fighting the powerful urge to just like. go ahead and post the next chapter. because i am so happy about a scene i've added and like. i know that this fic has a tiny readership but i really love this scene.

#objects in space rewrite #i had actually always intended it to have happened #more or less #but i never considered actually like. writing this scene happening. for some reason i thought i couldn't fit it in to the fic.#although tbh 19-year-old me probably just didn't really know how to write it #same with another scene in the following chapter and another in the next #i just didn't have the experience with storycraft to actually write the scene i wanted #ugh the only downside to this rewrite is that it's going to require a lot of tweaking in the next two books #nothing approaching the depth of this one but there's at least one scene i'll need to change whole-cloth #and some elements of backstory #and i'll have to tweak things so that actions and character development carries through #those will function better as simple edits; the changes aren't *remotely* significant enough to require a new story #i mean this rewrite has been. like i'm thinking i may need a whole extra chapter in addition to everything that's already been added #this one was already the longest of the series and now it is going to be significantly so. like. 30k+ moreso. almost double.#everything in me recoils at such uneven lengths #but this one already had to set up the world and it already had the most plot happening #it would just be padding to add more to the others and that's totally unnecessary #the only changes needed are for continuity's sake and one scene that will realistically need to go in the denoument of this one #and have a slightly altered one during that book #anyway.#i really like the next few chapters. like a lot. i love what i've changed and added.
