So, we are approaching the end of PLA. Don't fret, there is a sequel (and a sidequel) planned, so the story isn't over, but it is reaching a big break. I mention all this because I just finished the last chapter's rough draft (clocking in at 21,000 words, it's long enough that I'll actually split it in half. Instead of one monster chapter, you'll get two slightly less monstrous chapters). However, before the last chapter goes to the editors, I have to finish the epilogue, so we still have probably six thousand more words I need to write. If I wasn't also busy with school stuff, I could probably type this out by Thursday, but I am, plus there's some other real life stuff, that might complicate things, but I think the important thing is the end's in sight, and the story should be finished before the first of May (maybe).
After PLA, I'll probably work on WTPV, school stuff, and the actual novel I've been neglecting, so that's fun too. Anyways, I really hope you enjoy the last chapter when it comes around and that I'll see you whenever we start the last half of Sweetie's journey.
(Also, I'm debating removing the romance tag for PLA, thoughts are appreciated.)
Don't remove the romance tag.
Because there is romance, its just a BAD romance
2959825 I know, but I hate tag creep (the problem of stories having so many tags that they basically become non-descriptive), and I worry PLA is getting close to that place. On the other hoof, I just have the epilogue to go so it shouldn't be too terrible.
I pray nothing serious. But good to hear there's going to be a nice two-part finale style send off, for this so soon. Best of luck with everything, and I look forward to the final episodes.
And yes, I very much can't see how you could remove the romance tag from this. Not your typical Disney romances but the romances are totally there. Even if most is one-sided, forced, taken for granted, abused, or manipulated into, I have to say that the Romance tag pretty much integral to the whole story since it deals with all forms of relationships and one whose not mentally fit for any.
I'm glad that you decided to break up the chapters. Reading a 20k chapter in one go is a bit...daunting. (I'm one of those people who HAS to read the whole thing in one go).
2961228 My ideal chapter range for this story has always been between 10k and 20k. In hindsight, perhaps I could have halved that, but I regret nothing.
