Two If By Sea (14/?)
Aug. 10th, 2010 11:37 pmI am continually surprised by how much there is to this story. Fifteen thousand-plus words may not sound like a lot, I suppose, but it sure feels like a lot! And there's so much more to come that I can't really estimate how much longer this story is going to get. Conservatively, I'm thinking...somewhere in the 50k range? For all that the plot is fairly simple, it's taking a long time to write it all out!
I would hope you all know the drill by now, but for anyone just stumbling onto this story, this is a Saiyuki AU, currently hovering in the nebulous territory of PG-13. It goes a little something like this: Mer-Gojyo enters the human world to dispatch an obligation to Hakkai, a task that becomes more and more complicated all the time. Eventual Hakkai/Gojyo/Hakkai stuff, but nothing to warn for at present. I self-beta (and have been doing little more than a spell-check for this story, might I add.) Let me know if something seems completely wrong, please, so I can have a look.
Previous parts found here.
( Part fourteen...come sail away with me? )
I have to say that fight scenes are really, really not my thing. I hope Gojyo doesn't come off as a total wuss. I mean, it's kinda not his fault that he doesn't do much here...Nonetheless, I am somewhat pleased with how this part has turned out, even if it wasn't what I'd expected to come out with when I'd sat down to write. I'm also pleased that I'm at a much better spot to pick up again, now that this scene is out of the way.
