What's over? A fic's over, that's what. :D
So, last week I finished my geekporn fic, Renfield and Chiclets, and to be honest, I'm kind of ... idk... excited? (yes, I do still have the FGB outtake to write, but the story is done, so there)
Thus far, in my not-so-extensive fan fic run, I've finished 4 long fics. And strangely, for all 4, I've felt completely different emotions when I hit that little complete box.
- For the first fic, to be blunt, I was tired of writing that sucker. I liked the story, but there were so many things that I'd have changed that I was just relieved to be done with it.
- For my novella, I felt almost nothing. I was like oh, okay... um, done.
- For Dark Games, the one I still refer to as my baby, a rather nasty little depression ensued. In fact, I still miss the hale out of writing that fic. And that little depression is what ultimately ended up pushing me to write another darkward, even though I already had 2 WIPs going. I missed the vamps, what can I say?
- For Renflied, the most recent "complete", IDK. It's like YAY! I'm done. It was fun and now it's over. A week later, and I'm still happy. I loved my little story and I adored my Edward. But it was time to say goodbye, if that makes sense. No regrets. I'd say this was my most "healthy" end.
It will be a while before I hit that button again. My two WIPs are nowhere close to complete. But for now, I'm still kinda basking.
So, tell me about your completed fics. What did it feel like to say good bye? Did you cry? Did you pour yourself up a round? Did you heave a sigh of relief and take a nap? Were you indifferent? Did you immediately start writing a new story?
(this is a colorful post, no?)
Oh and here's some Roblicious for your viewing pleasure. Bask away!
