Writing, Dark Skies Looming Over, and Loooooong Waits
I was just getting frustrated because a comic I really like is now discontinued, but then I realized that my writing projects may as well be. They aren’t, I swear, but I still have comments from six months ago to reply to, and readers who probably think I don’t give a crap. But I do, life is just crazy. To those of you who are on my tumblr for my writing, I’m sorry I’ve only been posting Supernatural stuff lately. I just thought it was better than nothing. To be fair, I haven’t updated anything at all on any of my other sites.
I AM still working on Dark Skies, it’s just taking a while. Because I don’t ever want to do this to you guys again, I’m trying to get at least ten mostly polished chapters written before I start posting again, so that that way I have at least ten months of buffer, since lord knows I have made people wait that long and longer. I will never, EVER again post an unfinished project, at least not one that isn’t mostly finished. It just stresses me out, and then I end up lucky enough to have awesome readers, and then those readers are disappointed in the end because I don’t follow through. So what I’m trying to say is, there WILL be another update of Dark Skies, and I’m really, REALLY hoping it will be this year, BUT once it happens, you won’t have to wait forever again, because I’ll have at least ten chapters written, like I said.
Once again, I’m so sorry for taking as long as I have, and thank you so much, all of you who have stuck with me through this.
He’s just so adorable!
Okay, I admit, I gave into the Misha crazy a little. But how could I not? He’s so cute! Anyway, no one can accuse me of spamming them, cause I didn’t post much, but still sorry if you were already annoyed by the tons that was being posted, haha. In the meantime, I’m still trying to make some new friends here, so if you’re a stranger out there, add me if you’re into Supernatural, yaoi, writing, horror, feminism, animals, bugs… all that good stuff. I’ll add you back. ^^

Jamie and Jack meet again.
Credit to every artist for these adorable photos >w< Seriously, how do you guys do it? :’D
Last photo is meant to be a flashbaaaack~
Oh good, I’m really glad to see I’m not the only one who ships this. I never write fanfic, but I had an idea for Jack and adult Jamie from the moment I saw the trailer, and the movie set it up nicely. So this may actually be my first fanfic, and I’m glad to see some people would approve of the main couple.

Today my boyfriend asked me what my kinks/fetishes/turns on were. I can’t tell him the truth.
Forever relevant
This is so weird to me, because I can’t imagine dating someone without them knowing such a big thing about me. I seriously reveal this pretty early on in any dating situation, whether it comes up in conversation or not. Sometimes I just flat out tell a guy the moment he starts hitting on me to see how he reacts. For one, I’d never in a million years date a homophobe, and two, chances are he likes lesbian porn, so if he has a problem with my interests, he can suck it.
The woes of writing
I recently got out of the hospital after the world tried to kill me. I’m not 100%, but I’m feeling a lot better than I did. Even though I had an IV, they stuck me no less than 20 times during my stay for one reason or another, and I feel kind of drained still. I have so much stuff to do still, and my writing has really fallen behind. I was supposed to start some film projects this summer. I’m hoping we can truly begin by the 20th, but we’ll see. I still need certain supplies and help from various people. At any rate, I’m stressed because of it, and I wish I could just take a break for a while and work on my fiction.

Dark Skies was giving me a bit of hell recently. Chapter five is more or less written, but editing is a bitch, and there’s so much I have to clean up, especially in the second half. Because of that, I’ve been putting it off, but I really do want to get it up and running again. I had a few breakthroughs yesterday that may help. In the meantime, I’m doing my best not to get distracted by Gutter, or this other fic idea that I have. I feel awful because I’m doing exactly what I said I wouldn’t, and that’s making everyone wait for months between updates. I know now that I need to have many chapters written before I start releasing them, but it’s too late with Dark Skies. It’s already out there, and I don’t want people to wait a year or more for me to write several chapters.

Anyway, that’s just my little update. So sorry it’s taking me so long. I’m gonna try to have the rough draft of six written soon, in hopes of moving things along. I’m still feeling kind of sick, so I’m not going out tomorrow. That means I might actually get some writing done. Fingers crossed?
Updates on DSLO and a new project
So, I’m working away, but I’m a little frustrated with myself. I have a series of large projects coming up, and I’m feeling stuck on chapter five. It’s actually pretty much written, but it’s very first draft, and I can’t seem to focus enough to polish it. Which sucks, because I need to get six and seven written so that I can maintain that once a month update despite a chaotic filming schedule this summer.
Anyway, that should be done soon. I just feel bad because Dark Skies is still starting, so I’m leaving people confused and hanging. But once I get chapter five out, I will do my absolute best to not let more than a month pass in between updates.
That in mind, I’ve definitely learned my lesson. I’m not 17 anymore, and though I’m very glad my writing has improved since then, it also means that I can’t just crank out a chapter a week like I used to. So my next project, the one I plan to run simultaneously with DSLO, is going to be at least a quarter of the way written before I even start to post it. At the moment, the story is called Gutter, but that could change. I’m currently looking at a late fall release date. We’ll see.

Writing, writing…
The really annoying thing about posting a fic so many different places is that when you make a mistake or have to adjust some things, you have to do it everywhere and in different ways. Two of the places I post have rules on content, so I edit those versions and can’t just copy and paste my new version. Plus some allow html, which is how I write the chapters, and others have a weird sort of-html type system, or RTF which I hate, especially with one site that forces you to use it and always causes problems. Super annoying.
Anyway, enough about that. I just felt like complaining. So I still have to post chapters three and four of Dark Skies. I just want to pace them out a little, because the future updates won’t be coming that quickly. I’m trying to stick to a once a month at least update schedule, and I hope that isn’t too much of a pause. One of my friends suggested to me that the story would be easier to read if it were a book and not something being submitted by chapter. Actually, a few people have said that, and I know it’s true, so I hope putting up summaries will help in the future. I never intended for this to be such a slow boil, but here we are.
Thank you to those who have read, reblogged, and faved the story so far! I really appreciate it, and I hope you continue to enjoy it. It’s interesting to me where people fall on the opinion scale; for some, the next two chapters are where the real fun begins, but I know some people are still waiting for that moment of clarity. Hoping I can deliver soon.
But how are you guys doing?
