Just sent off fic to [livejournal.com profile] madjm for a final look-over. Which sounds easy, but the damn thing ended up being 70,615 words... 128 pages in 12 point Calibri.

Even though [livejournal.com profile] sjhw_tolerance thinks it makes me worse than Hitler, I've pretty much decided to post a chapter a day. Each chapter is about 6K words, give or take, so it won't be overwhelming.

Just sent the last chapter of my fic off to the incomparable [livejournal.com profile] madjm for beta. Once that's back, I'll do another read-through/revision - I need to deal with a few timeline things I changed my mind about midway through - and, if [livejournal.com profile] madjm doesn't mind, have her give it another once-over. Then I will be able to let my baby bird leave the nest!

To be honest, I've been contemplating posting a couple parts a day over the course of a week or so. Yes, I hate it when authors do that... but it's not like it's a WiP, or like I'm going to hold subsequent parts hostage for feedback. I just enjoy torturing people.

If a writer ever tells you that they don't enjoy torturing people, they're lying to you. We write mainly because torturing people is only really legal and socially acceptable when those people are fictional characters.

So here's a poll. Haven't done one of these in a long-ass time.

*stares at MS Word*

Is it done?

That last scene kind of just... ended.

*goes back and rereads*

I think... I may possibly... be done.

Part 12 is done. At least the first draft.

60,685 words so far.

Just the epilogue left. Three scenes, unless the muse attacks me with another idea.

*collapses*

Sigh.

Me: Hey I'm on page 99, getting near the epilogue!
Jane Foster: Hey.
Me: ...
Jane: I want to be in this scene.
Me: What? That doesn't make any sense. You haven't been in this fic at all and Thor's still on Asgard.
Jane: Yeah but you need Clint to have a conversation with someone in this scene.
Me: ...I was just going to use Steve.
Jane: Steve needs a break, don't you think?
Me: ... :\
Jane: ... :D
Me: ...if you invite Darcy into this scene, I will cut you.

Remember when this story was going to end with Part 10?

Every time I start getting close to the end I think of another scene - or five - that are just absofreakinlutely necessary.
