current chapter word count: 7280
reason for that: deleted Omi's House Visit of Hell & Meeting the Boss
because... they can be told nicely concise in chapter 17 and 18, without being the bloated, OC-laden monsters they were in 16!
amount of chapter considered done: 98% (including tinkering)
number of scenes to be written: 1 (Tree Talk 2)
number of scenes to be tinkered: 1 (2 if one counts Tree Talk 2)
number of scenes unfinished: 0 (!)
quote of the day: "Get in hand? They won't even listen to me!"
Regarding my earlier post: a lot of my frustration about the Decagram came from the fact that up until now I hadn't found a way to tell this crucial chapter without loading it with OC-focused scenes and I was very concerned that it would get worse, should I continue the plot arch. However, maybe the "I give up"-notion earlier finally freed my head for the necessary changes and I'm now confident to be able to continue the plot without turning it into an OC-fic with Sei/Sub being side-characters. Considering the publicly posted outcry earlier, I'd like to say something about the listed plots:![[insanejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/ij-userinfo.gif)
primera for her spontaneous, supportive reply to my previous post. I felt really depressed when I wrote it and her - and my dear editor's IM response - helped my get over the frustration. Thank you.
I hope to get chapter 16 ready for editing by next weekend. With us luck!

Considering the publicly posted outcry earlier, I'd like to say something about the listed plots:
- I will write the Yue story at some point, because the matter - and his made-up vita - are very fascinating for me. This will not be a fanfic, however, because - probably aside from the Sakura - there will be no TBX-canon characters in it (and the Sakura can hardly be considered such a character in the first place!). At this point, I don't know if it will be beta ed, because OrigFic-betas are hard to come by. :)
- Setsuka's story (and Subaru's parents, though unrelated) will be necessarily revealed in the sequel, so there's no reason to make stories of their own out of them (maybe aside from the occasional short story, that is.)
- Seishiro's earlier life is already a sizey side-story at this point (working title: "Michiko"), albeit an unfinished one, which will likely be finished after FM and before I continue with the sequel. If it continues growing like it does, it might become one of the main stories of the Decagram, just from it's size.
