Fanfic-related rant

Three hours.

*fumes*

That's how long I spent curled in my bed this morning, trying to finish the last scene of The Journey Of The Phoenix. I thought of one thousand different directions, but all of them got stuck somewhere.

Stupid Remus, it's all his fault. He's said some things in previous chapters that I can't get him to rectify. *sob* They seemed like such good ideas at the time...

I think I might have to return to the original idea of the ending and work from there. I've deleted it from my computer, but I'd sent it to some people (including cyad) so I think it must be somewhere in my outbox.

If this story isn't complete by the end of my Easter break (i.e. May 1st) I swear I'll go crazy. I mean, I've been working on this scene since SEPTEMBER! Come ON!

/end rant.

See ya,
Anna.

You know, I might take up on that offer ;)

I currently have a messed up file, with the story up to that scene and then a thousand tidbits on how to end it, including two versions that I had thought were final (each one at its time) but then decided were not good enough. And now I'm working on a version that seems to be going well, but I'm afraid I won't be able to incorporate in it something that I'd like to have in the story. Plus it's so angstless it feels out of tune with the rest of the fic.

Also - looking back at the tidbits, there's one that looks promising. (Gah. Me is so confused)

You know what? Even if I decide on one ending, I'll be glad to have someone tell me what they think. So, if you're willing to get involved in a 50-pages-long story (maybe around half the length if we isolate the Remus/Tonks-ness), send me an email ( lcannabtg [at] yahoo [dot] gr ) and I'll send it to you.

Thanks a million!
See ya,
Anna.
