'the fic' rant. yeah. scroll onwards, nothing important here

*sigh*

I can definitely see the allure in finishing a short fic and then posting it immediately and running away.

Been reading the monstrosity called Potterfic for days now, going through the passages and polishing a part here, changing a bit of dialogue there. It's hard work, but I kind of like it because I'm not completely disgusted by the text. So yay.

On the other hand, there are lots of awkward scenes I cringe at, and it reminds me that yeah, it's been three years since I wrote some of the early scenes.

So I groan at some idiocies Snape definitely wouldn't say and delete a bit of dialogue or rewrite it. It's like hitting my head on the same wall over and over again, unable to just move on and concentrate on the scenes that aren't even finished yet.

wolfsbride joked once that I'm the Queen of Polishing, but she was absolutely right with that.

Maybe it's a good thing. Better to re-read and re-write this over and over again until I have a blinding headache (yeah, like now) and can almost hear Snape's sarcasting voice calling me an imbecil than to post utter crap and then feel like an imbecil.

Sorry about ranting, I know everyone's tired of me and this fic. :D My poor baby. Scorned even before it's fully born.

*rushes off to polish*
