Making hard decisions
With ch10a posted (for those who can't access FFNet, I'll have the chapter up here soon - aiming for this weekend) and ch11 semi-off for beta, I'm now cracking open ch11a for the first time in nearly a month to start tidying it up. Let's keep this train running!
It's not nearly the mess that the previous chapters were (if you're keeping track, ch10a was a straight-up rewrite and ch11 was tying up the major loose ends that were affected by ch10a's straight-up rewrite), and with ch11a also being a bit of a side adventure there's less aggro involved in the self-edit phase for me. I only have two rewrite notes at the top that consist of a "CUT THIS" note and a "MAYBE CUT THIS?" note. (And yeah, I'm probably gonna cut it.)
After ch10a gets posted here I've got a decent amount of tfr stuff to share from it. When I did my initial read-through, already armed with the knowledge that I was going to lose most, if not all of it, I was a mix of happy and disappointed to find that I was really proud of a lot of the descriptive prose I'd managed for it. Good on me! Now to cut it all! But it was the right choice and that's the whole point of my tfr tag anyway.
Also floating the possibility of moving future chaps to AO3 after the infuriating amount of trouble I had posting ch10a on FFNet last week. We'll see. I've got time to figure that out. Maybe a year or so (j/k j/k ♥)
And yeah the ficlets are somewhere in the mix there, too, I promise!
