I'm being slowly driven mad by my own fic
It was supposed to be a little thing. Ten, maybe twenty pages at most. But then I started getting all these ideas. They crawled all over my brain, insisting that I pay attention to them and I said, why not? So I start writing random scenes here and there across a timeline that I'm just starting to get a glimpse of and then I realize that if I want to do this properly, I have to start examining actions and motivations more throroughly and given the delicacy of the ship (Ando/Hiro/Adam) and that I want to explore how a relationship between these people could work, that already demands at least twice the word count I was initially estimating. Not that I should be surprised, because everything I write, except for a few little fics, grows beyond the original boundaries. But this is too much. It's already by far the longest thing I've ever written (37,000 words! including early drafts) and I haven't moved past the beginning! I'm not used to taking this long to finish a first draft. It's a new experience for me. But I can't stop! Even if I wanted to, which I don't, (though there are moments when I want to throw everything out the window and work on something else just for five minutes), I couldn't stop. I'm determined on finishing this. If it's the last thing I do *raises fist*
