tsukinofaeriiNaked Steve is slightly less naked now. This is a sad day for us all.
I think that tomorrow is it. I'm in the closing scenes where everything gets tied up, and they are short scenes. Maybe a couple thousand words total left. It feels good, and also slightly terrifying, because once this is done, I have to go back to the beginning and start with the butchery. Hank shall vanish from the annals of this fic. The entire opening plot will be replaced. (Alas, this means Tony shall not get to dip Steve. :( Sadness.) I have a horrible terror that I have written 80k, and shall turn around and immediately edit out 30k. If I don't, this will be my longest fic ever. Which is also sort of scary, because I don't want to sacrifice quality for length.
Writing today was hard to start, because like a geniusbillionaire industrialist playgirl I left off yesterday at a horribly wrenching moment, and did not want to pick up again. It hurt. D: Once I got past that, it flowed much more smoothly, but getting started... ouch. Avoidance techniques including gaming and working on an Ult Tony Fanmix.
Anyway, word counts. I'm at 83,394, so I wrote 3,126. Will probably end this baby around 85k, at this rate.

"You're not that old." Tony perched on his stomach, knowing that if Steve really wanted to get up, there was nothing Tony could do to stop it. "I don't think a ninety year old man could pick me up and do that thing with—"
A blush covered Steve's cheeks as he pressed his palm to Tony's mouth. "I was already grown when your father was in diapers," he insisted, with that set jaw that told Tony he was getting frustrated. "I'm old."
Tony licked Steve's palm, and laughed when he yanked it away, grimacing. "Then I'll just have to get used to having my cradle robbed, won't I?"

I don't think that will happen. If anything, we'll get both =)
Okay Tony, not helpful.

Date: 2010-11-27 05:35 pm (UTC)I'm going to store it in three or four different places (Good Docs, two flash drives, my work computer and my laptop) and let it rest while I work on my fic exchange prompt. Once that's done, i'll have enough distance to turn around and look at it again. It's a Really bad idea to edit when your brain is stuck on go go go go go, or when you've been staring at something for a month.
Plus, I reeeeeeally want to work on my fic exchange prompt. (cuddles it) My precious.

XD I hope so! :o
in another century or two, that won't matter anymore anyway:D Exactly!
