It's been almost 10yrs! Come back for Troublesome Timing 😝 we're still here. P.s how's life going? How d'ya feel?

Thank you <3 for staying with the story

Life's busy - signed up for another startup life, and I've been terrible about establishing my boundaries, but it's interesting work

TT Status - I haven't given up on it. We haven't gotten to the two scenes that inspired the original story, and I'm personally curious how we're going to get to the ending that I have in mind. (I now understand how some author's feel when they mention writing a storyline unintentionally and basically getting to be a reader at the same time). Buut I definitely haven't been working on it =.= Ongoing hiatus is due to (a) lost my detailed notes tracking the various story lines and (b) been debating if I want to take a page from MuffinLance and just aim for an outline of the story, or do a snippet oneshot series, or just close the existing work and start a sequel with the caveat that there may be discontinuities, as opposed to aiming for my original 'ideal' continuation. aaaannnd instead of making a decision, I've found a lot more great fics to read ~~~~:D ~~~~ but yea, I'd like to make it a 'one and done' where it's finished before I post on ao3, but copy other authors' approach of trialing snippets on tumblr beforehand or something.

[aternoctis]

How are you doing? :)

derpderpderp. i don't know how i missed these. my bad.

hope you all are doing well!

[aternoctis]

Was rereading some of 'Troublesome Timing' recently and I just wanted to tell you how much I love this fic. I appreciate that you shared it with us readers. It so well written and thought out.

<3 thanks that means a lot.

[aternoctis]

Hi :-), will you ever return to continue Troublesome Timing?

yeessssssssss

i still haven't written the 2 scene(s) that inspired the whole bit. =.=

but uh yea need to get back on the train.

[aternoctis]

I’m still actively reading; writing has mostly been poking and scratching out outlines like.... every other third month....

How's life going?

Way too busy >.<;; In a much better headspace now, but with like 6 moves since I’ve last written a chapter, my notes are a disaster... and then I've been distracted by Bleach/Hunger Games/ and Winter Soldier stories XD Been pretty thankful for the kind reviews that still trickle in, and have a much better plot I like for one group - but I still hate the original plot I have for another group in Troublesome Timing, so still on a bit of a writer’s block there.

How’s life going for you/y’all?

[aternoctis]

I need to whine into the abyss of the internet, but can anyone like make a podfic of TT? Like seriously, how do ff writers do it? I must have like a dozen drafts of the chapter saved. It’s mainly finding time to make it all coherent/making sure things don’t conflict. and I’m usually running around at work and gah how do people life?

anyway, I’ll figure something out, but I just needed to vent.

[aternoctis]

When r u gona update troublesome timing?

tl;dr: Most likely, not until end of December, during that New Years period when everyone’s on vacation. This is super unlikely, but if I’m really crazy and inspired, possibly at the end of this month.

Extended explanation: Trying to find a place to live atm. Packing, unpacking, a wedding, and then work deadlines will most likely suck up a lot of time - and that’s hoping I don’t have to shop for a car. Previously, it took about a solid week of writing several hours everyday to hold onto the 5,000-word weekly chapter update rate. I’m hoping to find a routine after I’ve moved and settled in, that would support a once a month update rate.

I have been working on the next chapter on and off, so there is the odd chance, that I will be able to plow through the chapter when I’m at the airport at the end of this month, but that’s unlikely.

you. you lovely anon(s) who are leaving me such lovely messages and answering my questions that leave me actually speechless and flailing.

Thank You.

Also, I am tipsy, which is prolly why I can get this out, but thanks for all the encouragement and patience. Just finally got and started a job this week. It is so awesome, but leaves me with little time to do anything else.

On the flip side, I finally figured out how to revamp the plot I was dissatisfied by.

but uh yea, thank you - seriously, I don’t know how you people come up with such eloquent words - like, waaaat?

it is very much appreciated.
