The elation I felt the other day was fleeting. I remembered why i didn't look at my outline for so long. It's because structurally something I was originally anticipating happening in ch18 had to be moved to ch17. Which means ch17 is going to be long. And there's so much happening in it.

On the plus side, a lot of it genuinely is written. Like, probably somewhere between 60-70% of it. Actually that can't be right. Probably closer to 80-90%. I'm overinflating the scene transitions that I need to write; I always overestimate what's needed in those cases. That said, it does still need my 1st revision pass, followed by beta round 1, then likely another round of revisions/beta. But we're close! Certainly closer than we were a few days ago. It's felt genuinely good to get into a TEF/MTH rhythm again.

By the by, in going through my files, I dug up these mock school schedules I'd done for Blossom and Brick's Senior year. I think I might have talked about this before but that was likely ages ago. Originally I did these for all three of the girls in their Junior year, but for Senior year I only did the Reds' schedules since their plot points for this last part wound up being a little more tied in to the story.

This isn't that exciting, but here they are in case you're curious! )

That's funny. Anyway, if you haven't been here awhile, I'm answering questions on the reg at my ask.fm account. Also, here's trivia for ch7!

'His problem is he's a whiny little bitch,' Brick answered. 'My problem is you're a giant fucking prick,' Butch retorted. )

To the anon who requested playlists, still working on it! For the time being you can check out the aural pleasures tag for a small smattering of songs I use for inspiration/associate with various characters/pairings/scenarios.

Anyway, ch6a trivia! LJ's new way of displaying lj-cuts still pisses me off, so if you want a less ugly looking page like me, just click on the title of this entry to pull all the trivia up.

'That reminds me, when is the strangling supposed to be happening?' Boomer queried. 'Can I pencil you in at five? You've gotta give me some time to unpack first.' )

Continuing on from yesterday's post!

'Dude.' He gaped. 'Buttercup, your arms are so cut I'm not even staring at your tits.' )

OKAY I'M SORRY BUT I'LL HAVE TO CONTINUE THIS AGAIN LATER. Wear a PpG shirt today! We can be twinsies! Or tripletsies! (I'm rocking Blossom today. Don't leave me hanging.)

But some talk about PpG/RrB physiology first! )

Really. Thank you. ♥

Another aside before I start banging out some trivia! I'm sure most of you are aware (if not, well, I guess I'm a bigger nerd than you) that CTN recently celebrated their 20th anniversary, and commissioned I Love Dust (based in London) to animate this lovely 2-minute bumper for them.

I think they did lovely work (although I missed the thick line quality when it went into that black-and-white segment; Dexter was just missing that certain je ne sais quoi to his look) and still can't believe how much my chest literally - literally - swells when I hear that little bursty sfx that is the Girls taking off or in flight. A whole decade+ later and I'm still so affected by so small a thing.

This, truly, is what it means to be a complete, utter PpG fan!dork.

Well. To further expound upon that. ETA: You guys, I totally forgot the Beach Chapter was up next for trivia. Oh, God. This is going to be fun.

Some of the boys later claimed a chorus of Hallelujah had echoed in the skies at first sight of Buttercup's toned stomach. Others argued the music didn't start until the shirt had passed into higher, holier territory. )

OKAY YOU KNOW WHAT I will have to continue this later! Stay cool, everyone. Wear condoms. Don't do drugs. TYFYT

Been in a weird writing funk lately. Haven't touched TEF for a couple of months or more now, and when I thought about jumping back on it I got all giddy and excited. Now to actually sit down and write it.

Well. Here is some TEF trivia in the meantime!

'Dude! Hands off!' Boomer exclaimed, striking him with his bat. 'I'm saving myself for marriage!' )
essbeejay: stock: raven (take that!)
I love you guys so much. Thank you.

Carrot-raisin muffins are on the to-do list for today. I wish I could send some to every one of you. (They are delicious carrot raisin muffins, despite what aversions you may have.)

Continuing TEF ch4 trivia from here.

He was so fucking sick of this city. )
I love you that guys came to me with youtubes and macros and gee-eye-effs and PONIES and love in your hearts for me. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.

xoxo

Time for my weekly distraction from rl! Hm, where's TEF at now? Ch7 is in round 2 of beta and ch7a is back with me for editing. I suspect I'll be making big edits to ch7a. As always, I've been delaying work on TEF, which makes me go "Grrr self" but I have been super-rl-productive today so I feel less torn up about it than I usually do! Part of the reason may be because the other night I managed to make BIG IMPORTANT NOTES about two BIG IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS that will happen in the last chapter. The ending's been weighing heavy on my mind recently (even though I've still got 7 giant ass chapters to write before I actually get there), so it gave me a great sense of relief to get something down on paper for it. At least I have a starting point now!

Here, have another TEF trivia post. I believe we're on chapter 4?

Did you seriously already forget about that guy from the basketball team? Because that literally happened, like, five seconds ago. )

Guh. Tired. Got too used to my naps over the weekend. MUST ENDURE.

This week's TEF trivia post for ch3.

I don’t discriminate based on gender. Does that make me a better person than you? )

These are fun, but they're really exhausting entries to make!

By the way, plugging these on [livejournal.com profile] shiegra's behalf - she's got a bunch of dreamwidth codes begging for owners. Just in case anyone's interested, drop her a comment :)
