Bob in Spaaaace! first draft is done.

41943 words, which is way longer than I've ever written before.

I'm going to let it sit now and then go back later and do some editing I've already received. Then off to beta it goes.

I am so happy right now!

I never expected the story to end up being this long, but better still. I actually like how it ended up. It needs cleaning up in a parts, but mostly. It's fine :D

Thank you!

You could, but that seems like such a lot of trouble. I could wait. Honest.

it's actually easier for me to edit long things on paper than on screen - and if I mail you the print out, I don't have to spend hours typing up the things I marked, so - I'm the one being lazy here!

Man, me too. When I started this no way did I think it would end so long.

Btw, I know you're off having a social life right now, so unless you say otherwise I won't hit you with the story.

You are right,I'm too busy this weekend, but if you don't mind waiting until next weekend or the weekend after for comments, then send it along! I'm eager to read it!

For a file this big, Word Tracking might be better than google docs.

That's fine. The story's not going anywhere and I've had some suggestions to flesh out parts so will be doing that tomorrow.

I'll be sending via Word too. Beta reading from gdocs won't be fun I know.

You are a star!

OH BOY!!! And YAY!!! And WOW!

I think that covers the various types of glee. :) Congrats, Terri! That's quite the epic. I can't wait to see how it grew, since the intitial posted snippets are AWESOMENESS SQUARED.

Hee! Yes. Lots of glee.

It needs polishing still, and padding out in parts I suspect, but that shouldn't be too difficult. And now I don't have to worry about not handling big bang :D

I BOUNCED in my chair when I read this!!! I'm looking forward to when it's finalised and polished and I get to read it in all its glory SO MUCH!!! BOB IN SPAAAAAAAACE!!!!!!!

Btw, have you found a title you're satisfied with yet?

From: [identity profile] turps33.livejournal.com
Hee! I'm so thrilled you're excited!

I think the end part needs some work and yeah, a good polish, but that shouldn't take long.

Titles. /o\ I was thinking something like Speed of Sound. But I don't know. I probably love Bob in Spaaaace! too much.

Speed of Sound is a very good title but yeah, it's been Bob in Spaaace! for so long now and it's such a charming title too. *sigh* There's a terrible choice in front of you!

That's SO amazing! Congratulations, Terri! You must feel so accomplished. And now you get to EDIT, which is always so much fun! At least it always is for me. :D

Well, I wouldn't go as far as saying I think editing is fun, but I don't mind it. Especially when it makes a story all shiny when it's done :)

Good luck on your last writing push!

Do you want me to just send a word file? I've taken to saving to word each day anyway.

That's probably best. I should think I'd copy into Word anyway.

Thank you!

I really want to use Bob in Spaaaace! But I keep imagining people going to read expecting some fluffy muppet thing and being faced with a fic including implied n/c, implied torture, death, angst and destruction.

It's perhaps a bit too cheerful. Leave the exclamation marks?

Bob in Spaaace.

It does give it a little more seriousness I must admit.

You know, I may just do that because the name has stuck, and it feels wrong to use something else.
