The change of POV on the werewolf fic has been a good thing. It has also added 8000 words AND I'M NOT DONE YET! Currently editing page 37 of 51, up to 18k and probably will at least break 20k by the time I get the ending on it. I have until Wednesday before I need to submit it. Hopefully will actually be done by then, but if not I think I *will* submit it, with an outline of the missing ending.

*writes like a crazy woman*

Changing the POV makes this *radically* different from the vampire story. The different POV makes this a story about Teal'c, his place in the world, his love for SG-1, his fear of being adrift and alone in the universe, his conflicts about freedom and loyalty and duty. Once I've finished rewriting to fix the POV and finish the plot, I need to do a big rewrite to be sure I do Teal'c real justice as a character. I've been working on it as I go (hence the 8000 additional words), but since I've gone to all this trouble to change POV, I want to try to really do Teal'c well.

It's interesting to do a long piece from Teal'c's POV. This is a first for me. I need to get the family on a big full re-viewing of the series. I'm cold on canon and it would be good to have a refresher. (Am loving listening to the BBC radio dramatization of LOTR with The Barbarian in the car. I realized I had forgotten sword names. I feel I would embarrass myself playing LOTR Trivial Pursuit. Must be time for a rereading! But I digress...)
