So, recent developments.

( Personal stuff that can probably be skipped )

Day before yesterday I finished my first revision on Part I of “God Save the Queen”. I’ll start on Part 2 tomorrow, and post Part 1 where sroni can evaluate my work so far. Once I’ve done that for the whole story, even if she isn’t yet finished offering counter-suggestions, I can finally move on to revising “Queen’s Gambit”. “God Save the Queen” is and has always been sroni’s story, so I feel some of the same hesitation in taking liberties with it that I experienced when recommending changes to one of agilebrit’s fics. “Queen’s Gambit”, on the other hand, is one that sroni plotted out with my feedback, and for which she produced a first draft on the understanding that it would be a collaborative effort. Once I get my teeth into that one, I’ll really cut loose.

By the time I’m done with the second story, I should be at DLI already, and my studies and other duties will leave me with quite a bit less time for fanfic production. I still intend to do some writing, though. I overdid it while I was in Afghanistan; ten stories in ten months means I wasn’t giving my duties the attention they deserved, and I don’t want to repeat that. Still, it seems to me that I should be able to manage three or four stories a year without neglecting anything important.

Life goes on, and I’m going with it.
