Fanfiction: There is no end to the making of revisions

[nebroadwe]

Everybody else has NaNo; I've got "In My End Is My Beginning":

2,132 / 10,000 (21.3%)

I'm upping the potential final word count to ten thousand, partly because it's a nice, round number; partly because I'd love to have something that long up at FF.net to draw in more readers; and partly because the rewritten bit is already 355 words longer than it was in the original and I've got my eye on three other sections that will require beefing up on a similar scale. Argh. But Winry's internal monologue is flowing more smoothly now that I've figured out what's bothering her in relation to what's bothering Ed, so the opening isn't just all about plot exposition. ("It has to go somewhere!") I still want a better title, but maybe one will pop up later.

Oh, Fraggle Rock was so...silly. And colorful. And very playful. No guest stars but a lot of fun.

OMG I remember Fraggle Rock! Fraggle Rock was win! ...And now I want the theme as a ring tone. Damn.

I'm sure it's available now, since the first season was just released on DVD.

There are SO MANY shows I want on DVD. *sigh*

I'll guess I'll have to be content with my Statlor and Waldorf ornament from Hallmark this year...

I got Sapphire and Steel from the used DVD store around the corner from my Mom's house, which made me Much Pleased. I still want Robin of Sherwood on DVD...but only the first two seasons, if I could get away with that - oooo, and Emma Peel's The Avengers</>. Mmmm. Emma Peel.

Yay Avengers! I might get that for my dad for Christmas this year; we used to watch those together all the time, when I was little and independent t.v. stations showed that sort of thing. That and The Rockford Files and The Wild, Wild West ... [drifts off into a fog of pop culture reminiscence]

That would definitely be one I'd like to have. *laughs* I remember, when I hung out at the Condo o' Mystery (my boyfriend's place) in the '80's, we used to reminisce about how wonderful The Avengers was.

This. I just keep spending all my fun money on anime, though. (And books.) Fortunately, my family is willing to purchase the U.S./U.K.-originating stuff for my birthday every now and again.
