9/5/2013, A Long Time Coming... · 10:15pm Sep 5th, 2013
Everyone who's been in talks with me during the past—what? seven months?—has known that I've been deeply in the pits about a fic that I was writing. And anybody who's known me for longer than a few days also knows that I cannot stand the S3 finale—so much so that I actually started writing a fic about it, spur of the moment, three weeks before it aired. Then, like a lightning bolt, the finale hit and I suddenly broke.
For the past months, I've been struggling with an on-and-off case of writer's block. Those of you that still care enough to follow me may remember that I was never a bats in terms of speed, but I plugged along and made fics fairly quickly. Well, my brain stopped working when I lost my faith in the fandom; you might remember the rather long and... emotional blog post I made about it in February. Lately, though, I've been able to write a decent amount on some occasions. I'm hoping that I'll be back to my old self soon and that—if I'm not—my soul will be healed come the S4 Premier.
To some, my finishing Dreams means the end of a long-running joke. For me, it means I've finally managed to scale a wall I once thought insurmountable. Sure, I'm not entirely happy with some aspects of it—the ending did get not get portrayed as long and emotionally as I'd originally planned, and I fear that I may have crossed from "sad" to "melodrama" on several occasions—I'm just happy that I can finally drop it, say "it's done" and move on. To me, that's a major accomplishment after all I've put myself through, regarding it.
So, regarding my other fics, Faith and Elements of Chaos, I plan on working on those immediately. I want to rewrite and edit some portions of EoC before I add to it—I'm going to take advantage of its "dead" status and use it to spruce it up. Faith is a project that I'll be tackling in bits and pieces; it's been so long that I'm not entirely sure I remember everything I planned to do with it. I'll Be Home will be edited ad revised, just like Trust was last December, and I plan on releasing a whole lot of content very soon. Thank you to everyone who still remembers me and still cares—I love you all!
So, I'm back; I'm happy; I'm proud to say that I'm finally done with Dreams!
Woo-hoo!
Congladurations! And don't worry, we'll find something else to tease you about now that you're finished Dreams

Elements of Chaos, Faith, sequel to last change, just pick one

I'll go with Faith, since people actually know what that is
