annavereSo I went through and updated my old tags to be a little less non-existent perfunctory, and added some explanatory notes to parts of my old Jeremiah Libby quartet. While doing so, I dealt with something which has long bothered me and rewrote chapter four of my own least favorite story, Vantage Point.
Vantage Point
Fandom: Jeremiah
Gen
This also bounced it from 14,376 to 14,720 words.
The changes were mostly minor but (I feel) significant. Back when I wrote it I had a great deal of trouble writing anything which wasn't vaguely depressing, owing to my own state of mind, and thus the gulf between what I intended for Theo and Erin's interactions (and Theo's level of acceptance within the Mountain, at least among non-council people) and what I actually wrote was vast and bothersome ever afterward. But no more!
I added one completely new scene and altered the material to either side to correspond better. The first three chapters still make me happy, and now I have corrected the major finish line failing and Vantage Point is on equal footing with the rest of my stuff going forward, so I'm very pleased.
