This is going to be a long post. I know it's been awhile, journal. I've been pretty busy. With what, you ask?

With this:

Yay, this is so awesome (what a cover!), and I can't wait to be able to buy these! I'm so happy for you! ♥

[rhienelleth]

Thank you! My cover artist is amazing. :) The paperback will be live on March 29th. The ebook is currently available for pre-order, but will download/go live on the same date. :)

AWESOME!!!

I am so excited and happy for you!!!! This is like the coolest news ever. :) You totally deserve it, and I can't wait to hold your actual books in my hands! So freaking cool!!! (Also, daaaaamn, that cover is gorgeous!)

Re: AWESOME!!!

Right? The cover is fantastic. I want to print them out and hang them on my wall, lol. But for now, both covers (this one and the one for Nemesis) reside as my desktop wallpaper.

And thank you! I am pretty excited. :) I'm glad the novella is releasing first, because while I am attached to it, it is nowhere near my level of angst over Nemesis. I will have already gone through this whole book release thing once. Hopefully that will make it easier.

seriously - there was only one other writer at the time writing genuine Sark/Syd that didn't involve ugly rape-fic, and I wish she was still around to be reading this

Actually, rez_lo did. She was the one who got me onto LJ (with her wonderful writing and wonderful conversation). She's not around anymore either - although I suspect she may be lurking sometimes.

I am so happy for you that you went on this huge adventure of writing a book - a series, no less. I hope a lot of people will love it!

I remember rez - her fic was awesome! But when I wrote Illusions, Rach's was literally the only Sark fic online. It populated quickly after that, because people were starting to see the chemistry on the show (once Cypher aired, I think, with the famous "...but my submersible only seats four" scene). It was way before the days of LJ. We were using some other platform I don't remember the name of, and the html was a PITA.

Anyway, not that it matters. Maybe rez was writing it at the same time, and I only saw it later.

I know, everyone is gone. :( I so miss this community sometimes. Facebook is not even close to the same. LJ was awesome.

Thank you so much! I hope so, too. It's both exciting and really intimidating all at the same time. I try to tell myself it is no different than putting my fic out there for people to read.

Oh congratulations!! I always loved all of your stuff, especially your Sydney/Sark stuff.

Just went and pre-ordered it!

[rhienelleth]

Thank you! I really appreciate the support. :) I will admit, it is more nerve wracking putting my own fic out there than fanfic.

[maisfeeka]

I'm very excited to read it! I do miss the old days of livejournal with everyone writing and sharing their stuff. Glad you've kept at it!

And yeah, I'll bet it's more nerve-wracking than posting fanfic!

Best of luck!

Loved it, by the way! Can't wait for more!
