The usual FYI

[misqueue]

I'm behind with comments and stuff again. I haven't forgotten you guys! 4x04 really derailed my brain. I'm currently doing edits on ITWOS trying to get my head back into the story so I can finish the epilogue, with which I'm horribly stuck. I have been writing, but a 12,000 word draft of a 4x04 reaction fic isn't what I've meant to be doing. Also tumblr is distracting.

I'm leaving to go back to the US for a few months in less than two weeks. I have to get this done before I travel.

Oh, Brain, you drive me insane.

Back to it.

it seems both overly melodramatic and too sentimental

GAWD FORBID! YOU WILL NEVER FIND AN AUDIENCE FOR THAT AROUND THESE HERE PARTS.

(The last person I betaed for wrote this fantastic 500-word aside (about Roy Mustang being confused by small children...) and shot it to me in an email, saying, "I really love this, but I think I should leave it out; it's really self-indulgent." Naturally, I told her, "You're right, it is awesome. IF YOU CANNOT BE SELF-INDULGENT IN FANFIC, WHERE THE HELL CAN YOU BE?" *sings at you:* Bring me your poor, your tired, your overwrought and soppy!)

*helplessly laughing* You are awesome and totally right. ♥ I needed the reminder. I always end up tripping over myself when I start taking things too seriously. Fanfic is srs! :P

(500 words of Roy Mustang baffled by small children sounds freakin' fantastic.)
