Fucking blocked, yo. Why do my characters end up sitting around and talking? Shit, I need to make something explode. Maybe I'll kill someone ... I just keep worrying I might somehow end the story too quickly ... how long can you extend battles against the evil one?

WAAH! I SUCK! I'M GOING TO BE AS CRAPPY AS SMEYER AND NOT EVEN HAVE ANY OF THE MONEYS BECAUSE MY CAST IS ALL A BUNCH OF WORKAHOLIC DATELESS ETHNICALLY-DIVERSE SUPERCHICKS AND NO ONE WILL LOVE THEM AND WRITE FEMMESLASH ABOUT THEM EVAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!

[sigh]

Oh God, I'm boring myself. Must blow something up!

Here's something that makes me happy:

I'll post more happy-making things later.

Well, you don't necessarily need death or explosions, but there should be tension of some sort. You can extend fights against the BBEG by having sorties with minions (acting alone or under orders). Then you could have some preliminary or 'testing' battle-- when either or both party isn't ready for a final showdown/confrontation.

If you do end "too quickly", just go back and look for slow spots or places where you could add a little for clarity or extra tension/sub-plots. You'll never be S. Meyer and I, for one, am glad of that! ;)

I liked the Werewolf Bar Mitzvah. That was funny.

My issue is I had a three-way fight between three of the major characters, but since one of them has already (mostly) been declared the winner, I'm kind of floundering.

A test battle before the big one might be good. My BBEG is sort of flat right now, so that might be some character-building, too. I think I knew the latest crisis to beset the girls with, so that's a good sign.

And I think my favorite part is, "There are no Frankensteins."

I seriously keep having the same thoughts... :D Except I have too many guys hanging around mine. Well, okay, three. I actually suddenly created another female character because I just felt the need to balance things out. :D

But yes, the worst feeling is that no one will care enough to slash them! *sob*
