[Poll #1633332]In other news, HAPPY BIRTHDAY samena  and eanelinea77 ! May your days be excellent and filled with visits from the gift fairies and cake pixies!

And if anyone else out there is out of their tiny little minds with overwork: Agatha Christie, complex geometry, red lip gloss and slightly complicated knitting are all decent stopgaps until your brain has time to recover. One week, and I will be off having an adventure with no one expecting me to rescue anyone else's demented prose! If I am tremendously dilligent, I can even get a good lot of writing done and be a step closer to never editing again.

Well, never editing anything not written by friends or interesting fandom people, at any rate ...

I really don't see what the big problem with present tense is. It's a stylistic choice, which may or may not work, but that's true for every other stylistic choice as well. It all really depends on the skill of the writer, not on the choice of a specific tense. I've written plenty of fics in present tense and plenty of fics in past tense, and I don't feel that either is "better", I just choose what feels right to me.
