The Two


A work-in-progress. The first 500 words for each part tend to be easy to write. But then the hard part is filling in the rest. This fic is taking a lot longer than I ever thought it would. We're at 2 years and counting for some parts.

(If you read parts of this before Dec '05 I've revised all twelve parts at least twice since then.) I seem to be continually tweaking this one. Mostly just minor changes to sentences and word order.

Rating: The first twelve sections/parts(Chapters I and II) are PG-13 for adult themes and a little action (more or less). After that it'll go to R in some spots. It'll be a total of 4 chapters, 6 parts each, (So far - Total: 46,177 words, averaging 3848 words apiece - [Chapter I = 18,652 words] [Chapter 2 = 27,525 words] ).

About section and chapter titles: Until a section is actually finished the title doesn't really mean anything. And even after that it probably still doesn't mean anything. It's just that most fan fiction archives expect each part to have a title of some sort.

    Notes: Definitions for the purposes of this fic
    Outline I know what is going to happen but not enough coherent sentences exist to string together.
    Rough draft incomplete part - more to come - closer to an outline than a complete thought
    First draft The entire part is complete but needs to be revised
    Second draft More or less done but it might change due to the part before or after it changing.
    Posted I've posted it to some public location
    Revised I changed something after I posted it.
