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.

*grins* You always come up with the most interesting ideas for crossovers. Not going to stop you. :D Honestly, I am not. *rubs hands in anticipation*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Yeah, "interesting". Also "oh my GOD what was I thinking I'm INSANE but in a good way"

I need a break from myself :)

Well, having too many plot ideas is still better than writers block, right?

*pats back sympathetically*

Something like that. I'm not sure this is going to turn out the way I wanted it to, but at least it'll be *done* and I can move onto other things. Like that BtVS/AB post-Danse Macabre answer to the "mommy Anita" challenge on TTH.

*iz never going to finish Inevitable at this rate*

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.

yay, long chapters! Yay for me, anyway -- more reading material is always appreciated. And you are my crossover goddess! *sends cookies*

[mhalachaiswords.livejournal.com]

Mmm, cookies are teh yum. Maybe I'll have some this afternoon.
