Thunderstorms and Tempest: A question for you

I'm ready to tear my hair out, so I figured I'd get some feedback from the ground.

To whoever might be following this fic, just wanted to ask your opinion:

Masters is finally finished (like nearly 3 weeks ago), but it seems like work deadlines have now screamed into the foreground to take its place.  Have started on the next part of TnT, but can't seem to find the chance to seriously sit down to do the writing.  Only the plotline's solidified, and maybe about 1/3 of the actual writing.  So my question is this:

Option A: I post what (little bit) I have written at about 800+ words; it doesn't seem complete to me, and although it stands well enough to be one part, I'm not happy that there isn't much movement of plot.

Option B
: I post only when the part's fully written out; the problem here of course is the uncertainty of when I can get it done up.  Closest estimate will still be another couple of weeks.

So I figure it's best if readers decide?

LOL... Considering first time writing fic, infancy stage's pretty rough-going, but I totally understand what you mean with the one-shots cos the two I've tried my hand in pretty much wrote themselves within an hour or a couple at tops when the idea came.

I love ploughing through the chapters you and Katy write, which was why I was really quite pleased with myself for my Cloud 1 chapter (though only 2000+). Was thinking I'd get too verbose with too little plot movement other than Jun and Sho talking on the phone. Which was why I'd thought to move the plot along more with Cloud 2.

Anyway, thinking of re-organizing the chapter a little so that I can still be happy with what I'm writing. LOL. Since now that Masters over, I really don't feel so pressed for time. Just the nagging irritation in me that I can't get to creative writing when I've got the inspiration to write. On the plus side, however, new plot developments keep revealing themselves to me the longer I take to write, what with all the recent sakumoto moments LOL.

Like when Sho chose to go with Jun's choice over Aiba's suggestion for Giant Crusher... and then Nino's too. LOL... almost back-to-back Sakumoto and Sakumiya moments. You should hasve seen me giggle like a baka alien. *smacks herself*
