Er, fic, sort of

[carmen_lj]

I'm just going to mention this once here. Mostly because I'm a bit embarrassed about it, but also because I don't want to spam my journal lots. But I'm writing a whacking great multi-part fic. It has A Plan. Granted, said plan is written on a bleedin' napkin, but it is A Plan, nonetheless. There are arrows and stick figures too.

Anyway, I'm posting it on Time&Chips, the first two bits are here.

Um, yes, so (if you happen to have read anything with more than one part that I've written before, you'd probably notice) I have a problem with pacing. Generally, at least when I post it, I'm reasonably happy with one-shots, even if I grow to detest them later. But with multi-part things, it all generally goes horribly, horribly wrong. PACING. Yes. But it's improved a wee bit, but not horribly much. So I suspect it will all go wrong here too. At some point.

Sadly, the reason for writing said fic is so I can bung in everything in my Unfinished folder and stop staring at half-written Nine stuff. (Now that might sound like a terrible idea, but it's going to work...no, really...meybe. Probably not. But at least I'll have a nice clean folder. And that's what's really important, isn't it? No?...rar.)

Also I'm horribly unreliable with updates.

...

I should probably do some work on those class essays round about now, yes. Ahem.

When you've finished it, do post a link here:). I'd read it now but prefer to have it all there when I start...

Aye, so do I. Will do.

That's why you have a plan, though... pacing should help there.

Yeessss...that's the theory. It's never worked before. Ahem.

Ah, well. *grin* But it probably won't matter about pacing with a WiP sort of story. That's the good thing about them.
