Longfic writing

So, I'm in that stage in my BSG Big Bang fic where I have all the balls in the air, I know where they fall (I've written most of it already), and yet ... man, so many threads to keep track of. I wrote a whole page of notes today just trying to make sure I know exactly when everyone knows certain important facts and I don't screw it up.

I can also tell you that planting clues without making them anvils is not as easy as it looks! I want the eventual reaction to the resolution to be "of course! that's awesome!" not "ZOMGWTF?", so I need to lay the groundwork, and yet, of course, I don't want to give it all away.

IZ HARD. *sniff*

Anyway, it's a different process to writing Road to Tartarus, because that one was complete in itself, whereas Ariadne is ... the middle. There'll be another part covering "Season 4"-ish with the resolution, so I can't really resolve anything. It's making my inner structuralist very twitchy.

I suppose I should write, rather than bitching about it.

(and also I have claimed a prompt for sg_rarepairings. Because I don't have enough to do this fall!)

ETA: okay, why did I not know until just now that anberlin covered "True Faith"? It's kind of weirding me out, yet I keep replaying it.
