Trope Bingo Fic: "Later"

Hey, who wants some old-school Paine/Nooj angst? Sure you do.

Title: Later
Fandom: FFX-2
Rating: PG (for death/suicide references)
Wordcount: 838
Characters: Nooj (Paine/Nooj)
Notes: Written for the second round of trope_bingo. The tropes used were deathfic and reunions, although it plays pretty loose with the latter. I don't usually warn for character death, but since that's the entire premise of this fic, I'll go ahead and put it out there this time. (I think I owe the world some fluff after this.)

1. Write an average of six days per week. Not even close, for a lot of reasons. My wordcount was way down this month, too.

2. Finish Bethany story for dragonagefanweek. Bethany Fan Week ends tomorrow, but this story got fairly complicated on me, so it might extend beyond that by a few days. Try more like over a week. But I'm happy with how it came out.

3. Finalize and post DABB story. Success!

4. Write and post at least one story for Trope Bingo. Done, if you count 12:30am on September 1st as "this month". :) And it was a Paine/Nooj story, which I haven't done in forever.

5. Get back to the giveaway fic. I made some progress, and got a bit thumbs up on what I've written so far from my giftee. So, good, though I would have liked to do more.

So I hit all the goals, but got way behind on writing time itself. For the last week of August, I have an excuse, but for the rest of the month not so much. I'm still a bit limited on how long I can sit at the computer, because my arms and hands are getting tired faster than usual, so adjusting my September goals accordingly:

1. Write six days every week, wrisomifu-style (at least 10 minutes each day, even if nothing else).

2. More progress on the giveaway fic.

3. Write and post at least one Trope Bingo story.

4. Work on Wardens of Ivalice (I poked at this some last month and am starting to have more ideas again).

Hey LA Area Folks

I know there are some of you out there. I'm going to be down your way soon, on September 22nd and maybe a few days before that. Anyone around? Anyone want to get together? I don't know my exact schedule yet, but I'm probably driving, and I have to leave the morning of Monday, 9/23. Drop me a line if you're interested.
