What fool decided it was a good idea to write a Harry Potter/Stargate Atlantis crossover?

Oh yeah.

You would not *believe* how many plot threads I've thrown out in the last four hours. But there's light at the end of the tunnel, and I hope it's not the train.

ETA 1045pmPST: I'm finished the chapter, now I have to go back and change all the verb tenses of "was verbing" to "verbed" and remove all this "looking" everyone's doing. They're making eye contact, we get it.

It's times like this I wish I could write better the first time 'round.

also, this chapter is 12,000 words long. Sheesh.

Ohhh... The editing process. i have lots of hair-pulling moments from the oodles of fun that can be.
Changing the tenses of an entire story is MURDER!

Sending waves of sympathy...

It's not tense change; "John was reading when Elizabeth came along and slapped him in the face with a trout" is still past tense, only all those "was"s get ugly after a while. Le sigh. But really, this is for the best. I can see if I can fix the weak link in the plot, vote Rodney off the island and maybe have it up before lunch tomorrow.

Voting Rodney off the island is unacceptable unless you are planning on sending him my way afterwards.
