Subject: Millenium Dreams Author: Kristyn [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 19:04:34 10/13/02 Sun I just read Restless Night, and it said that it would be continued in Millenium Dreams. But, Millenium Dreams isn't on the webpage. Is it in the process of being written, or was it just forgotten to be posted? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Millenium Dreams Author: Margot [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:29:32 10/18/02 Fri Milleniums Dreams is part of the Primal Dreams series. I don't post that as I go along. I complete each story, and then post it. I have not been able to work on MD because of Journey and Storming Heaven. I simply can't do it all. The plan has been for me to get Journey to a point where I can logically take a break from it for a while, and to wrap up Storming Heaven, then go back to work on MD. Wrapping up Now and Then was supposed to fit in there someplace, too. That's still the plan, but it is taking much longer to put it into place than I expected. RL has been throwing me some curves.

'Cause I keep looking, and if they are there, I'm having some kind of weird early-alzheimers blind spot... [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Millenium Dreams Author: andraniki [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:30:18 08/15/04 Sun OK I am late as usual but I have just finished Puppy Dog eyes and Restless. I was excited to see that you planned to continue the Spike/Willow saga. But I was distressed to see that this plan was made YEARS AGO!!! Which leaves me wondering if you have lost interest in the story and no longer planning to continue. I am depressed! I have to tell you that you write some of the most movingly angsty fic I have ever read. Being a lover of Spike I am also amazed at how I can love your fic given his constant state of pain (but I feel there is hope for his happiness....but not if you never complete the saga) Please tell me that there is still a chance that you wil be continuing this story!

[> [> Subject: Re: Millenium Dreams Author: Margot [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:07:54 08/20/04 Fri Short answer: The plan is still in place. Real life has seriously intruded this year. I was very ill, very involved in Saving Angel, suffered a death in my family and other related trauma, including being rushed to the hospital, myself, two weeks ago. (I'm pretty much fine, now. Just need follow-up.) Here's what you have to understand about Millennium Dreams, Journey, Storming Heaven and, really, about most of my work. I tend to write long better than I write short. Short is mainly to get stuff out of my system. But, writing the longer fics involves continuity issues. I think that waiting to show anyone All Too Human, ...on the Highway of... and Puppy Dog Eyes until they were complete was the best move I could have made. Ditto Crossed Lines, although that was a quick fic that has a very flawed ending that perhaps a bit of time could have fixed. That's another issue. The point is, it is entirely possible that posting Journey and SH a chapter at a time was a big mistake from the point of view of telling a cohesive story. There are continuity errors in Journey that aggravate me no end. By not waiting until the story was done, I allowed myself time and distance, and the ability to keep working at a more leisurely pace, but this means I have to work harder to get back into the framework of the story when I return to it. The longer the story gets, the more material I have to re-read before I can move on to the next bit. That doesn't happen nearly as much when I write something in its entirety before posting. So, the plan remains: get Journey to a logical place to take a break from it, wrap up SH, work on a few other odds and ends, then go back to MD. I have plans for that fic. They aren't abandoned, they are just delayed. I also have some other fic in the pipeline. My muse is doing some very strange things, lately. But, it will be a while before anything is posted. I can only hope that people will find things worth the wait. MleF [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
