DOWN!!!! Write! We want Chapter 23!!! YESTERDAY!!!!
*raises hand* I second the notion.
*snork* UH, HEE.
your motion has been registered? XD
I PROMISE I'M WORKING ON IT! I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON IT THIS MORNING only now I have to go help my father buy my mother's birthday present from him. (Her birthday is tomorrow. .....I come by my procrastination skills naturally?)
Work faster!! At this rate, I'm going to have my whole new fic up by the time you finish chapter 23, you realise this, right?
I am holing up in my room and switching the internet off. Okay? XD
(.........Mils, this November 7th will be PY's 7TH BIRTHDAY. HOWWHUTWHOOPS. I mean I know I stopped writing for a couple of years in there but HOW???)

Good girl. You do that. though I'm not necessarily one to talk. I forgot to grab the file of my fic before leaving the office for the weekend. Guess I'll come back to Umi and Clef tip-toing around on Monday.

Life, my dear. You've been living it. I think it has been as long since I started Try To Wish, if not longer. Perhaps I should work on that one some. I was planning to rewrite what I'd written of the next chapter anyway, because I didn't like how I'd set it up.... Skipping ahead years is hard.
Glad you are putting effort into it, down....
Let's just say this fic is HALF MY AGE. Just pointing that out.
AAAAAAAAAAH that's....
Don't know if I feel very very
stubborn determined or very very old. XD (IT'S STILL ONLY SIX. ....BY A FEW WEEKS, ADMITTEDLY, BUT IT'S STILL ONLY SIX!)

ooooooooh, yes, more Try to wish would be shiny AWESOME.

I agree, it's just difficult to get it back up and going again. *pokes TTW*
You guys aren't old... I'm just the fandom baby. I'm only 14 so... Yeah...
I was about that age when I first found manga/rayearth, so!
it's just, uh, that was over a decade ago now
(......unsurprisingly, considering I've been writing this ONE THING for SEVEN YEARS OF IT aohsdgdg)
Yeah, I was about the same age when I discovered MKR. I then discovered fic a bit later, and loved reading Suz's fics (truth, Suz).

MY FINGERTIPS ARE TURNING BLUE I'm bleeding my radiator (AGAIN. Our heating's borked.) and I can just about read the boards while doing so, but fic is a bit much. I won't notice when water starts coming out until it scalds me. XD
I will assume I actually understood that, as I have never had a radiator in my life, but the concept is not lost on me.
Good luck.
Then WRITE!!!
Speaking of new chapters, how's 23 coming along?
We're all still waiting with baited breath.
My lunch break says 2/3rds of the way there! (also my beta is off next week! ....I don't even get a WEEKEND but nevermind)
(also psst 'bated breath' - bate same as in abate XD)
(abate is a good word~)
it is, however, NOT going to get anywhere tonight because I have music theory and also a plan of babying my wrist because it's getting beyond twinging (too much data entry at work this week >.<)
.......hence also I am chat!banned tonight. ^^;;;;;;;
and should flee the boards XD
2/3rds is good. I suppose I can wait impatiently a bit longer, even if it is torturous.

Yes, sounds like a good plan. Go flee. I'll miss talking to you today, but we definitely don't want troublesome joints getting in the way of excellent fic. We did have you pretty busy typing yesterday, though. With all the translations.

Just because I studied grammar and composition for years doesn't mean I can keep my homophones straight. I can't even spell. You should know this by now. I even drop words and turn Umi into a hermaphrodite.
DOOOOOOWWWWNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel like I should be threatening to pull the car over...
(got so distracted by them this afternoon that a) have not done music theory and b) almost forgot to put any washing on which means I nearly had NO WORK TROUSERS FOR TOMORROW AND THE REST OF THE WEEK. XD )
LOL. I can't believe there's an actual thread for this.

Well, believe it.... We all needed this thread to compile all of the poking that we give down.
DOWN!!!!! *Flails* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IS IT DONE YET?!!!!!!
Believe ME, this is not the sum total of the poking they're doing. XD
(Eh, the existence of this thread helps me feel like there are people who INEXPLICABLY want to read more of this THING when I am IN DESPAIR AT IT WHY DID I START THIS ARGH)
IT IS NEARLY DONE WELL THIS CHAPTER ANYWAY OH DEAR I AM RETHINKING THE SANITY OF THIS ENDING, UM, POINT, OH WELL.

Protecting You: Chapter Twenty Three: Out Of (Your) Mind (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2697043/23/)
*collapses*
FOR THE RECORD, CLEF IS A PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN uuuuuuuuuuugh
now... now onwards!
Chapter twenty four: WHY IS THIS FIC NOT FINISHED YETTTTTT XD
So...... you're working on chapter 24, right?
I was in the bath when I got the notification for the next chapter XD
Water everywhere.
But anyway: ICANTBELIEVESHEFINALLYUPDATED.OMYGOSHTHATWASGREATANDCLEMIFEELSANDJUST~FLAIL~
heh...
I am going to read the shit out of your fic after next Tuesday because I don't remember what chapter I left off since it was THAT long ago *glare* jkjk but seriously I'm afraid once I start I'll waste hours on it BUT I REALLY WANT TO READ IT BUT ALAS REAL LIFE PRIORITIES :(
I say since...yunnno I wont get around to reading it for a week or so...that'll give you a week's head start you GET THE NEXT CHAPTER FINISHED so I can read it all at once *pressures*
*giggles* a) I feel the need to apologise for the earlier chapters SO MUCH whenever someone says they're about to read them so SORRY! and b) AHAHAHA this is not going to be the last chapter by any stretch of the imagination...... it's quite an important one, though? XD
So? How's Chapter 24 going?
AHAHAHAHAHA ask me after yuletide
............and after I have written this meeting the parents fic for you, dear. :D
Quote from: Down on December 21, 2012, 11:37:08 PM

