::does the happy dance::

It's done it's done it's done it's done! Woohoooo!! The zine fic is finally finished and with one more pass, it will be ready to send off to the editor. Here are the final totals:


Fandom: SGA
Title: Cutting the Gordian Knot
Word Count: 16444 total words

Now I can turn my attention to finishing my tag for The Storm/The Eye, working on my assignment for rononficathon, and writing a Thoughtcrimes ficlet for karri_kln1671.

Of course, there's also an SGA plot bunny file on my hard drive with almost 50 different bunnies waiting for my attention. *giggles*

Have a great Monday, everyone! :)

WOOOOT!! Oh so very cool. :) Can't wait to read the whole thing!!! :D

Thankies!! :D Though I'll still have to survive the dreaded editor's red-pen phase, I'm still so excited to have finished writing it.

And now I have to go work on the clown ficlet that the muse has been smitten with... *glares at muse*

Well at least someone is getting some writing done!

YAY for you!!

Awww! *huggles*

Thanks! LOL--love that icon!! I've got the dang things creeping out of the woodwork and biting me. ;)

Am sending good vibes and muse-bribes your way so that you can get back in the groove again, too. :)

Thanks!

Two? Two unfinished fics? That's all? *blushes*

I have, um...

*runs off to check*

...7 SG-1, 1 Silk Stalkings, 4 SGA, plus my NaNo novel. All of them sitting forlornly on my hard drive waiting for me to finish them.

And that's not counting the ever-growing, already bulging at the seams plot bunny file for SGA. Or the darn clown-ficlet bunny that bit my buns last night when reading a challenge on sheps_atlantis. *dashes off to write it*

Wow! You have been busy! Congrats on finishing the zine fic! *applause* And I can relate about plot bunnies and files. I gave up and just left them on my hard drive. I need to finish up one at a time - that being my NaNovel at the moment.

So have they already accepted it or are you sending it in? I'm not sure how all that works with zines. See ya!!!

*wanders off to feed the starving individuals in my home...*

Meeeelllllliiiii!!!! *tacklehugs* I was afraid that you'd been swallowed whole by NaNoEdMo. :D

Thanks, my friend! *smooches*

Sadly, the one at a time really doesn't work for me. My problem is that my muse has the attention span of a gnat. *glares at her* So she gets really excited about something and we start it, but then this new thing comes along and she demands to move to that one, and so on and so on. And next thing you know, I've got a dozen unfinished fics sitting there making sad-puppy eyes at me every time I open Word. :(

I'm not certain if all zines work the same way. In my case, the editor had a short (like two paragraph) summary of the story I planned to write. I finally sent the completed story to her this afternoon and by this evening she sent it back with a request for a few changes/fixes (all sorely needed!). So I've officially been accepted--now I just have to get the edits finished and sent back by next week. And there really weren't that many; I really expected much more work would be needed on it. Alternate realities can be quite confusing! LOL!

I hope all is well with you and the crew--I've missed you, my friend! :D
