Star Trek Big Bang Fic status report.
Fic is currently at 54,000 words, 119 pages. I expect another 2K to round off the rough draft. It's been partially beta'd, and it's been test-read by a couple of people. I still have to finish writing the wind-up scene, but I can do that. It will be ready in time to submit to the Big Bang folks tonight.
I have to admit, I'm nervous as hell. I've invested a lot of personal and emotional energy into this fic. It's gotten into my head, hit on some very personal issues I have, and taken over my thought process. I've dug into some pretty deep issues in this fic. I got the plot bunny for it over three months ago, but I only began actively writing it after I got back from San Francisco.
I guess I'm worried that the fic won't be well-received, or that it will fade into the mess of other Big Bang fics that will be posted and won't be noticed. Normally, while I want my fics to do well, it's not something that gets me horribly keyed up. This time, I'm actively nervous, and I really want this fic to be spectacular. Need this fic to be spectacular. Not sure why. I just do.
The wait between now and when it gets posted, however, is what's going to kill me. All that time, not knowing how it'll be received. *sigh*
When I finish this tonight and send it off, I'm gonna need a drink.
