Current music:What else? 'Hart's War' music

Finished!
Yes! I finished my 'Hart's War' fanfic -- nearly 17,000 words of the damn thing! (I owe a huge thanks to Charlie and Marilyn, as usual, and to Nik [info]nk_seashore for doing the final edit and for making the banner.)

So for the past hour I've been breaking it into parts and loading it into my fanfic journal. And now I wish I hadn't broken it into five parts. I'm thinking I'd rather have it be two parts, my optimum length for a story. I just can't decide.

So for now I'm leaving it as is and just not putting it up anywhere. When I get ready I'll post it at the rare slash community and the Colin Farrell fanfic community.

It turned out better than expected, and the best thing about it is I showed myself I could be dedicated and disciplined about writing a story.

Now I'm ready to work on my John Smith fantasy about him getting it on with Jared the Nature Boy. That will be much easier and more fun, no doubt. But I did download a shitload of Smiths' journals a couple weeks ago so I could get the flavor of his writing.

ETA: Guess I should put in a frigging link to "Tommy's Peace"!

Wonderful job, Joey. And I frankly can't believe how you've stuck with it for this fic. I'm very proud of you. (It's a great piece of writing, as always, Joey.)

I think it's great to see you writing a five-parter! (And your ending allows for a sequel -- or even sequels!)

(smile)

Keep the fic coming, Joey. (Can't wait for that John Smith fic, as well...)

I'm so proud of you for this, and I love, love, love the story! Thanks for inspiring me, because now I hope to write my own 'Hart's War' fanfic (at some point). And I want you to continue this . . . please!
