Plot holes and continuity breaks
I was reading through your annotations for 1.8, Taz, and saw that you asked how Nari could know something, implying that she shouldn’t. Panic! Did I break continuity? OH NOES. D: So I actually went back and read through the preceding chapters to see if I did (you little—). No, it should be correct. Refer [...]

Squib #5: Letting Go
I have here in my hands (well, figuratively) 2.5 pages of chapter 1.12 text—completed dialogue, narrative, and everything. These pages were a rough draft of the climax and dénouement I had in mind, written even before I outlined the theoretical ending to Part 1. I was that certain of how the first part of “Syncope” [...]

Document maintenance
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, I had a hard drive wipe. My computer had gotten a virus. I was in college, and rather than try to clean it out (perhaps they couldn’t), the campus tech support decided to reformat the entire thing. I fancied myself an archivist back then, but I [...]

1.12 in the works…
I’ve finally completed the full chapter outline, which is a big deal for me. ^_^; Having completed a contracting job helps with the whole time thing. While doing that, I’ve also been writing various dialogue exchanges and narrative snippets into Part 2–Shizuru’s relatives and such. Fun stuff. But back to the task at hand… I’m [...]

Squib #4: How much do you invest in your work?
“Dedication” Occasionally, one of my professors would point this out to me. I would invest far too much into the research project I was writing at the time and do too much research, find too much information, and then just write too much, covering too much ground or going too deep. This would sometimes lead [...]

‘Twas a poll…
Edited 9/19: XD I finally found a hack that’s supposed to show userpics in the Generator style, so I’m going back to that. Yup! But I’m still playing with it. Such ugly code… Things to know: One reason why I ended up buying a one-year subscription is to have the comment page styles the same [...]

Squib #1: Why a fanfic?

Just so you know…
I’ll be working with some extremely difficult and critical dialogue in the next three chapters, so I don’t know when I’ll get them out. Seriously. ^_^; On top of that, a new school semester is starting and I’m moving again, so I’m pretty busy in the real-life front as well. If it may take even [...]
