Next Part of Michelle's Meteor Memento now on!

aki_zz wrote: about time!

You make it sound like I was behind schedule or something. But honestly, I had this part finished shortly before the workshop deadline (had to finish my entry first, after all), which wouldn't have been good time to post it. Anyway, the next installment probably won't clash with a workshop.

sorry, didn't mean it that way.

no problem

How is the next part coming along? Definitely miss it! Wondering if Fred is going to be talked into trying to liquid?

I have to admit that I haven't written a single word on the next part for a few months now. One of the reasons was the workshop obviously. But even after that was over (at least the writing part) I haven't found the motivation to write a single word. I still have hope that I'll get out of my motivational low soon, knowing that someone actually cares about the story helps a lot. Thanks.

I second the "caring" about the story... it's been a great dozen or so parts so far!

Njae, I am also waiting what will happen next. Hope we can perk up your motivation....

Phew looking back at it this chapter probably had the longest development time of all installments. Most of that time was a simple downtime of mine, though. I hope this won't happen with the next part as well since getting out of a motivational low wasn't exactly fun.

i think you have used the time well for the next chapter. really enjoyed it.

Glad you enjoyed it. One of the biggest challenges in my eyes was to take a break while writing it and then continue from there months later. If possible I'd refrain from repeating such a thing. Insteat I should strike the iron while it's still hot and try to continue with part 13 asap.

Ahh your getting there. I know from personal experience, that when punches start flying it becomes easier to write. I am not sure if this is a story with a set ending or something open ended, but once you get into the battling stage of a super story, things by there nature are quicker.

Its a good story- i will say it was one of the inspirations for Mazing Girl and some of my other stuff.

Well I have to admit that I'm flattered that this little story of mine managed to inspire you in any way.

As for the open ending vs set ending, I haven't fully decided myself. I do have some kind of Big Bad in mind whose defeat could either be the end of the story as it is, or the end of the first chapter for possibly more stories to come. As of right now I'm considering the former alternative.

I am doing a similar pattern for Mazing Girl. The story is building up the confrontation with the big bad-which should dove tail in the next kind of book i am working which changes the narrative considerably.

However you take i am curious and look forward to reading more.

Thank you for the great chapter, I really loved it. It's still my favorite series on the site, and I'm sorry you got stuck in a funk while writing it. Please keep writing, you're great!

I would keep striking while that iron's hot. It's so hard to restart after a lull! I, too, would like to encourage you to keep up this story well beyond a 13th part.

Considering the downtime I had while writing this part, I am intending to end it with the Big Bad. Since I am not as quick a writer as you the story would drag on too long and degrade in quality too quickly. To be honest I look back at some past installments and wonder why the hell I introduced certain plot threads.

Thanks, but just to be clear, I didn't get into a funk because of the story. Actually this unfinished business was one of the anchors I had when in my funk, which is why I intent to finish it sooner rather than later.

Perhaps, if I may suggest, maybe you could develop its own relevant universe? I really like this story as well and would hate to see it all wrap up, but the girls could always move on to bigger and better things!

In my mind the plans for the upcoming chapters may already be grand enough so that the story runs into an own universe from there, but I am unsure about whether there will be further installments there. Just to clarify I won't wrap things up in part 13 already and I expect there to be at the very least 15 parts, maybe even twenty in total.
One of the reasons why I want to wrap things up is that I didn't plan ahead enough and now have some older remains to deal with. Others would be rsther unrelated to the story itself...

Another step towards the end as I just submitted part 13. Given that the editor is very wonky Anon will have to make some adjustments first, but it should be available soon.

And for those who care, the toal amount probably won't reach twenty after all. Right now I'm aiming at 16 or 17 parts with a preference to the former.

Things tend to drop out of the ticker quite quickly. *bump*

nice to see you back in action.

Probably my favorite running story at the moment on the site, loved the latest addition!
Very curious about the climax as well given you plan to end it within the next 3 or 4 chapters .
