Seduced but Not Yet Ready  
Ahem. So there'll be no fic today. Sorry about that. But see, I'm getting twitchy. This is my first WiP and it has a lot of UST, and I don't want to rush the last few chapters. I think you'd rather wait a little longer than get something that's bad because I rushed.

I mean, each chapter will be a day late, I don't mean this will suddenly turn into weekly updates or something. I just need an extra day or two for each chapter. Plus, the last few will be longer since I don't want to cut sex scenes (GASP! Spoiler!) in stupid places. Emotions are running high, Harry and Draco are two very upset (and in love) idiots so keeping that balance between making them emotional but not turning them weepy and making sure they react as the stubborn and a little crazy men they are is gonna require caution. I'd hate to waste this UST. Explosions take time and need proper care.

So I just want you to know I'm not being purposely mean, I just don't want to fuck this up. And I actually have a beta. Not that that will slow down the process, she tells me she's super-speedy, but the increasing amount of typos is another clue I'm rushing, and that's BAD!

Also, at this point, no matter where I end the chapters it will look like a cliffhanger. Some crazy stuff has yet to come.

Forgive?

In other news: You have about four more hours to comment here and get a chance to win a copy of the book: Wicked Gentlemen by [livejournal.com profile] ginnhale. So if you want this book and don't have the money to buy it go there and sign up. If you don't want the book or have the money to buy it, then don't go there and sign up. :D Read the details on that link.

The fabulous [livejournal.com profile] bryoneybrynn is giving two books away, and [livejournal.com profile] rickey_a two more. So that's four books, and (I think) 66 people entered this . . . I'm gonna call it The Draw of Bryoney the Generous. Good luck, everyone!

Darling, I can be patience for your brilliance. Doesn't mean I won't get twitchy, too, though! But this HAS been a brilliant series and I would rather you take the time to continue to produce your brilliance than rush into it and be unsatisfied with your work. Either way, I ♥ you! Always!

*hugs tight*

That is good to know! *feels better already*

♥ you!

Please don't be mad at me.

I won't read your WIP until it's finished. The first chap was awesome, but I think I will wait till the last chapter comes out...

*squishes you*

Oh, all right then! :D

You are so cute, giving this long apology/explanation. Yes, I'm really looking forward to your next update, and yes, I'm a rather impatient person, but ... hello? People have lives outside LJ, and we will all understand.

Not that anything you write will be 'bad' but yes, I totally get that you want to take your time, to take care with it. *squishes you*

Um ... when I do start saying, "Come on, where's the update," (because I anticipate that I will again in future) I'm not seriously upset; it's only 'cause I love your stuff. *nods* I'm not speaking for anyone else, but I suspect that's the general feeling about your work. ♥

*smooches*
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:08 pm (UTC)
I just have this promise-giving disease! I can't stop myself from promising all kinds of stuff (and I mean it at the time) but then things happen and it turns out I lied. This happens to me in RL all the time, and I just hate that it happens to me here, too. Though, I suppose, it's logical that it would.

Um ... when I do start saying, "Come on, where's the update," (because I anticipate that I will again in future) I'm not seriously upset;

The rational part of my brain (the tiny one) knows that, but it's nice to have confirmation. :D

*squishes* Thank you, love!
[identity profile] bryoneybrynn.livejournal.com on March 2nd, 2009 02:19 am (UTC)
I second this. I whine and pout because I love it but NOT to actually pressure you. Just to let you know the depth of my adoration for you and your boys. :)

Argh! I would have forgiven you if you hadn't made me think this was an update! *ties you to chair*

:-D You're such a tease.

