LOL, Pat.

Actually, the problem with 4 was that I somehow got off track. I had already done what you suggested - added in a little love - and now it's much more like what I had originally planned.

Anyway, I'm giving up on 4 for now.

I had told my BR, Lynn, that I would get Part 4 to her this weekend, but it's not going to happen. (sorry, Lynn!)

Instead, I'm going back to T25 to see if it's ready to post.

Thanks so much for the icebag

Corrina.

I had purposely remained a lurker on this thread, since I had had a feeling that I wouldn't be getting too much sympathy from the rest of the group if I pined for more when I have already had the pleasure of reading several parts ahead of most on the list.

But since Corrina mentioned me:

Hi! My name is Lynn, and I'm a TMTYaholic!

The angel on my one shoulder is telling me to tell you to take your time and take it easy. Fanfic writing should be fun and not be a cause for stress.

The devil on my other shoulder, however, wants to pile on the pressure. Is H4 written yet? No? How about now? Not yet? ... Now?

Seriously, though, much as I would love to see H4 in my mailbox, I'm sure I speak for everyone here when I say that we'd rather you took the time you need to write and re-write the story until it proves satisfactory to you. If we had to choose (XOR, for the computer geeks here) between speed and quality, I'm sure we'd all prefer quality.

You have set the bar exceedingly high for yourself by showing that you can often produce quality writing quickly; sometimes it is easy for us readers to take it for granted that that will always be the case. Such an expectation, as unrealistic as it is, does reflect positively on your ability to come through so often.

And just to tie what I am writing in to our favourite show, this is like all the Metropolitans just naturally assuming that Superman will beat the bad guys every time.

Joy,
Lynn

I do agree that quality before quantity is much better!

(and that Corrina should take her time writing, re-writing, and whatever and be happy before send it the BRs and posting it here).

It is just sad that not all of me agrees with that but I do understand (in theory)!

Michael, who's not sure if they're aimed at Lynn or Corrina...

LOL Michael, ditto!! I am also an addict to this story and I can't help but be totally frustrated by not being able to continue reading the next part. It is my problem not Corrina's. She should take all the time she needs. Even if I become a whiny baby because I have to wait.

Remember ?

I *finally* found the problem in Part 4 - there was a missing scene in Part 2!

*That's* why I keep a buffer.

Thanks for the spiders, Michael. Perhaps they helped

A question for you all - would you like the final three parts of Trail reasonably quickly, then a longer break between T29 and H1? Or would you like the current 2-3 day schedule to continue?

Corrina.

That might depend on the cliffhanger at the end of T29. LOL

I would like the current schedule of 2-3 days between parts as I suspect the bigger gap between T29 and H1 might be a harrowing wait!

Cheers
Elizabeth

Ditto, Elizabeth! Since I am anticipating the mother of all cliffhangers at the end of Trail , I'm going to vote for delayed gratification and a regular posting schedule for the beginning of Highway. Even if the waiting during those 2-3 days kills me.

Kathy

Corrina is going to leave us in a leaky boat miles from shore without a paddle at the end of 29! If she is going to leave us with a good kiss, we won't need food or water to survive. But, if she holds to her usual crumbs, I vote we take it slowly to get to 29 and keep the same schedule up so that the withdrawl of life-sustaining materials won't hurt quite as bad. I, personally, am not able to wait indefinitely for another dose. My tolerance has been completely shattered. I have worn a hole in my "check for another story" button.

Pat

Oh, I think we have have a hole in "check for next story, or rather "check for next part of story" button!

I also agree for the slow build-up to part 29 since I am also expecting the mother of all cliffhangers for P29.

I don't think it would be a good idea to have a long wait between P29 and Highway P1 as our patience would be shot to hell if there is that huge, enormous, gigantic cliffhanger.

I'm with angelsgmaw: if we're going to get a kiss that will help us live through the wait, I'd say go ahead and post Trail as fast as possible .

If there's going to be a big, ol' cliffhanger with no fun whatsoever, then... what the heck, just bring it on . I can live with waiting a little longer for Highway 1

I am with Cristina, why wait if there is nothing good coming just rip it off like a band aid.

This last chapter was the best! I am doing a happy dance!

Oh boy do I agree!!

I've read the past two chapters 4x already. I'm hoping Corinna will take pity on us and post the next chapter quickly!

Uh, can I be your beta too?

I don't think we were this excited to see the arrival of Nightfall in the series! LOL.

Corrina has worked that event into TMTY so perfectly.

Way to go Corrina!

Cheers
Elizabeth

I also don't think we have ever been this excited to see Nightfall before either!

The last chapter was pretty great!

And I think everyone would like to sign up as beta reader just to be able to read ahead!!! If Corrina agrees, I am sure no one will complain and will happily add their "invaluable input" :p

LOL Maybe we need to start a new thread for Beta Readers for Corrina!

Add to the list:

Laura

LOL. You have no idea how many times I have thought that same thing. What I wouldn't give to be Corrina's Beta reader!

Yeah, I have also thought that many times - constantly in fact

If we are adding names to a list, mine should so be on there too!
