Because, why not?
Posted 13 years agoI've worked too long on this, and procrastinated far too much... started posting a story that I had begun a few years back, never got around to finishing. Recently picked it back up again and began working on it. Might seem familiar if anyone's visited fanfiction.net, which I should also update as well. Going to break apart the chapters and get them all posted here to keep a rolling release on them, though.
It's fun, though, I sat down, re-read it all, and found my old stash of notes and storyboard, updated and revamped a few of the events to come, and finally pushed through the chapter that had given me such a headache for so long. I can honestly say I can't wait to finish it.
