A random spate of thoughts before I dive back into editing:

Does anyone know of any alternate history books (novels) where the South didn't lose the Civil War and, instead, the CSA and USA exist side by side? I don't really want something where the CSA took over the entire US; just something where America was split internally into two separate countries. I'm rewatching the old North and South miniseries (not the BBC one, the Patrick Swayze one) and (my issues with it aside) I'm really intrigued by that notion and what stories would come out of it. But I have no idea if any stories like that exist or where to find them, if they do.

There's posts in meta_lj and announcements about a security breach on LJ from embedded media. Some/Most embedded media has been disabled. Other LJ clones and/or forks like DW have not been affected.

Writerly Neuroses: So, the way I have AKB plotted out, there should be about 75 chapters total. I haven't announced that anywhere or posted that on the story because I wanted to give myself the leeway to fudge, if it became obvious that another chapter was needed (which has happened often in this particular story). At the same time, I find myself really LOATHE to add more chapters, because 75 is such a nice round number and I'm OCD enough to not want to end on "an ODD number" (horrors!) like 76 or 78. *facepalms* This is not productive.

Okay, back to the grindstone.
