Woot. Just did a cooled-off reread of the scenes thus far and I'm reasonably happy with the pacing/thematic composition and overall introspection. Tomorrow is going to be a bumper work day, so I might just go home and pass out instead of writing.

On the Type-0!fic front, shit has gotten dark and I'm not sure if I want to go down the PTSD route. Currently weighing up ways I might be able to be less bloody heavy-handed.

Getting more solid, slowly but surely. Christmas celebrations make finding the time to write more difficult, and I don't really think that's going to change over the next few days.

But, finally finished the last scene of Fang's before the Big Showdown, so hopefully that cements Fang's point of view/overall mental state. Next up, Lightning's lead-up, and then. Well. That scene the entire fic seems to have been building up to.

After that? Well, over the course of the fic, obviously themes cropped up that go beyond the initial scope of the fic. Things that really can't be resolved in one hit, no matter how much I want them to be.

As mentioned below, including the Oerba chapter that I'm working on, there's another three chapters at 8k each to go, and hopefully that'll see this fic completed. Oh, plus an epilogue.

Also, SE. Wharrrr is my Type-0 localization already?

9/5/2011 - One more scene to go, then to reread the entire fic (*sigh*), to make sure that it doesn't suck and that the new chapter does make sense in the context of the rest of the material.

So I'm thinking, maybe an update on Wednesday or Thursday, sooner if I decide to split the chapter (it's long, and there's a lot happening).

SWHN-6.4
10,177/10,177 = 100% done.

On the mobile so no stat bar, but holy stampeding chocobos it's finally done. Just have to reread the whole fic *groan* and then fix the chapter up for coherence, and internal/external consistencey.

Hope to be done by US time Wednesday night.

Ah, the beach. It's great for getting me to knuckle down. Now, to write the next chapter asap, or do a few smaller projects? Wasn't the smaller projects what threw you off your groove last time?

Anyhow, happy because the tough part is over and fixing is a lot quicker than writing. And seriously, whose idea was it to explore psychological phenomenae in the context of major theories? Because Beck and Ellis are relevant to Fang, and then Rogerian is part of Light's conflict, plus Freud because defense mechanisms are fun, even if I find most of his other stuff whack.

SWHN-6.04 (FFXIII)

7267 / 8500 words. 85% done!

22/4/2011 - today was mostly adding a new scene that fleshed out things a little better. Sazh, I love you so much. You're like this ray of light in a sea of frustration. I think I might have made notes on the chapter feeling 'too easy' in terms of getting from Point A to Point B cognitively. Meaning, I felt like things were being forced and weren't natural progressions of the situation.

With replotting and the addition of all these new scenes, it's not so easy. There are things that are triggering stuff along, instead of me going, "Hey, it's time for Light to start feeling like X. And... go."

I, uh, also think this chapter might hit 10,000 words. GDI it was meant to be a shorter one. Lucky the Taejin's arc was broken up already... sheesh.

And bloody hell, I think I'm getting sick. Nose is running and I have splitting headache. My sister had a real nasty cold over the last week, she'd better not have given it to me. I have a job interview on Wednesday! *shakes fist threateningly*

22/3/2011 - still poking uselessly at That One Scene in SWHN-6. I was bitching to Livi about it and she asked if it was starting to smell. Of course, I had no idea of what she was going on about, and then she said that 'dead things start to smell after a while'.

Really hoping that that scene ISN'T dead because it's a pretty major scene. =/

I expect HTM-2 to be done by the end of tonight, in the absence of TV, the internet or mum flipping her shit over something.

Edit: 10:30pm - and it's done!

15/3/2011 - Updates to SWHN-6, Valhalla-3.

So I didn't do as much Valhalla as I wanted to, since I had no idea of what I was doing and I kinda just poked around. But I got a little more done, and completely plotted what the narrative is (and wrote a few more) so that's progress. Already reread the other chapters, and I've made a few edits to those that I'll upload when the last chapter is finished.

21/2/2011 - SWHN-4 complete.

Reading through a 14,000 word monster chapter takes ages but I seriously need to keep at it. Ugh. Will give it another go around (third edit!) tonight, but there's Underbelly and mum usually likes me to watch that with her.

In other news, became a co-mod over at ff_land which is totally awesome. The amount of HTML and links in my first mod post gave me an epic-size headache, though. It was a lot of fun.

15/2/2011 - Just a couple of words so far. Gonna TRY to get the current scene in SWHN finished... Urgh. Downloaded the new Distant Worlds lineup. YES CLASH ON THE BIG BRIDGE. Has a nice amount of FFXIII music. The To Zanarkand version on this one is nice. And Fang's Theme, of course.

Mmph, was so focused on losing weight at the gym today that I totally overdid it. Considering that I’m abominably unfit, half an hour of cardio and another half hour of weights was clearly too much for me.

Well, it’s the day before Christmas and our house is teetering on the edge of chaos and complete destruction. Cleaning. Yelling. Vacuuming. Mopping. Scrubbing. I think I’ve been poisoned with chemical cleaning agents. Either that or my fingerprints are falling off. Can barely feel the keys as I type. Just… pressure.

We’re having most of mum’s side of the family around at our place for the big lunch tomorrow. Yay. *shrug* Not that big of a Christmas fan, but at least I get to eat awesome food. Nice meat, veg, ham, and dessert. *salivates* And in one day, I shall undo all the hard work and dieting I’ve put in over the past few weeks. >_>

As a note, I’m going away on a roadtrip on the 26th of December, so there pretty much isn’t going to be any updates ‘til I get back, which is going to be around the 7th of January. Even then, don’t expect much in the way of writing. I might have some worked out with pen and paper, but it doesn’t count until it’s transferred to the computer.

*yelps* The wet dog just crawled on my lap, and he's too cute to kick off. :

I wish Jump Festa would hurry up and get here already. >_>

I want to see the new RPG mode in full glory and make my dream party of Lightning/Laguna/Kain

Also, below is a preview to Worst Birthday Ever.
