luciazephyr: Book of the Still, the time traveler's lifeline (Default)
So today I got my usual eXXXXtreme period cramps, doped myself on meds to ease the pain, and wrote over 2000 more words for Repeat to Fade's next part. It's clocking in around 4000 now and I still have one more long scene and another short one before posting. Hopefully it won't take forever. Then I can take a break from all the swordplay and get into some foreplay (see wut I did dare?).

But yeah. Yaaaaay fic. Now, I sleep.

Writing fic while on meds and in pain is, in fact, not a good idea and should be avoided.

:gets to rewriting those 2000 words of fic:

You know what, I'm disappointed too, but it's not like Dayter held a gun to the localization crew's heads and said GIVE ME THE ROLE. Hey, remember that time Kojima said Dayter was his favorite VA for the series and the definitive Snake voice? Maybe that's why he was chosen?

Srsly, guys, enough bashing. It sucks it wasn't Doyle, but leave Dayter alone. It's not like he needs the work, having moved on from VA work to screenwriting pretty effectively. He's not the bad guy. This is the man who gave away half his fucking paycheck so MGS:TTS so they could get all the original VAs.

Take a breath, folks.

So, this fic is killing me.

This chapter is packed with stuff. A lot of shit happens, both plotwise and with Snake's mental state. And at this moment I think I have it all crammed in there, but that's the thing; to me, it feels crowded, with every sentence stuffed to breaking in an effort to show what's happening in the battles, in Snake's head, with Snake's body, and with Hal (who is just difficult to pull off at this certain point, this flux between the two and which of them has control, etc).

It's so overwrought and I have no idea if it's just me having stared at it for too long or if it's actually just crap.

:face in hands:

Thene says I need another set of eyes for the fic. There's been so many changes to this chapter, I'm just completely unsure on how it would read.

So... anyone want to read part 2 of Repeat to Fade? I need someone to tell me what parts are strained and what parts work. Someone up for it?
