Fic wrestled into submission! Film at 11.

[fignewton]

Finally. FINALLY, after being stalled for two solid weeks at the halfway point, my sd_ficathon has been packed off to the beta reader!

I will have to consider this a practical lesson; this is my first ficathon, after all. But next time I do something like this on a deadline, I am going to stick to the "1,000 word minimum" ballpark figure instead of allowing Sam and Daniel to whap me over the head with my keyboard and run off gleefully with the plotline, leaving me stuck with a fic that clocks in at over 17,000 words before my wonderful beta gets her hands on it. I'm all for long stories, and I'm cautiously pleased with the results, but not when the fic is due five days for now!

Still need a title. My titles either leap into my brain before the first paragraph gets written or sulk in a corner, refusing to come out.

How about you, my fellow Sam and Daniel fans? Have the Wonder Twins waylaid you, or do you think you'll be ready to post on the 15th?

Wow. LONG fic. I'm so excited to read it!!!!!

I've done, um, three ficathons before this one and have definitely gone over the limit (though only to about 5000 and 9000 words none of your crazy 17,000 :) ). So I totally understand.

*hands you gold star for finishing*

My Wonder Twins are still being evil. They apparently don't like the plot I want to shove them into because they aren't playing nice At All. Which is dumb, because usually they behave so well. I think they're just crabby because I wrote them a long, angsty fic in April and they don't want to play again so soon or something...

All I can say is thank god for the extra week.

I think everyone really, really appreciates the extra week. :) I know I do. Now I can tweak and fiddle at my leisure.
