When I Started: I posted the first chapter of this fic July of 2012. I remember being super excited by the idea, and the story was going gangbusters.

How I Lost My Shit: My head got turned by a new-to-me fandom, and all my enthusiasm for my vamp fic bled away. ::grins:: I tried to carry on, but the words just dried up. My final update was August of 2013, and this fic has been hanging over my head like a black cloud ever since. This is why I try to never post WIPs anymore.

How I Finished My Shit Last year (I think) I was complaining to a friend of mine about this fic and how I wished I could finish it. She said I may as well consider it abandoned. Challenge accepted! I managed to scratch out another chapter, and then stalled again. When WIP BB came around this year again, I was determined to finally finish this thing. And it was even harder than I expected it to be. I finished the final chapter mere days before posting. Whew!
