How sad that I didn't see this until now. Such is the nature of things when I don't check SPPf for such extended periods of time. Thanks for the message anyway. I miss LC so much it's unbelievable. I miss the forum life in general, actually. Sadly, 2008 had to end up giving me a real life (lol, not that one can't have both ^^; ), but I seem to fail at finding time for fic writing.
Course, I know perfectly well that when I'm not at class or hanging out with my group of friends, that I'm usually just wasting time making competitive teams on my Pokemon games. =P That'd probably be the case even if I hadn't hit a major roadblock in the plot. That's why I never formally gave up on LC. I held onto the hope that I'd get past that roadblock one day. I think back to how long it took me to sort through the utter mess of Chapter 18 and the fact that it worked out.
The plot ended up twisting in on itself. By skipping the year of Jade's training, I puzzled over how to properly work in elements of the character development that would have happened during that time. The League arc became too episodic. Team Rocket's actions in the future Chapter 27-ish made little sense and then afterwards I needed the Resistance to make some sort of move, but my only ideas were even more stupid. Strangely enough, just last week I considered moving the events of one chapter, which was sort of out-of-place, to a later position, would in theory would fix some things but...
Haha...yeah, I always get like this whenever anyone asks me about LC. ^^; The drive is still there, it's just been shoved to the side by everything. And hilariously enough, I just now, while thinking on rearranging events, thought up an excellent arc to take place after the League. It still doesn't fix some other problems that occur later, but new ideas are always nice.
But anyways...I do indeed hope that one day I'll be able to sort my time together and return to the forums, and to LC.
