writing update

[lizardbeth]

I spent so much time at the bsg_epics comment question fest thingy, that I basically got nothing practical done, but omg so much fun! :D

I'm struggling with trying to make this part of Black Sails interesting when it is in fact an infodump blah blah crap you already know blah crap you should know if you were paying attention blah crap you're going wish you know real soon now blah blah We shall see how well I do at making it concise and important, and maybe interesting.

Story has also cracked 90K which is ridiculous! And I'd estimate I have another 5K more, except my estimates are notoriously off so it's probably more like 10K to wrap it up. Ah well, at least it'll be a big return for the folks who've been patiently waiting. I've never used the potential of story alerts on ff.net before, but I think I'll add a 'chapter' to Thread of Ariadne when it's time, to tell them the next/last installment is out. I haven't done that before but it seems like a reasonable thing to do, especially after so long. (it does feel a bit like Amazon, though -- "you expressed an interest in X, you may also then be interested in Y"... heh)

You know you shouldn't bias your beta audience, right? ;)

And the chapter alert thing at ff.net is something that people sign up for, so if they didn't want the alert, they shouldn't have, well, signed up for it. :P

Treading Water currently has like 28 people who have signed up for update alerts. I've never had that many people do that on a fic EVER. Crazy.
