I plan to finish it at the end of December with the last entry being the day before Fete Week begins. I'm hoping it'll have a happy ending, but I don't know yet. It could all be doom and gloom. sad

I don't think that I will be able to end my diary in December. There will still be lots of years that Ben (Obi-wan) has to wait for Luke to reach the age that they finally get together. So, really, if a diary challenge is done again next year, I may just continue the one that I've been doing this year with Obi-wan and his years on Tatooine.

So, this gave me the idea for a new topic:

Do you plan to finish the Diary in December?
How clear is that end for you already?



Meb's and Asta's diaries will end, as will "Side by Side". Though "Side by Side" will spawn a fic in which I tell the whole story behind the diary, as the diary (ies) it/themselves don't tell the whole story, but just what the diarists (Padme/Angel and Obi-wan/Ben) choose to tell. As for Kavin's diary, like last year, that part of Kavin's journal will be closed and next year I will pick up several years later. I definitely will not be doing multiple diaries next year! laugh

With my crazy schedule, I doubt I'll be able to finish Keri's diary in December. I have a place where I want it to go, I just can't seem to get there yet because Dsrth School bars the way. rolling_eyes silly

edit -- besides, I started mine in February, so I plan to go to at least the end of January. tongue

I have plans to finish the three diaries, one is already very clear, the second one also and the third can continue but at an older stage many years in the future. A new diary can be starting for him.

I don't think I'll make it till December. Unless I start updating at least twice a week. Hm. thinking
I started writing on my update at work today. I was soooooo bored.

How could is that: getting paid to write fanfiction. grin

That's not what she meant.
And I'm doing the same: get paid for writing fanfic. Though I am sure my boss thinks he's paying me for something completely different. whistling
No way I'll ever make it this year. maybe if I updated daily, but only with luck then. I grabbed too big a story. *sigh*

Ohhhhhhh. Now I feel stupid. doh!

Does this mean that I'm paying to write fanfic, since I should be studying right now for my Spanish test this afternoon but instead I spend most of my time writing? thinking

silly

edit -- That's a depressing thought. I'm paying for school, so I might as well go study. tongue

I think so. Though it might go a little bit longer. There is a definite terminating event for mine that they're coming to, though it has not been hinted in the story I've posted so far.

The diary has been fun, but writing-as-you-go is really not my preferred style. I'm still more comfortable writing the whole story before posting.

I'm hoping I can wrap it up by Dec.

I don't know how it will end...um...that's bad, huh? LOL. I have an idea, but my characters sometimes do what they want.

That happens a lot with me, I sometimes have characters doing the exact opposite to what I want. Oh, and I almost never start a fic knowing how it's going to end.

I've had the end kinda planned out since I first started writing this thing. But I have at least 13 entries to go unless I start combining them, so there's probably no way it'll be done by then. doh!
