perpetual_motion--The Neville/Snape is holding steady at 12,776. I'm trying to figure out how to word a scene, but I think it'll unravel itself shortly.
--I opened the Tin Man Fic of DOOM again last night and have discovered the problem with it. I gave it a plot. I do not, as a rule, write stories with plots. I write stories with characters having reactions and relationships with one another, and trying to give the Tin Man story a plot is most likely what's caused it to stall so badly. I have a really good stopping point at 13,358, and it's tempting to post it and call it it's own story just in case the rest of the monster [currently sitting at 28,380] doesn't ever hit the finish line.
