Blargity blarg blarg.

So, I'm nearly done with chapter 48 of this Community fanfic I've been writing. Since June 12, apparently. (I just checked because I couldn't remember.)

I desperately want to finish it this coming weekend, because I want to move onto something else.

But also because I feel that it has become irrelevant because it is so entirely AU at this point it's not even remotely amusing.

It's also partly me being worried about being irrelevant, which comes from two years of having it drummed into me in my journalism classes that timeliness is key.

Part of it is also me being (perhaps wrongly & insecurely) concerned that there's only a small group of people still reading this insane piece of melodramatic shit.

I am, however, determined to finish this damn thing because I need to prove to myself that I can finish this. I practically never start anything this big (if I'm not being paid for it), and I've certainly never finished any of the stalled novels I have in notebooks and floppy disks.

I almost regret falling in love with this show & becoming active in the fandom.

I haven't gotten a huge number of comments on the fics I've posted at FF.net, but I've gotten some nice ones. I haven't had any problems with censorship because I don't write the kind of stuff they have problems with. But if you're concerned about it, there's always AO3. I have an account there too but I haven't uploaded anything to it.

Um. ...what's AO3?

Also: Thank you for the input about FF. It's good to know.

Hmm, sincere or snarky? I'll let you choose!

Sincere

Snarky

(They both go to the same place, ultimately.)
