DISHEVELED - CHAPTER 20 Do Not Get Excited

[rabid1st]

Because it is not here...or done...or anything but a hateful handful of pages...a pile of words...a scurrying rat's nest of barely connected sentences...that hates me...and my word program...and my muse...and my little dog, too.

So...I am going to post whatever the HELL I have ready on Friday. I don't care if it's sappy...I don't care if it makes sense...I don't care if it's in voice...I am tired of it.

Beta's stand by for...incoming...and don't bother me if it sucks...just correct those commas...unless you have a suggestion for making it golden.

All the rest of you lovely people...standby like an extra on the DeathStar...and...maybe you could clap or something...

...yes...CLAP like you're calling Tinkerbell back from the land of forgotten fairies.

This sheep is going to hydroplane...or I'm tossing it like a caber. This weekend you WILL HAVE FIC.

Oh, honey! Don't feel pressured to post it if it's not ready! *pets* It will be just fine; we can all wait patiently. Well, some of us can wait patiently. :P

*nodsnods* What she said.

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

Yes...but it is driving me MAD...MAD I tell you. And it won't work...ever...again. And all the rest of it is sort of DONE. Well...not...still have to do Doomsday...but mostly DONE!

ROCK.


And seriously - I don't care what shape it's in. I know I'll enjoy it anyway!

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

You are easy to please Measi...thank you.

I can't guarentee you will enjoy it...but it will move us all forward. And that's something.

I DO believe in Rabid! I do!

*applauds*

*claps like crazy* Is it working? *claps some more*

You could probably dig up some old biology notes, sprinkle in some Doctor/Rose meta, and I'd be entertained; that's how much I love your writing.

*gets back to clapping*

OMG, I'm so excited by this announcement! I can't imagine the pressure that's on you, to produce fic and live up to expectations. I hope that's not putting a kink on your writing--rest assured that on my part, at least, I'm happy to get anything from you.

[claps maniacally]

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

It's not really the pressure...at least...I don't think that it is...it's that my muse is only interested in making the Doctor happy again. All I want to do is "fix" season 3, now. It's like my muse keeps whispering, "No, this can wait...we don't care about this...look...he's all sad...let's make that better."

SIGH!

Ahhh, I see. Yeah, that must be incredibly frustrating. I hope you manage to get the muse working for you, so you can finish Disheveled and move on. 'Cause there comes a point where you're writing something, especially if it's a long fic, that no matter how much you loved it at first, you start to hate it a little bit. So, hang in there, and know we've all got your back!

Must the fic be Doomsday-compliant? :)

YES it must...and that's not really...

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...the trouble...the Doomsday bit should be easy...the problem I'm having is this last little push of plot...there's really nothing NEW to say about the pair emotionally...until Doomsday...then there is lots to say.

However, the plot needs to advance. My problem is I can't get an emotional hook into them now without creating drama or having them sound rather...schmoopy. I'm sure people don't mind them being schmoopy but I find it very much at odds with what I'm seeing on the screen each week.

I do believe in Rabid, I do I do! *claps madly till Friday*

[larielromeniel.livejournal.com]

Awww...we all believe in you!

S3 has been a killer, hasn't it? D'you supposed Rusty and Co have it in for fanfic writers and are intentionally trying to muzzle our muses with this season's stories?

Hmmm....could it be that one of us has hit too close to the bone for something in the future? "Evasive Maneuvers! Release countermeasures!"

(Oh, don't mind me. Ficathon deadline stress is making me weird.)

*clap clap clap*

If I believe in one thing, just one thing, I believe in Rae!

Oh, isn't that the dorkiest thing you've heard all day *sporfle*

[starbuckhan.livejournal.com]

I BELIEVE !!!! (breaks into manic clapping) :o)

[kalijean]

You're a fantastic writer. You can do it. I believe in you :)

We are our own worst critics. I'm sure it'll rock. ~DJ

I am clapping like a mad woman because I do believe in Rae. And the Doctor. And Rose. And a love that's worth collapsing a few universes over.
