Things that make me go "Hmm..."

I could very well send OGAM's chapter 54 off to my lovely crack team of beta-readers now.  I could.  I could possibly have it posted by the end of the week.

It's not done yet -- well, not as "done" as I'd like it, but it's at a resting point.  Unfortunately, the "resting point" is one hell-damn of a cliffhanger.  And I hate cliffhangers.  Hate reading them, so I don't write them.

Then again, I haven't updated this story since, what, November?

I'm inclined to hold off until I've written all that I planned to write, because I dislike cliffhangers.  Then again, I dislike not-updating, too.

Decisions, decisions. 

Any opinions?

Cliffhangers create more interest, you know. People are more likely to stick with something if they're waiting for an answer. ;)

That, and being evil is fun, sometimes. >D

ROFLMFAO! Trust me, if they're still reading after 54 chapters, I think they'll prob'ly stick through till the end. Actually, it's the people who are still reading that I'm most afraid of. I'll be in SERIOUS trouble if I don't finish it. Heck, some of them know where I live! Alba has (or used to have) my cell phone number! Evvie has stayed at my house! They have the means to hunt me down!! XD

54?! Eesh.

And yeah, you might have a problem on your hands with that knowing-where-you-live factor. XD

If you haven't read it yet, I strongly recommend that you do. The story is freaking fantastic! It has romance, kick ass characterization, and a plot that will suck you right in like a brand new Hoover on a cleaning spree.

This is coming from a proud rabid fan of OG&M since 2003, so believe me when I tell you that this story is worth every second you put into reading it.

I do love long stories... :\ When time is good to me again, I'll definitely get to it. I've been meaning to for a while, that one and Bump in the Road. Just... meh. Time is meh, meh, and meh x 3,000.

*blush*

Um... thank you?

*blushes more*

I actually think I need to revise/rewrite some of the early chapters, but I won't do that until I've finished the monster. (And, hell, I may even try to sneak it back onto FFN one of these days...)

*looks for Niamh's number on my cell* Ooohhh lookie here... isn't this interesting...

Don't make hurt you! YOU WILL finish this, even if I have to stand behind you holding a bazooka ready to be used. I don't care if is going to take you another 50 more chapters, believe me I don't mind at all, as long as you finish it. *hugs*
