*bangs head on keyboard*

Argh, argh, ARGH. So, yeah, I'm scribbling this horrible THING that won't get out of my head. How in the hell I've gotten nearly 3500 words out of it so far is beyond me, but here I sit. And now the characters are being all awkward with each other and stuff, and I don't know enough to know where to go from here. I feel like I'm flailing at shadows and and that the thing is go se anyway.

I don't know why I'm angsting over this so much. It's probably never going to see the light of day anyway. But I feel compelled to finish it, and it'll eat at me until I do.

CRAP.

When it comes on that strong, I don't think...I've been very surprised what's turned up on the screen sometimes (in one of my stories Harmony was taking marketing at night school. Harmony, School, voluntarily?)

Let it flow and awkward characters are often truthful..

I've bitten off WAY more than I should have chewed here. I just realized yet another ramification of what happens at the beginning of the thing.

Oh well. I've got nothing but time, I guess. I can take the time to get it the way it should be.

Hey, cool. At least you have the initiative to get it down! And you will finish it, and perhaps leave it alone for a while in relief, and then you can go back to it and make it wonderful. :) What fandom, by the way? Angel?

Firefly. But a ginormous departure from the Kitten!Cuddler!Jayne fic. I'm shocked, frankly, that both of these stories came out of the same head.

This post sounds extremely familiar. I know exactly what you mean - and having read your definitions, I guess Occupied Riverdale is my "Damnfic." For the very same reasons - I'm not entirely sure how it will finish, it may never get done anyway, but I cannot let it go, even when there are other things upon which my time would be better spent.

I've just gone back and ripped out the last two chapters, back to when I felt it going off the tracks but forged on anyway - and wrote myself into a corner. Let's try that again...
