PRiS -- A Rose By Any Other Name

eirenicalO_o;;; So... I held off temptation for a few months, at least. What can I say? I'm distracted by anything new and shiny... or old and shiny, as the case may be. I managed to submerge myself back into Power Ranger fandom and have been gorging on this wonderfully funny fic by "crazygirl47" on ff.net called Of Love and Bunnies. I've wanted to read this story since I first saw PR Dino Thunder. ^_^ Well, not this story, but this general plotline: what happens when "Dr. O's" new life, collides with "Tommy's" old one? Chaos! And throw in a dash of Kim-tension on the side? And Renee-chan is a happy bunny. ^____^ And these two writers have the funny in the show down to a tee. ^_^ I can only read this fic a few chapters at a time (and there are over 100!) because every few paragraphs or so, I'm laughing so hard my ribs hurt. *g*
So, naturally, it reminded me that way back when, I did start a sequel to "Forget Me Not", called "A Rose by Any Other Name". I had meant it to be the last in this trilogy of fanfics (off shoots, continuations and alterniverses not withstanding ^_^). However... to put where I am in perspective... Forget Me Not was 28269 words. Taking Root was 41729 words. ARBAON is now 30147 words... and I don't even think I'm halfway done. O_o;;; Seriously. We have a lot of angst and reorganization flying around, but the whole point of this fic was to get Andros to actually find Karone... and finish off the rest of the PRiS plot. Now grant you, I'm taking a lot of the plot out of order and context because I rewrote Zhane's awakening, but in equivalent terms... we're at about episode 16 (with episodes 20-22 taking place way earlier in the series) of 43. O_o;;; So, going at this rate, I have another 40000 - 50000 or so words to go before I finish this one off. O_O Suddenly... that seems daunting. So, I'm thinking that I may split this up into two fics instead of leaving it as one, because that's an awful lot of fic to fit into one, well... fic. :-P Maybe I'll take this up to reuniting Andros with Karone, then write a fourth fic to cover the rest of the PRiS series and the aftermath.
Ah... and why am I telling you anyway? It's not like anyone actually reads my PR fics... ^_^
