It's such a pain, because can't I just blow something up already? Sadly, Rodney Whump Moment #1 is still a little ways off. Soooo hard not to skip straight to that.
Of course, I have a tendency to write scenes out of order (in fact, I wrote the Cousins series out of order, let alone scenes! Part 2 was finished before Part 1, and Part 4 long before Part 3!!!) - or in the case of a recent one, go straight into the angst or action bit and then think, hmm, I need to write a set up bit first or else I'm constantly explaining past stuff - to an extent that's going to annoy the reader!!
Heh, the temptation to skip to the good stuff is a big one. And wow, you really wrote Cousins in a flip floppy order -- however each one of those was self-contained. All you had to do was keep the history in your mind, right? ;) Speaking of, any chance of a Part 5? I adore BigBrother/BigCousin John, and the whumper in me wonders how he's going to take the events of things such as... "The Storm"...
I think for "Dead or Alive", I wrote the abduction scene first, then the final ending scene, and started filling in various bits and pieces from then. I know I wrote Ford and Teyla's stuff last. I honestly wish I could jump around in this one, but, well... the characters are in such a different place than they are in the series.
Part of me is wondering if I can somehow use a different plot. I mean, I love SuperSpy!Rodney, but the beginning is much harder than I thought it'd be.
Speaking of WIPs... I ran into "Desolation" in my inbox. Is it too soon to give you a good intentioned poke on that one? ;)
And that was me. Somehow was not logged in for that one. Oh, I can't even blame it on lack of coffee this morning, as I've got two separate cups I'm drinking out of right now.

You are now officially called Grey McKay, King of the Coffee!!!
And ow, quit it with the poking!! *g*
Okay, I know, I know, Desolation and its sequels are on my list to do this year (fingers crossed)!! And as for a Part 5 to Cousins - I have an idea but it just won't turn into a story atm! But I'm not giving up hope on it!
It might take some time, but hopefully they'll all get done!
And SuperSpy!Rodney sounds great...can't wait to read it (though I know I have to *sad face*)!
Hee! I swear that's not the caffeine jitters speaking.
And ow, quit it with the poking!! *g*
Poking? I don't know what you're talking about! *g*
And no rush on those guys... just ran across it this weekend and got curious how it was coming along. Not that, I, er, have any room to speak. *nudges poor, languishing Big Bang fic*
can't wait to read it (though I know I have to *sad face*)!
And you know... Official Big Bang Cheerleaders™ don't have to wait as long as everyone else. Jes' sayin' ;)
Wave a pom pom? Heh... I just added that ™ on for fun. Basically you gobble up obscene amounts of text and generally stroke that authorial ego ;) Thanks to a powerhouse write off last night I'm past the 5K mark... although not much has happened yet I'm afraid. Setup setup setup.
