Unfeathered Notes

Okay, so I said I wasn't going to get these beta'd, because I didn't think I had the confidence to face a one-to one critique or the energy to make decisions on what to change etc.

But to be honest these last two chapters have been chopped about and mashed up so many times that I really do think I need to get *someone* to at least read them through before I post them and make sure they make sense and that the way they tie back into canon at the end works and doesn't contradict anything etc. etc.

After all, I've got this far. It would make sense to make sure these final two parts are the best they can be before I finally release them into the wild, wouldn't it?

So... Is there anyone out there who wouldn't mind looking them over for me, please? There's about 9,000 words in total between the two parts, but *ideally* you'd need to have read through all the previous parts too (about 48,000 words) or at least to be familiar with them from the (distant!) past. But I know that's a lot to ask, so honestly, I'll take anyone just reading them through for sense!

Parts 1-10 are up on AO3, part 11 will be posted tomorrow (Sunday) and part 12 on Monday, so if you do want a (re)read then that's where to find them. Please read the AO3 ones as they've all be tweaked at least a tiny bit from the original versions posted on LJ. And if anyone wants parts 11 and 12 before I post them, let me know and I can send you the Word versions. Along with 13 and 14 (the final two) if you're willing to beta them! :-)

Anyway, yeah. So, anyone up for this, even just reading through for sense?

So, er. I'm writing again.

I hadn't even logged in to my personal journal for *months*, and then suddenly something made me want to. I'm not even sure what it was, but I decided to have another look at that unfinished epic of mine, Master Plan. I started reading through it and got totally hooked all over again. And it's so very, very nearly finished. One completed penultimate chapter ready to post and final chapter sorted and shaped out and just needing to be fleshed out in a couple of places.

This time, I'm going to do it. I'm going to get the damn thing finished and posted. Who cares if it's more than twelve years since I started it and over eleven since I abandoned it, and all my original readers have moved on to different fandoms and/or platforms? *I* want it finished.

And also, as I've finally begun to accept that the readers aren't on LJ/DW any more but over at AO3, and as I posted my last fic over at AO3, I've been meaning to get at least some of my old fics posted over there, except time got in the way. But now, I have finally made a start. I posted Part 1 of Master Plan over there last night and Part 2 earlier today, and they've already had 43 hits, so there obviously *are* people still out there reading fic, just not over here any more!

So I'm going to go through the chapters, tweak them a little where they really need it, and post them, hopefully one a day, over on AO3. And by the time I've got to the end of them, I will have finished the last two parts and I will post them too. I promise.

So, it's a year and a day since I posted the first part of Master Plan. I did kind of hope to get the whole thing finished within a year, to make it more or less real time, but that wasn't to be. However, I don't think there's an awful lot more to go, so you never know - maybe I'll get it finished by the 'real' ending time of October.