Hehee... really, don't worry, sweets! We'll be waiting patiently for when you do post. *snuggles*
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:10 pm (UTC)

No, damn you! You're not forgiven!!!!! EVIL! :P

Okay, okay, yes, do take care of that. :) We know you want to give us your best story, dear. No worries. :) *takes time to get caught up*

Nah. I just have to get the right rhythm for reading, that's all. :)
[identity profile] anelma-unelma.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:13 pm (UTC)
You are most forgiven. I just happy you are making WIPs (Oh yes, I am. Even tough I've been a terribly lazy commenter lately, I read every chapter with care and interest.) I hope this won't be last WIP from you, so don't worry about the shedules too much. Quality is better than pace.:)
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:16 pm (UTC)
Glad you're reading, love! ♥

Thank you, good to know. I actually like this WiP business. I am nervous since this is my first, but it's easier to focus on one plot than a hundred of them. :D
[identity profile] anelma-unelma.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:25 pm (UTC)
Yay! Good to hear you are enjoing your self. WIPs are best:) Nothing is worse than a good story ending way too soon.
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:26 pm (UTC)
Oh I will always love oneshots. *nods*
[identity profile] delorispea.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 08:26 pm (UTC)
Sque. It will be worth waiting for then so I'm okay!
Plus it will distract me less from revision!
pesk real life getting in the way.

Good luck with your revisions!

I'm patient. Take all the time you need to enjoy writing it. :)

♥ ♥ ♥

BTW, have you seen Dollhouse? I actually liked this episode.
[identity profile] heathen-arcade.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 09:08 pm (UTC)
I liked it, too. I liked Echo more. She was less blank in this one. And the plot worked, and it had subplots. :)
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 1st, 2009 09:15 pm (UTC)
It occurred to me that Echo said (in the first episode) something about blank slates, that you can never really clean them. So I'm hoping I will get my damn Point of View character! And she'll have character. *sigh*

seduced but not ready
I don't want to cut sex scenes (GASP! Spoiler!)
OMG! No! reading on is just useless now! Yay sex! *g*

It's a good thing that you take your time! I really am looking forward to the next chapters, but I rather read stories that came out the way you wanted them to and not just on the date this was supposed to happen. :)

"I'm not being purposely mean." Yes you aaaaaaaarrrrrre!!!!!! *wails* You are mean to meeeeeee. You're doing it on purpose! Do:

Joking aside, (well, mostly joking) we'd hate you to waste that tasty, tasty UST as well. I do so love a good explosion. Don't rush it, take your time and make sure it's as good as you want it to be. *hugs*

I totally understand. I still think you're a godess and will wait with baited breath for the PR0N and such. lol <3333

Man, WiPs = pressure. But I think I like this long-chaptered stuff. It's nice to focus on ONE plot, kinda easier, but difficult for other reasons. Hmmm. I have this crazy plot for another WiP, a twist on a classic bonding storyline. *shakes head at self* I might turn into a WiP girl after all. Or not.
Joy[identity profile] tkp.livejournal.com on March 2nd, 2009 05:35 am (UTC)
I was waiting until you finished to read your story but then I got impatient. I always really enjoy reading your work, and this was no disappointment. I was so glad to see you doing something longer. You shouldn't sweat making people wait--people should know what they're getting into if they read a WiP. After you finish this one, I hope you consider writing more longer stuff in the future, because it's a lot of fun.
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 2nd, 2009 06:14 pm (UTC)
It IS fun. Almost kinda easier because I just have to focus on one plot, and I have to set things up just once and then let the story flow. But it's a lil' nerve wrecking. I mean, when I post a one-shot I know that people who reviewed and said they liked it, liked the WHOLE (well, more or less) story; those who didn't, ran away and I don't know it. And now I only know that they liked THIS ONE chapter, and I could still fuck it up with the next one. *is paranoid*

I just need to get over this nervousness. I was in my comfort zone with my shortish one-shots.

And thank you for letting me know you're reading! ♥
[identity profile] cleo-jay.livejournal.com on March 2nd, 2009 02:39 pm (UTC)
Heehee! I'm perfectly happy waiting....seeing as I was waiting impatiently until you finished it all anyway! So I'll just continue as I was, & watch gleefully while the rest of your flist weeps & flails! ;D ♥ you, honey!
faithwood.livejournal.com[identity profile] faithwood.livejournal.com on March 2nd, 2009 06:15 pm (UTC)
OMG! You're so MEAN! :D

Yup, sad but true! *tosses popcorn in mouth & snickers while watching them cry* ;D
