holy crap.

I'm not done done, there's still a lot of work I need to do in the last couple sections of it, but my yuletide draft is complete and pulls in at 5299 words. I desperately need to edit the last parts because I totally cheated on some things that need to be fleshed out more (oh god, more?) but it's more done than it was yesterday. Um. Maybe I should go to bed now?

edit, 12:52 am: dammit. I realized I would have a much, much better fic on my hands if I cut a lot of my initial ideas and went with what makes for a more compelling and less confusing story. so...crap. It'll be a lot better once I jettison a lot of the random junk in the middle. :P

well, frick.

Okay, in the cold light of day, I actually think I don't need to make as many drastic changes to my fic as I thought. If I did, it would probably tighten things up a lot but it would also lose some of the really confusing stuff that I like leaving in. So...crap. The last few big pieces really do need a lot of work, but I think the other stuff is going to stay...*twitches* I think....aaiieee! Four days to go.
