Yeah, but how does it FEEL?

My break from working on Restraint has borne some fruit. I woke up this morning knowing that I should leave the serial numbers on.

Why? It just felt better. And if I don't follow my gut in creative matters, what the hell am I doing being creative at all? Huh? Look at all the glee I get to retain if Restraint stays fanfic:

• Owzers's fantastic manips
• All four prologues if I want
• Posting in parts
• Posting in ebook form to OTW's Archive of Our Own
• Soundtrack!
• Minor RP character glee
• The silly Supernatural in-jokes that got in there on Day One and have resisted being edited back out
• The ridiculous Latin pun on Mr Acklebury's name

So, fic it is. Yay! I can get back to writing.

Yay for decisions! And publishing is not an easy road, or so I've been told. I think your writing is eminently publishable wrt standard of writing, but the market for *paid* yaoi seems relatively small. I'm glad you're grabbing hold of all the fun and enjoyment.

Thanks. That's kind of the conclusion I came to, and I've felt really good about it.

awesome!

definitely some great points - and the references to spn make the fic even more epic for me!

(ok, seriously, i need more icons! can't decide if i should use more lj ones or add some new ones)

*votes for new icons*

Did I tell you that in a weird backward way, even the Impala figures in the historfic?
