update on the story my computer ate

Last night, I redid the outline up to where I had written the story. (Original outline for all five parts plus epilogue was 800 words. This partial outline is about a thousand. And now slightly useless; read on.)

Today (yesterday technically, but I haven't gone to bed yet, so.), I began rewriting the story itself. Two false starts later, I am about 1400 words in (although probably more, because I seem to be fitting at least 250 words on a page).

The story that I lost was about five thousand words long, and in it, the protagonists had met twice and were just barely getting down to the sex they weren't supposed to have until the last part.

In these 1400+ words, the protagonists have met, just as in the vanished story. Unlike in that story, they've only met once so far. And I am now 600+ words into (or probably 2/3 of the way through) a sex scene that is without a doubt the most explicit thing I've ever written that doesn't read like one-sided chatfic.

Currently:

Georgina: is loud. has issues, but not as many as I thought.
Sal: doesn't really know her, but is kinda totally in love with her body.
MJ: turned up his music and is wishing he went to see his girlfriend tonight.
Sofia: wishes her characters would behave.
