Ordinary People, Part Two
In which Ken Hidaka continues to hate his life and want a new fangirl.
Here, finally, is the second chapter of Ordinary People and if you want an explanation for the delay, well, it's not my fault men hate talking about their feelings (especially when one of them's half-conscious in hospital after being brutally... um, assaulted, yes, let's call it that). Looks like all that stuff about not being able to get this fic up and running last time was a portent. Oh well.
Right then. The issue as regards this fanfic and the massive delay between posting the opening and then getting Part Two out into public can be blamed on the envanishment of![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kay_cricketed, who appears to have been eaten alive by an editorial job. Which makes me sad, as I really do miss talking to her; it also has practical consequences such as seeing to it that this fic ended up dead in the water. It's not her fault - far from it - but when I started this fic, I spent a lot of time babbling about it to her over AIM and for better or worse I just got used to having her aiding and abetting, and reassuring me that what I was writing wasn't rubbish... and then work, as I mentioned, ate her alive, and I lost my co-culprit.
End result: without her supporting me in email (well, over AIM, same diff) I ended up losing my way. I no longer had someone to talk things over with, and without that source of support I just didn't really have the drive to push this fic forward any more. Besides, if I wanted to sit down and write soul-crushing Ken-angst, there was more than enough of that to go around in Through a Glass Darkly...
Of course Through a Glass Darkly is over and done with - but my need to torment Ken is not. Hello there Ordinary People. I've missed your hideous embrace.
... now all I need is for the Pit to realize the damn chapter is there.
ETA 09/13, 4:16 AM: Over four hours after first being uploaded and submitted to the site, the new chapter is actually up and viewable. I am never going to try and upload fanfiction to the Pit on a Saturday night ever again.
