It's not a unicorn. It does exist.
It only took three years to finish this chapter.
Here's hoping it won't take the full ten years to finish the story.
This has not been edited, but I figured, everyone has waited long enough for this. The edited version will be posted on the archives.

This it the trouble when you write for yourself; you never remember what chapter is which.
The file says 108. Who am I to argue?

Packers need more points. Dammit.
But finding out Unforgettable moved into the top five most read stories on lotrfanfiction.com made me happy. Guess I need to go write more of that.
*tries to shoo away Fingon and Maedhros* That was a dangerous meme to post last night...
ps... running it against stats for other stories, I just noticed it's only about 170 words short of surpassing Dark Dreamer's epic 'Firedance'... *shoves Fingon and Maedhros into the nearest linen closet* Alright, where did blondie and his pal wander off to...

Unforgettable -- 106 (Book 4, Chapter 17)
Dec. 7th, 2009 01:09 amAnother chapter already? Why, yes... because book 2-3-4 was my 2007 nanowrimo, which I'm *finally* getting to chunks written back then again... yay! (which means most of this chapter was sat on for over 2 years... hope it's not stale...)

So, after SNL was over, I wandered out to the kitchen to get some blackberries, and came back to find Mark had the laptop so he could 'add something inappropriate'...
An excerpt you WON'T find from Unforgettable...
“That would be the third bottle, and he certainly can once you have finished that one,” said Ecthelion, who was betting on the fact that Glorfindel would not make it to a third bottle.
“Are we here to play cards or chatter like housewives?” demanded Voronwe as he tossed two chips into the center.
“Did you take my potato chips? Are those my potato chips, you potato chip thief!” raged Glorfindel. The bewildered look on Voronwe’s face only fueled the blonde’s anger as he drew his dagger. “Potato chip thief!”
I'll let y'all guess which paragraph was the one he added... :D

I had a thought this morning. The only really good parts of this novel so far are the flashbacks about Glorfindel. Why not scrap the rest, and jump back and tell this as a pre-Unforgettable story instead of a post-Unforgettable story?
And then, I was thinking about it, and really this novel is about letting go (though temporarily). Just as Erestor is having trouble moving forward after Glorfindel's death, I'm having trouble moving a story forward without him -- so much so, I keep writing flashbacks.
Still not sure where I'm going with things on this. Hopefully I'll be at 25K tonight, one way or another.
still haven't budged from 22099...

the end is near
Sep. 28th, 2009 09:07 amwe plan to be done with moving/cleaning apartment by Wednesday
everything that is left should be able to be moved by the babycar, if the war wagon doesn't get emptied
war wagon needs plate renewed
we need updated licenses
i think only aaa needs new address... will find out when i stop getting mail from other places
aaa site sucks for address change, and, everything else
hope by mid-week to get to go back to semi-normal: finishing chapter that sat since may, and finally posting for RPG that started last week

Talkative Muses
May. 10th, 2009 04:08 amWell NOW I know why the muses wouldn't shut up, Britt!
Unforgettable hit 250,000 words tonight.
Er, this morning.
Anyhow, that's like, five nano novels. Only, coherent.
And, there's more to come.
So... my guess of 300K on this story for a total could be off by a bit...

Unforgettable -- part 103

Rated NC17 for the entire thing
Book 4; Chapter 14 of bunches
Overall part 103
All about Glorfindel and Erestor, and lots of other Gondolin folk
But, mostly them

Note: I don't know if I like this chapter yet. Translation: This is actually one of two versions of chapter 103; it's possible I could decide by the morning that I didn't like this version as much or something.

Note: With apologies and much respect to both Slade & Erasure on revamping two really awesome songs (into something surely cheesier) that brought about the idea for this chapter and what led to it.
“Lords, ladies, and gentlefolk of all kinds, we are proud to present for your entertainment the brand-new theatrical experience from the plot-master himself, Lord Duilin. Submitted for your approval, Chameleon!”
The lights dimmed and Glorfindel excitedly drew forth his spectacles in order to see the stage. The black curtains drew back, and revealed a curtain of crushed green velvet with a single elf standing before them. It was Erestor, splendidly dressed – and wearing a wig, Glorfindel realized. His temporary jealousy regarding Erestor’s temporary solution to short-cropped soldier hair was interrupted as the music from the orchestra swelled.
The program stated that the first song was titled ‘Tangle of Lies’. And this is how it went:

Rated NC17 for the entire thing
Book 4; Chapter 11 of bunches
Overall part 100!

Note: Anyone can write 100 chapters of angsty historical romance if they write for a long enough time. Posting the 100th chapter on Valentine's Day? Priceless.
The next coherent thoughts Glorfindel had were hours later. He blinked and saw the cream-colored blanket that was clutched in his hands, wrapped around his arms. The table not far away, with an empty dish and an empty wine bottle and a mostly empty bottle of something else he remembered Faelion once bringing and leaving. The liquor had remained previously untouched.
There was the floor, as Glorfindel looked around more, and clothing left strewn on the floor. Obviously, he was naked, he realized as he shifted and felt the soft blanket slide over his hip. Then something else became evident – he was not alone.

“You are flat again.” Erestor’s voice was slow and relaxed, meaning he informed Faelion of this three notes later.
“I have smaller hands than you do,” complained the young elf.
“No excuse on a stringed instrument... just slide your hand...” If there was more to be added, it was lost in the soft groan of pleasure.
