How is it the end of September already?

[greyias]

I was looking at the calendar this morning, and realized a little sheepishly that this Thursday was the day I had signed up to participate in sgabigbang's September promotion. Like usual, I completely lost track of time and therefore haven't given it too much thought (whoops). So, in the great tradition of greyias procrastination... I turn to my f-list and those random passerbys for help.

I could probably talk about the story and the universe it takes place in at great length, but I thought it might be nice to address any questions, concerns, or curiosities that people had (if there are any.)

For those who have read my epic monster (known in some circles as See No Evil), are there any burning questions you've been wanting to ask? Or possibly things you're mildly curious about -- be something within the story itself, questions on the writing process, why the heck I did X/Y/Z, where does everyone go from here, did I make my beta cry, or even how many meltdowns and writerly rants I forced my poor support group to endure? I'm pretty much game for anything.

Also, if anyone hasn't read it but has a question, feel free to ask as well. The more the merrier!

Ohohoh, I totally second the call for a sequel! And I'll be a cheerleader, too. I have LOTS of experience (ask xparrot...though, um, as a warning, I can sometimes go a bit...er...overboard? *wince* especially when it comes to the h/c...people have noted in the past the tendency for um...the h/c levels to dramatically increase upon my joining the cheering squad. Um...oops? ^_-)

And question about "See No Evil," feel free to skip this if it's not what you're looking for...but, in the fic, was there ever any point you were tempted to take it...farther? In the McShep direction, I mean. It's probably my own personal biases/loves, but there were several moments that felt rather pre-slash to me ^_-.

Haha... you have no idea what you're volunteering for. I'm surprised Leesa's asking again, especially with how many times she had to talk me down from that metaphorical ledge.

Wait, is this a bad thing? ;)

Actually... that's a really good one! It was definitely something that came up *g*

Well, as xparrot just commented, reading over my shoulder, I've had to talk her down off of plenty of metaphorical ledges. Not being a writer myself, I get a major charge out of working through stories with people, cheering and squeeing and being a sounding board when things need to be worked out. Let's me be a part of a process I love that I'm not much good at myself ^_-

And occasionally lets me influence the story to my own evil, nefarious, h/ca ways. Buwahahahaha! ^_- Okay, so I may have an unhealthy h/c love? Oops? ^_- And in SGA, this means I likey my Rodney hurt...but seeing as you seem totally, happily, wonderfully on board with that, the cheer leading will be a cinch ^_-.

I have entirely too much fun trying to brainstorm solutions with someone else about corners I wind up writing myself into. And I almost need to have another mind to bounce things off of, because otherwise I wind up getting way too focused on inconsequential details.

Okay, so I may have an unhealthy h/c love?

Again, this is a bad thing? ;) Especially when it leads to more Rodney whump! (Actually, I sometimes have a hard time convincing myself to take the whump very far, because I'm afraid I'll kill someone without realizing it.)
