I am SO EXCITED for this, SOOOOOO EXCIIIIIIITED. I am one of those people who read a little bit of the early chapters but have hard time handling the kinkmeme format, and by that time you were announcing that you were revising and would repost it. So I waited, and got all anticipatory every time you'd give us an update on your journal.
Also, I don't even know you, but I want to say that I'm really proud of you for doing this, and forging forward through all the pitfalls of insecurity and fear and intimidation and even jealousy. I'm thankful every single day that you writers are out there daring to share your amazing imaginations with us.
GOD, I KNOW. THE KM FORMAT IS DESIGNED TO KEEP YOU FROM READING THE KM.
I HOPE IT IS WORTH THE WAIT.
thank you so much for saying that! I will take all the encouragement I can get, because I swing wildly back and forth between pleased/self-satisfied and whimpering with anxiety. (Oh anxiety, you are the bane of my existence.) I had NO IDEA how many mental roadblocks I would throw up for myself! That was almost harder than writing. (Actually, it WAS harder. Writing is a joy.) But if no one ever shared what they wrote, fanfic would be a cold, barren wasteland. :D
I agree with the ones who've said there'll be plenty of people interested in this, especially learning that there's more in it than the original (which was so, so moving and satisfying. I even liked the tentacles - have no idea how you're weaving that bit in but it's got to be there, yes?).
I have no idea how to send you useful money (£) but at the moment will settle for pdf until someone cleverer comes along (I do have a paypal account if that's any use?).
i have learned ALL SORTS of things in the past 24 hours! For example: apparently you can send money via PayPal! Pounds to dollars! I am not asking, of course :D but frankly if you want to throw in for shipping I'd be delighted. Shipping within the US is pretty cheap. But I had forgotten the Power of the Internet, and apparently not everyone on my flist livesin Seattle like I do?
HUH.
I should have the pdf in a couple of days (ugh, last minute changes had to happen because the book-printer's computer pitched a fit over one of the fonts), so as soon as I get it, I will wing it your way, with more info on the book too. For now, enjoy motetus' artwork! IS PORNY.
*hugs* it is perfectly delightful. it has no more technical flaws than any other work, published or otherwise, and no one is going to boycott it over an out of place italic. no one has a mature response when it comes to their own writing, lol.
Will PM you re: shipping and all that. Would love a copy but want to pay for the cost. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAY TO COME. SO EXCITED! AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE TWEETED TODAY THAT THIS IS ARGUABLY THE BEST FIC EVER WRITTEN.
OMG. I FEEL YOU SO HARD ON YOUR WRITING THINGS. I get all EMO about writing, that others write quality fic so very QUICKLY whereas I plod away writing 200 words an hour, if I'm lucky. I'm intimidated by All The Writing and fear that if I don't write enough lovely fic quickly enough, I'll just be forgotten. I certainly hope that's not the case. Blah enough about my insecurities.
I CAN HARDLY WAIT FOR THIS. HARDLY WAIT FOR ALL YOUR WORDS!
OH, I COULD TALK ABOUT INSECURITIES ALL DAY LONG. Unfortunately, a somewhat-vicious, lifelong struggle with various anxiety disorders has proved TRICKY AT TIMES. Haha, some time I might write about the quarter in which I was scared of the door to my bedroom, because that's where I hung up my purse, which had my cell phone in it, and I hated being on the phone so much because I didn't know how to end a phone call comfortably, and so I was scared of the phone and the purse and the door. OH GOD. I DRANK A LOT BACK THEN.
Copies should be ready in a week. Early Xmas pressy!
IT WAS TWO VERY LOVELY, LOVELY PEOPLE. THEY BOTH REPLIED TO THIS THREAD. THAT IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT.
*IS A FRAGILE, INSECURE FLOWER* I've struggled with anxiety as well. I'm still aflutter about going back to work and not knowing what the hell I'm doing and I try not to show my fear as THE KIDS CAN SMELL IT ON YOU AND THEY WILL TEAR YOU APART IF THEY DO. So I am trying to lesson plan but... blah. It's not going well. I've always had anxiety about going to school WHY DID I BECOME A TEACHER *wibbles* I'm much better at the dealing-with-teens-and-their-emotions part than the actual teaching, LOL! /ramble
YAYAYAY I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO READ! *jumps up and down*
why does anxiety suck so much? And why will it never leave us alone? It's weird, in a way... nursing school makes most people hypochondriacs, but I was already such a hypochondriac (some time I shall be drunk and tell you the take of how I thought I had nipple cancer. I was SEVEN.) that I actually passed through hypochondria and came out the other side. Or something.
Also, meds. YAY MEDS. ME PANIC LESS WITH MEDS.
and yes, kids will know if you are scared, and they will turn into vicious little giggle monsters JUST LIKE THAT.
WATCH YOUR BACK, BB. THREATEN THEM WITH PIX OF YOUR SPLEEN OR SOMETHING.
