i dont know why the running joke of this chapter is kakashi fearing for his kidneys. where did that come from. WHY did that come from.
i should probably cut that in editing it's a little ridiculous.
except it makes me giggle every time so maybe i should leave it there.
#girl's mind fanfic#clena's writing progress#just have to write ONE more conversation and the whole chapter is done. but DAMN if editing wont be a bitch#still wondering if i should cut jiraiya's 3-page infodump#because while most people dont mind#some people keep commenting saying that my fic is too wordy and i keep adding unnecessary things#and like. they're 1% of reviews but i have the emotional fragility of a china teacup#i cry when i get those sorts of reviews and they ruin my day even tho i get twenty comments who love my rambling#but like. also. i shouldnt delete stuff from my fic just for the 1% of assholes who will say mean things about it#but also i dont want to cry when someone inevitably says something mean about it.#most if not all of said assholes are on fanfiction dot net so technically i could just stop cross posting#except there are people on that site who DO like my rambles so#ugh. why am i such an emotionally sensitive crybaby. my life would be so much better#if i didnt have such thin skin#i'm 90% certain that jiraiya's 3-page infodump is going to get LONGER with editing cause i'm gonna turn it from infodump into#an actual conversation. so who knows how many pages it'll be by the end. the chapter's already 6500 words#which is double my average chapter length#and i DO like the info he presents even if it maybe ISNT strictly required for progressing the story. probably only the last paragraph is#ugh. i wish people would just never say mean things ever. then i wouldn't have a problem with anything xD

the urge to write an interlude because interludes can be shorter than my usual minimum required word length just so i can have 3 pages and therefore have a google doc that is EXACTLY 500 pages long is.... so fucking strong. BUT WITH THE PLOT WHERE IT IS WHAT THE FUCK COULD I INTERLUDE ABOUT

The unrealized potential of Natsu as a horror movie-style antagonist.

damn i went looking for the sasuke retrieval arc in the manga just to make sure I didn’t get things too out of character for the sound guys.
and i feel slightly better about my pacing lol. that wasn’t til chapter 177 in the manga (tho tbf the konoha invasion really kicked off at what, chapter 115? and then the tsunade arc happened before sasuke got kidnapped, natsu’s just messed things up more than even he realizes lol) but like.
still.
I’m only in the SIXTIES.
I’m doing GREAT.
...ish.
close enough.
also hurray I got another half a page written! progress is progress! even if I have to keep stopping to look stuff up, like damn it’s been a while.

that moment when you write a short snippet of backstory and suddenly Realize The Plot That Was Sleeping Underneath All Along.
...I think I might actually know what I'm doing with Adventuring now?????? Like I might actually have an overarching plot????? Finally?????????????????????????

only one segment left to edit... the one i'm least sure about... but that's what editing is for!!!!!
and i was right we've already gained 300 words and this segment is the one i feel like will add the MOST since i need to make it less infodump and more conversation, this chapter gets longer and longer every time i look xD

finished another section, even if it took til 2 am.
didnt finish the whole chapter, but i am proud of progress! i think i just need one more section to really round out this one anyway tho, as it's once again a connector-piece that hopefully feels important enough to be worth it xD

me, re-reading Potion Fumes and Periwinkle and remembering how much I love it :(
I KNOW THE HARRY POTTER FANDOM IS DESERVEDLY DYING CAUSE JKR IS A BITCH BUT I WROTE THIS FIC BECAUSE I COULDNT FIND ANYONE ELSE WHO'D WRITTEN IT AND I WANTED TO READ IT.
AND RE-READING IT JUST REMINDS ME HOW MUCH I WANT TO READ THIS FIC.
AND YET I CAN'T.
UNLESS I WRITE IT MYSELF.
RIP.

I have listed out my players in the fight, and the most relevant abilities to keep track of. I have figured out a couple cool things through doing this that have made certain things make MORE sense.
I have also realized I fucked up but have decided that if i don't point out how and where no one else will realize and I can just pretend it isn't a minor plot hole in the combat of the last chapter xD
now i just gotta bring it all together into a cohesive whole!
but first, gotta make some burgers.
omnomnomnom...
