Stick a fork in me... I'm done!

Somehow...

...it totally happened.

The rough draft is El Finito, and hey, I don't completely hate the story anymore and want it to die a fiery death, so things are looking up.

The Final (probably to change during massive edits) Word Count:

Zokutou word meterZokutou word meter
81,323 / 40,000
(203.3%)

Um, yeahhhh... that's not a typo. Now I know I said I was totally going to wrap this up without approaching the 70,000 mark, but apparently some people had a lot to say, and in general don't shut up no matter how much I wish for them to so I can finish and get some sleep and I'm totally not bitter in my run on sentences.

I would like to thank the Academy...

Actually, in all seriousness, I owe a huge, huge thanks to a lot of people for their support during this, but I want to give a special shout out to three people in particular: [profile] twit1217, [personal profile] leesa_perrie, and [personal profile] kristen999. Without their constant support, research help, "Get some sleep, Grey", cheering, write-offs, "DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP ON ME", cat macros, and emergency plot session cell phone calls, I'm pretty sure I would have given into despair and quit months ago. Thank you guys, seriously, thank you.

Now... now I can sleep.

That icon, that's totally me right now!

We all made it!

We did! Team Eleven for the win! Actually, I think there was one other gen writer who made it, so that makes four! I'm so stupidly happy right now that not only did I finish, but so many other people did. We rock!

Enjoy that for a while :D

I'm practically walking on air today. I mean... *incoherent flailing* I think I must have made some sacrifice to a writing god somewhere. The word count amazes me, because I swear it doesn't feel that long.
