It's 5:30PM, and I'm typing against the barometer to finish "Going Under". If it doesn't get finished tonight, it will be delayed until Friday, a victim of North Florida weather. Yesterday, our pristine week vanished amid promises of rain untold-36 hours' worth. Thanks, you grinning, toupee-sporting, disaster-mongering tool. Please take your low pressure system and cram it right up your doppler radar.
Whenever "Going Under" makes its star turn in the ficcing world, it will be here. I want to put in on display in a forum where I can be free to tweak and rethink without the critical scrutiny of a broader audience. That isn't to say that members of my flist or passersby to my LJ won't comment or should withhold comment; indeed, it is my hope that they will comment long and loudly. However, if they do feel the need to say why they feel the story does or does not work as it stands, they are apt to be slightly more civil in their negative criticism than the ravening, pencil-necked troll monkeys that lurk on FF.Net and the myriad fic comms on LJ. Their dissection is likely to be restricted to the finished story, not the keyboard doofus behind it, and since this is my first foray into CSI: NY fandom, I am decidedly skittish.
After a day or so or whenever I'm satisfied that I'm not sending the story into the world with its fly unzipped, it will appear on FF.net and any other sites that will have it. I looked into CSI Forensics as
kcountess suggested, but like Digital Quill, it uses the eFiction script, that diabolical uploading system that reduces me to a gibbering, weeping heap of impotent, red-faced, Luddite rage. Long may it burn, and may its inventor be scourged with perpetual hemorrhoids.
Well, back to beating the Devil with Daniel Webster.
