Why you should always sleep on it....

[sid]

It's way too early in the morning! I have a lot of sleep to catch up on. But, anyway...
I went to bed last night, too tired to try to finish up Part Four, even though there is only one scene left to write. I didn't have an approach worked out, and my brain was too tired to come up with one.
I woke up just over an hour ago, and realized that I still didn't have an approach in mind. And then my half-awake brain came up with an idea that is So Perfect that I can hardly believe it.

Now I just have to wake up a little bit more, and try to write it in such a way that I can retain some of that wonderful sense of symmetry and closure. I've been getting such great feedback from people on the entire series, that I would hate for the ending to be anti-climactic. *haha*

I just thought of something, are you going to reedit the whole thing before you archive or are the first bits done done done?

Only it occurs to me that 'Daniel had been up to something' several times, and even though it's the approach that was troubling you, you probably want to avoid outright repetition. And Daniel taking care of things, setting stuff up without Jack having to think about it ought to be hot... (Totally think it has been, btw. and the symmetry? FANTASTIC.)

Are you going to post here? Or at least post links to the archives? *bounces*

I've decided I like the fact that Jack can read Daniel so well, and Daniel doesn't have any clue how transparent he's being. I don't think I used it more than two times, and I did say "again" the 2nd time, LOL.
Unless I used it in the earlier stories and don't remember? *is old* :-)

Oh, that's fantastic. Listen, if you want to post these in your LJ you'll probably get more f/b as LJers are marvelous about that kind of thing. Happy to help with coding if you like, but here's how to do an LJ cut:

all coding for LJ goes in pointy brackets

<lj-cut text="words people will click on"BRACKET TEXT TEXT TEXT under cut </lj-cutBRACKET Anything else you want to do I'll email so I don't have to purposely mess with the coding brackets. *g*

*twwwwpt* It hid everything I put in brackets, even though I was deliberately trying to mess it up, dood! I'll email you if you're interested.

Yes, I do want to post the entire series here. Somehow! And then all my friends must be sure to pimp me, so that people actually FIND me.

Would I do that to you? C'mon, where's the faith? *g*

Actually, beyond friends/pimps, you should post the header and a link to a community or two. I'd suggest jackslashdaniel or stargateslash.

Well, okey-dokey. As soon as I figure out what you're talking about *scratches head*
"Find communities" is my to-do list for tomorrow, LOL!
