A Goal Completed!

[arionrhod]

After seven years of writing together, scribbulus_ink and I have fulfilled a goal - completion of our first non-fanfiction novel! We are just waiting to get it back from our betas before submitting it!

Okay, I'm ready to read it now... :D

Hee! Thanks! I just hope we can find a publisher to take it. It WILL be an online one. :D

In some ways I can't believe we finally did it, but we've been writing AU for so long that I guess it just clicked that we COULD. Now to have our egos totally deflated by the publishing establishment... ;)

Good luck with that. :D

The stories you've done together in the past have always been amazing. Hopefully you'll be one of the great luck stories. You both certainly deserve it.

Aw, thanks! We have both loved writing L/S and in a lot of ways it was our mad love of those characters that made it hard to even *want* to strike out on our own. We had to step back and take a deep breath (and not give in to mad Snupin plot bunnies!) before it could happen.

I'm not kidding myself that we're the next JKRs, but we both love telling stories, so hopefully that comes across. It would be awesome to be able to make a living at doing what we love, but I'm not giving up my day job yet. ;)

Although, I have to admit some of the stories I've read in the M/M press market aren't nearly as good as most of that produced by the fanfic writers I know. There are at least a dozen L/S writers who are every bit as talented as the people I've read doing it professionally.

hey wow, that is awesome news! i can't wait to read it either. congrats to you both. ^_^

Thank you! It took us a while to finally admit to ourselves that we were capable of stepping out of our comfort zone and tackling something that was totally ours, but we did it! I just hope it's good enough to get accepted! :D

[arionrhod]

Thanks so much! We will definitely be posted a link if/when it gets accepted. Good publishing thoughts are appreciated. ;)

Heh...do you know I read your post five times trying to figure out what a "non-fiction novel" could possibly be before I realized you'd written non-fanfiction. :)

Anyway!

Congratulations - to both of you!!

[arionrhod]

Hee! Yeah, that must have been a WTF sorta thing. :D Thanks! Hopefully we'll have good news to report before too long. ;)
