aurora_novarum, you're a star! Your pep talk seems to have done the trick – I'm tentatively hopeful that I might actually finish this story and reclaim my soul bit. And working out the season really did help. Thank you ever so much. You might have saved my sanity. *g* Oh, I held out, but I can resist no longer...

(zomg I got so frustrated yesterday with my apocafic that I ended up writing 500 words of a totally new story for a prompt that is so not the one I'm supposed to be writing. GAH!)
Sorry to hear about the stuff you had to cut out. After the ficathons calm down, you should post them anyway! Start a meme or something..."From the Cutting Room Floor."
You'll get your soul back. Go, Pepper, go!
(Is it wrong that I've found all of our collective apoca-flailings so funny that I want to dig them all up and compile a list?)
You should do that! It'd be a lesson, for anyone thinking of biting off more ficathon than they can chew. *g*
If I can't find anywhere in my story to wedge some of the bits I like that have been abandoned, I definitely want to post them. Some of them. There's nothing wrong with them, per se, they just... didn't go anywhere. Which, I guess, is a major flaw in a story...
I'm totally with you on writing something - anything! - other than This Damn Story. I'm not allowing myself to do that (again), because I could procrastinate forever, that way.
Hee! It'd be like, the Behind The Scenes Bonus edition. The Making (or...not) of Apocalypse_Kree!

You definitely should, especially the parts you're really sad to see go. (See, this is how cool fic memes happen. And then you can get other people to post their cut pieces and we can all ooh and aah at the deleted scenes.)
