I AM DONE WITH NANO!!!

Apart from the fact that some of those characters own a bit of my soul, and always will, and will never leave me as long as I have some fandom love in me.

But, I have just posted the epilogue on nano_fan, and I am DONE WITH NANO.

So it could have been edited better. Yes, alright. But then I'd have never posted it, and I needed to get it out of the way. It might have meant writing over 50,000 words in a month, but it's also borne down on me ever since and I've been unable to write much of anything else since. Now, at last, I've finished telling my tale of the Operative. Now I can let those characters rest.

the_grynne, thanks again for your incredibly valuable help on the Chinese. greenie_breizh and Frédéric, thank you for the input and the suggestions and the urging me on.

I AM DONE.

Now it's time to get back to writing, damnit.


EDIT: in the personal announcement section, happy birthday to heikki_cheren (or not, if you'd rather people still didn't wish it to you - take your pick!), and welcome to this world to Frédéric's baby niece, Kim. (I like the name, despite the horribleness that's Kim Bauer. Nice one!)

"Ha! You'll have to let me know how it turns out."

Well... It was quite short, but I guess his face when someone at the pub handed me a wrapped present was kinda worth it. Later, he claimed he had actually thought about a present for me, but just totally forgot the date and wasn't even sure I ever mentionned it. Because my birthdate is so difficult to remember, ain't it?

Now.... I'm not sure seeing his face at that moment was worth getting that present. A stuffed animal. What's up with guys giving me stuffed animals for my birthdays??? Anyway, at first it looked all cute and nice and... But later, Christophe mentionned that from the guy who gave it to me, it may almost be the equivalent of a declaration. That he never saw him going that far with a girl.
I'm still hoping he was just kidding me (but then, it unfortunately sounds believable. Not that this guy could fall for me, but that giving such a present is a very rare and meaningful event for him. He is the one guy to be proud of being a virgin and not being interested in sex&co), 'cos at that point I just felt like hitting walls with my head. I just can't believe how things turned, it's so fucking not right and it makes no sense whatsoever.
I'm almost thankful for Y. to have decided to skip social SF events, otherwise last mondays could have been even more complex. Three guys hitting on me (more or less discretly) and two who achieved more.... Well, it still was 3/1, that's already WAY too much. Something turned wrong in the grand sheme of things, really.

...heh. I shouldn't be so amused by all the drama, I'm sorry. Doesn't mean I don't sympathise, just, from an exterior point of view? It's worth a small 'heh'.

I'm sorry to hear about the whole might-be-declaration, though, if that's not something you wanted. And I sympathise on the stuffed-animal thing.

Well, from a not-exterior point of view, it's less and less amusing, it just ruined the whole thing.

Not, totally not wanted, as most of the others. Thanks for the sympathy, but actually that's maybe one of the positive thing, a souvenir from a happier time. Plus it's nicer than my cat, it accepts to be hugged and don't try to scratch me if I hold it. I appreciate that very much. Good little cub. *g*
