as someone who has a few stories that never got finished before they were jossed, and a few that i finished regardless, I say, do what feels most comfortable as far as getting it posted--if you want to. Don't push yourself.

I also want to say that I loved Drow, and I'd very much love to see more of it. Always made me smile. *snugs* So I'd love to see you finish it.

But I think the most important reason to finish it is because *you* want to. And not for any other reason.

I do want to finish it. I'm stuck on the how right now. I know that the easiest thing would be to just post a summary. But, I also want to know what could be the best for the reader.

I think, as a reader, I'll probably enjoy it whatever you do.

As a writer? I would say don't tackle too much. Look at it realistically and try to figure out what you feel up to managing, and see if you can fit it to that.

Do you have a beta-reader for it? I've found for the long stuff, that helps keep me on track, because then they help me over the tough stuff, and they ask when the next bit is going to be finished, etc.

I wouldn't tackle rewriting the first two unless you *really* feel up to it, because that's a lot more work than it might seem at first.

Really good point re tackling a rewrite of the first two. I think at one point I wanted it to align to my current writing level, but I think I'll leave it as is.

And um, if you have time/interest, I'd love it if you could beta the new parts for me.

I've found that the longer I wait to rewrite something, the more difficult it is to rewrite.

I'd love to, with the codicil that my life is kind of up in the air right now. I'm hoping I won't have to disappear, but I will do my best to warn if that happens, okay? Do you have my email?
