Writing

You ever have those writing days where you're so thoroughly sucked in that you forget things like eating, and calling people you were supposed to call, and recording the season premiere of one of your favorite TV shows?  And then you think about the fact that you forgot to get the Tivo set up to record that premier, and you don't even really care, because what you're writing is all that matters?

And then, at some point, you sit back and read part of what you just finished writing, and think, "Damn, I am good."  What a wonderful, wonderful thing.  Some days it just rocks, being a writer.

That was yesterday for me.  Hasn't happened in awhile.  It was nice, very nice.  And today I am seriously wiped. 

Let's see, last word count of Dark Reflections on Wednesday was 8,600 words.  Final word count?  15,800.  So, I wrote over 7,000 words yesterday.  My usual 'daily' word count is maybe 2,000.  Yeesh.  No wonder I'm tired.  I always end up feeling mildly hung over after writing jags like that. 

Anyway, it's off to the beta babes, and will be up just as soon as I can possibly manage it.

Fic: SGA

Title: Dark Reflections
Author: Rhien Elleth
Fandom: SGA
Pairing: Shep/Weir
Rating: NC-17
Disclaimer: Don't own them, yadda, yadda, you know the drill.
Spoilers: Up to 3x02

Summary: Quantum mirror universe.  Pirate!Villain!John.  What, that doesn’t make you want to read all by itself?

**Note: This was written for mspooh as birthday fic, because she requested pirate!John and it turned into a plot bunny that wouldn’t go away.  So, it’s a little belated on the birthday, but smooches, babe.  This one’s all for you.**

Thanks go to amphetamine_47[Unknown site tag] and sorcha_feanor for the awesome beta skills. :) (And I am aware I have more input coming, which I appreciate.  I'll edit the post whenever you get it to me.)

Apparently, this is too large to post in a single LJ entry.  So I'm forced to use my very ugly web skillz to upload a plain webpage for it.  (And by plain, I mean plain.  My web skillz consist of making Word turn it into a web page.  Sorry.)

ETA: For now, it's in PDF form, because Word sucks.  And Word html really frelling sucks.  I'm working on a solution.  Until then, if you have adobe or any other free PDF reader, you're good to read it.
Back up as html, so no pdf reader required.

**Fic post temporarily removed while I beat Word's html feature with a big ass stick. 

OMG, WTF you stupid piece of shit program?  What makes you think it's ok to go through and remove my paragraph spaces???


ETA:  You know what?  I frelling give up.  I've already formatted the entire damn document twice because LJ decided it was too damn big to post.  I just can't do it again right this second without crying frustrated tears of woe.  There's got to be an easier way.  Some do-it-yourself program that will translate how it looks in Word to the perfect damn format without fiddling with every. damn. line.

Help me f-list, you're my only hope.

ETA2: Fic back up, temporarily loaded as a gargantuan PDF doc.  But at least the formatting is intact.   See previous post for the link.  Still trying to get it up in html, but for the moment, this is readable if you have a pdf reader.
