You may have noticed a certain... lack of posting from me as of late. Well, there's a reason for that.

61,133 / 40,000

As you can see, just a tiny reason.

I absolutely refuse to try and guess the ending word count (okay... hopefully under 70K... dang it, how does it keep growing?) The good news is I'm finally at the point where I do see a light at the end of the tunnel. Almost all the ducks are in a row, and it's just about time to start knocking them down for a hopefully big finale. Heck, it could even have a (tentative) title, meaning I might avoid that lengthy, soul draining angst fest at the end of the project.

This does assume I reach the end of the project and don't fall prey to the stress/angst trying to consume me in my professional life (which is my other reason for being quiet. I don't like to unload about those kinds of things).

The good news: I finally have my hotel stuff ironed out for Comic Con! Woohoo! Anyone on my f-list heading to sunny San Diego at the end of the month?

"Freedom is Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose". Oh. My. God. That one kept me up that night. Literally kept me AWAKE. Very powerful read, incredibly sad, but beautiful. I haven't read the sequel yet, because I'm a wooz and I need my sleep.

even if I was going "No, no, no, nooooo!" during the sex scenes...

Wait, (I haven't read the whole thing yet) they keep having sex after they ... find out?? Nooo.

(ETA: because I pressed the wrong button :))

I've been putting off reading it "Freedom..." because I know it's sad, and that the dynamic duo is cut in half, but from everything I've read it sounds like something I have to read at some point because of it's inherent awesomeness. I think I might load it on my Kindle so I can read it in my room. I've got the feeling it's one of those that will likely make me cry.

*squirms* Um... how far you into it now?

It will. You're gonna cry your eyes out. He's so .. alone, and he tries so hard to keep it together.

lim made a wonderful vid: This is How It Works (http://www.imeem.com/sublim/video/Tk2siKdd/this_is_how_it_works/) to go with the fic, but (in my humble opinion) Dreams (http://newkidfan.livejournal.com/143859.html) by

newkidfan goes even better with it.

*squirms* Um... how far you into it now?

Well, right now I'm at work, illegally e-mailing with you, so not very far. *g*

I'll read the rest tonight. If it gets too smutty I'll avert my eyes. :D

LOL, I think I'm just going to have to assign a night to read it. I mean, it can't have like 200+ saves on del.icio.us for no reason ;)

Ooh,

newkidfan did a vid to it? I'll have to check that one out, and

lim's as well (after reading of course, so there's context).

Pfft, seeing as how it's like, days later, did you ever finish? XD

Newkidfan's vid wasn't made for "Freedom..." but it fits the story perfectly! It's only two minutes long, but it's so beautiful and wistful and, and ... well, Read and watch, you'll see what I mean *hands you a box of tissues thru the internetz*

Still haven't finished the incest smut. And I printed "Victors" five months ago *upturns stacks of papers looking for it* and I was surprised at how short it is. I thought it was epic novel size, but it's shorter than your Big Bang I think. :D
