sword_logic | fic talk: done? done. (Reply)

yep! yep. i'm callin' it done. gdocs is clocking in at 103,773 words (which is inaccurate for a few reasons, but close enough). i'm waiting until tomorrow to post it, just in case i suddenly think of something to change.

HOO. the general feeling right now is satisfaction/relief and excitement. people will read the thing! and this part features some of my favorite writing; i'll share my favorite bits once it's posted. i let this sit over the past week (ish?) and i kept realizing that i'm just really happy with this, overall. i sat down and did one last editing read-through and honestly only caught tiny things (typos and a handful of rearranged sentences), and there's honestly no reason to keep sitting on this for much longer.

i'm also still kind of in shock that this ended up hitting the 100,000 word mark. i remember when i started, i (clearly, very poorly) projected this fic to be about 60k, maybe 80k, and even back when i was working on part ii i thought this might cap out at about 80k. boy. also kinda interesting that the chapters ended up being a 40k/20k/40k split; i feel like if i were to split this all over again now that it's done, i'd do it in a slightly different way just because the sections of this fic are split up a little differently in my mind. oh well, though, i don't think i'm going to bother shuffling the chapters around. i don't care that much. :B

anyways! wow. i'm done. i'll be posting this tomorrow (probably). after almost six and a half years since i thought of it, this fic will be done.
