wraith fic

I have been manically rewriting wraith fic. I'm on my fourth draft. This is the first fic I have ever revised to such an extent. I am now actually re-typing the entire thing, rather than cutting and pasting. I'm finding that this allows me to be more logical and more ruthless, to refine each sentence more and to keep the whole in slightly better focus. The first drafts were so cutted and pasted that it was doing my head in.

I'm now on word 8,713 of the re-type. End of Part One. Two more parts to go.

The fic also has a title now. In my mind, it was always the 'wraith island fic'. Now it's called 'Ichor'.

If anyone is keen to beta John Sheppard/wraith, do let me know. Not that I've decided yet that I'll even have betas. I think once upon a very long time viva_gloria and liviapenn expressed kind interest...? But memory could cheat me.

I started this fic in May 2006...! *gulp*

I am telling myself that meticulous and obsessive re-type is good practice for novel writing. I suspect, though, that it is also a means for escaping my horrible work and what seems like an overwhelming career change project right now. I now have Fear of the Orig.

Still, I also just want to get this thing finished and posted and out of my system.

Is there even anyone left out there who even reads SGA anymore??
