Rough Drafts

The thing I am regretting most right now is not being able to go back and change anything and everything in Ultimatum right now. First, it is posted. That means to me it is done until further notice, of which I might redo the entire thing and edit it. Will I ever do that, most likely not. So all the mistakes are going to have live long and strong. Second, you don't edit until you are done. Since I am not done, I can't edit anyways. Moot point. I am just seeing stuff that could have been done better, in many ways. I think I would have toned down Hiei and Kagome's dreams - the tension of possibilty instead of actuality would have been better, I think. Kagome's memories would be adjusted, especially since I've come to realize more and so on. Naraku and Kurama would have to be adjusted. Also, I think I would have to make the team figure things out in a bit of a faster way or something, since everyone is shocked that they are this stupid. I'm afraid I dumbed them down for the story. :( It wasn't intentional, that's for sure.

Also, everyone keeps bringing up instances of stuff that I say have never been attempted!!! The soul insertion! Argh! For the life of me, I don't even remember half of what everyone is talking about. I've never seen the full show of either cartoon. :( I still don't own them all. I'm sort of working on it, just slowly. I guess that would be a problem for all of fanfiction - you have to account for EVERYTHING in the world. That's darn difficult. I want to just go, you know, it's my world. But it's not my world, so I can't really say that. I want to say that it's my story, but these instances help - they help me tighten the story and what not. I dunno what to do. Do you guys think/read around it without difficulty, or does it bug the hell out of you??

That's it for now. I'm totally planning this long blog of all that I would change if I ever finish it. I'm sure I will. I don't, however, think I will ever edit it. That's a lot of work, and honestly, I would want to save it for a book-book. Not something that will never profit me. Also, who's going to go back and reread the whole thing if I post it all edited??

Over and out!\