The very idea of this one makes me squeal in glee.
It's been about six months, Down. How is chapter 24 coming along?
Yes, I wonder as well.... I'd assume your almost done?
Having already read all that existed in May, and knowing where the trouble lies.... I wonder this too.
She supposed to be taking it with her when she leaves on holiday this weekend, but I don?t know if that actually happened. *stare at her wife across the ocean and the internet*
Clef needs to just get a grip and accept the situation. That?s all I can say.
And Down needs to beat him senseless until he does so the scene can be finished.
I WANT MY RESOLUTION, DAMNIT!!!
Brief pause to choke because MILS YOUR ICON
I can confirm that I have indeed arrived safe in Wales WITH chapter 24 and will HOPEFULLY have something coherent by the end of the week (this is my plaaaaaaaaan). Plus ALL the notebooks, because, well, if I can get through 24 then I want to roll through as much of 25 as possible? It's about 5k in now, though the temptation to throw all of it out and have Clef just flail into the bathroom and lock himself in there is getting stronger XDDDD
The work's laptop is at home because bringing confidential stuff to a shared house which other people have the key for = ahahah nope no way, so I can't even work! AND TUMBLR IS BLOCKED. AS IS DREAMWIDTH. So at this rate I'm not going to be able to use my usual methods of procrastination XDD. Just flute practise and writing! I didn't even bring any markers or paints. (...Pencils, okay, but only one little sketchbook...)
(I should never have made that comment about not getting any new jobs during this chapter. *whimper* TWO OF THEM. And I'm now apparently in control of a software upgrade to one of our systems at the same time! (Because I can translate tech to boss, and boss to tech XD) THIS WAS NOT THE PLAN. BUT a week clear I SHOULD GET MY BRAIN BACK FOR A WHILE :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD)
(Clef needs to accept it without being SO WORDY and trying not to think about what he's thinking about because, seriously, sir, my head hurtsssssssssss)
(Cannot whinge on tumblr SORRY FORUM)
Clef, DARLING, you are NOT ALLOWED to have those two paragraphs next to each other, they read like a contradiction! *headdesk* Why is your attitude to power SO TANGLED AND MESSY.
Just - can we chop the earlier bit out and shift it elsewhere? OR JUST CUT IT. Are you REALLY THINKING about the sodding CONFERENCE right then??? THINK BIGGER I WANT THE CEPHIRO POINT TO BE CLEAR IT'S IMPORTANT. AND I CAN'T PUT BELLS IN IT RIGHT THEN. XD
(also, I don't caaaaaaaare whatever I decided before, I'm putting the new-style titles in from now because I need to reference Atenza as Teru XP)
*amused by Clef's occasionally falling back on 'Guru' instead of 'Master Mage', heh, have just realised this is a change-point on that one as well, though Burden is more of a conscious change on it, kekekekkekekekekekekekekeke~*

So is there any hope of Protecting You being updated before it reaches a full year since the last update?

Curious about this myself.
Did Chapter 24 actually shake loose at all after our holiday?

AHAHAHAHAHA I updated on the 1st December last year, so that opportunity has FLOWN. *CRIEEEEEEEEES*
HOWEVER I AM DETERMINED TO GET SOMETHING UP BEFORE THE END OF 2013.
such a subtle question, dear XDD. but, er, yes?

Before the end of the year is good.... even better if the next update takes less than a year to get through.
subtle? when do we do subtle?
So how is Chapter 24 coming?
I'll take at least part of the blame for chapter 24. I've been a bit distracting.....
But it needs to be FINISHED!!!! DOWN!!!!!
YOU MADE ME LIVE MY OWN VERSION also I am laughing at you calling me your wife up-thread, dear, just so you know.
STILL WORKING ON IT. STILL FIGHTING CLEF. *headdesks*

Well, the term might be very true in a few months, making it's previous use all the more amusing. Accidental foreshadowing? (Might've had to go back and reread because I couldn't remember using it, also found when I changed my icon to the current one....)

Darling....
Sunshine.....
Love of my life......
Is it EVER going to be finished?
WE NEED TO ORDER MY DRATTED KEYBOARD.
.........There are a handful of handwritten sections on the table in front of us RIGHT NOW, darling. You could help by typing them up! ...IF you could read my writing. AHAHHAHAAAAAAAAA *HEADDESK*
*whimpers*
This thread needs some poking. I want to see not only the official end of Protecting You, but the Office AU is glorious, and more of basically all the other Umi/Clef nonsense you have going tha tI have read.
OH! Meet the Parents too!! I want to read that in a proper fic! (Maybe you could do it for Umi week?)
