therapy, it's nice to dwell on what happened, fill it in with our own thoughts. Doesn't matter what you write in the end though, it's ALWAYS GOOD.
So yes. I. Can't. WAIT.
Also, another dumb question: what does TL;DR mean? I'm so behind on terminology these days...
