Re: April's Author's Thread Is Bringing Sequelback!

Been feeling sort of strange and nostalgic lately. It just sort of hit me . . .
I started posting 522 on March 1st 2010. I began writing it sometime in 2009. So I've literally been writing this story for nearly four years now. And before that, I wrote the original, 521, which I began posting almost exactly a year before that, March 2nd, 2009. So I actually started brainstorming and writing this AU fic back in 2008. That just seems crazy.
I've spent so much time with these characters, I almost feel like I know them. Is that weird? Is it weird to think like that? I mean, I actually care about what happens to them. I don't know if it's weird.
Anyway, I'm nearing the end of this increasingly long and twisted tale. I really only have a handful of pages left to write. It almost seems surreal that I'll actually be finishing it. I'm glad I will be, and I'm eager to start a new story. But 521/522 have been quite the experience, and it's so strange that I'm almost done with it.
Just felt like posting that. I'm sure other authors might have similar feelings when finishing a fic. It's just . . . hard to put into words, actually.
