I am a terrible person

[lauren3210]

I've just had to ask for an extension for this fic, and I feel so bloody awful about it. I've NEVER had to do this before, other fest mods will attest to this, I'm usually one of the first to hand in my submissions. I really wasn't going to do it, and I typed my fingers to the bone yesterday trying to get it finished, but I just couldn't quite get to the finish line.

However, on the plus side, if I do get granted an extension, I think that yesterday I had a sudden brainstorm on how to make this fic good. I've been struggling with this story, as you guys know by now what with all my whining, but now inspiration has finally hit. So, by the grace of the mods, hopefully I can now hand in something I really feel good about, even if it is a few days late.

Has anyone on my flist had to ask for an extension before? How do you deal with the guilt?

I think what did it was that there were so many fests looking for sign ups and I got so involved looking at all the prompts, that actually sitting down to write kind of passed me by. I've never had that before, I've always just signed up for one fest and then written the story, and I think juggling all these different fests led to me dropping the ball a bit with this one.

But yes, now that I finally know what I'm doing with this story, I should be able to knock it out quite quickly, because I do write quite fast when inspiration hits! Thanks darling <3
