Quick, write.

7 days to hlh-shortcuts deadline.... yikes. Guess what I'm doing this weekend :0)
Really want to get it drafted before I go away Monday-Tuesday. It's coming along though so fingers crossed, just need to... Yeah well, anyway that's why we have weekends.
How's everyone else's going? Please tell me I'm not the only one with (what feels like) half a fic.

I am currently in a state of complete flail/hair-tearing on mine. I was using NaNo to get a whole bunch Highlander stuff written, with a focus on the HLH story, and at the moment I have many disconnected scenelets and [this happens here] paragraphs, and I actually, finally, do have a sense of what the whole story is, and I am pretty sure I cannot actually _finish_ it in time, though, as you say, that is what weekends are for.

I am also afraid that it has acquired sundry elements that my receipient won't actually like, so I am _also_ wondering if it would be better to just find one of the other bits I wrote & polish it into shape instead.

Aaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhh.

*Sends you good writing vibes*

I have many disconnected scenelets and [this happens here] paragraphs,

That sounds familiar, I'm just hoping I can turn mine into something coherent. Good luck with yours, which ever you end up doing it's not like either is wasted. I'm going to have a second partly finished fic too, but that just means I'll have something to play with in the new year. Just have to get this one finished first, somehow these things always work out eventually. I'm really looking forward to reading them all :0).

*Sending you good writing vibes too.*

I'm half-way home -- we will puuuull ze canon (pun intended) but must do 3,000 words this weekend or else and 500 words is a big day for me.

Ouch, 3,000 words is about the limit of any of my completed fic. Unless you count the one's I wrote as self contained chapters, I do have two that are considerably longer that i have literally been working on for years,and I suspect will never finish.
You'll do it, we'll all do it and they'll be lots of highlander fics to read at the end of it :0).

Good luck with yours.

Is it bad that this makes me feel better?
Good luck with your writing.

It's probably evil, but this makes me feel so much better :0)

We'll all get there.

Maybe we can torture each other with last minute cold read betas *g*.

God I dread editing mine, the punctuation errors alone... Have to finish writing it first though, Argh nothing like begging for last minute rush betas, - I'll do yours if you'll do mine :0).

It's a deal! Sleep will be out of the question, anyway!

Brilliant, that's one thing off my checklist.

Sleep, who needs sleep, we've got fic to keep us going.

Good luck. You can do it.

- and I promise, you're not the only one with half a fic. :)

Thank you :0) I'm beginning to see that judging from evryone's comments. All I can say is thank someone for the weekend.
Good luck with yours. And soon there'll be lots of new highlander fics for us all to read. :0)

Thank you... just one week of writing then lots of hl fics to read ;0). December is a good month to be in fandom, any fandom.

Well only the hair pulling, head banging against walls that precedes it. But yay fic... so worth it.
