Posting update

Okay, so I'm less than halfway through with chapter 54 and don't anticipate having it written by the end of the month. Even if that miracle did happen, both of my betas are pushing deadlines on projects of their own right now and I couldn't even think of asking them to wedge the chapter into their schedules.

Soooo...  With only a couple of chapters

Make it easy on yourself and your betas. I only checked your site this morning on a whim because I was about to start the February celebrations for my family blog.

Thank you for writing this long and complicated story. It has been well worth following.

[serendipity_50]

Thank you for your kind encouragement. Sometimes I really need to know it matters to someone besides me so I can keep writing.

LOL..I forgot which chapter we're on! Um...I don't honestly know, but I guess I wouldn't mind if you just finished the story and then post em. I think most of the otherd would rather have you published a chapter at a time (after you finish each chapter) You get hooked on this and you get eager to the end of the month to read it. But I don't mind if you just finish the story first.

I'm so close to the end, I think it might work better to wait, but we'll see how I feel when I get this chapter done. Thanks for sticking with me to the end.

hey :)

Thanks for letting us know...

I don't mind waiting for the chapter but I'd rather you post it when it is done instead of waiting to post the rest--unless the remainder of the chapters in the story is one or two.

I love having my id fix and while I can wait for one or two chapters...I don't want to wait longer if it involves more chapters.

[serendipity_50]

I might just go ahead and post it -- I'll decide when I get it done and get a better feel for how far away the end is. I wouldn't want to cause you any discomfort. ;D

Thanks :) in all honesty, you should do what you want. I'm grateful that you've kept us in the loop so we're not left wondering what is happened to the story.

First off, I have to tell you that I think it's REALLY nice of you to let everyone know. Most authors would just straight up not update and then we'd all be wondering if the story was abandoned or not. So- thank you, that was very courteous. Personally I think you should do whatever is easiest for you. Of course I want the chapters as soon as they come out, because I'm impatient lol, but you're the author and you should do whatever you think is best for the story, easier for you, and what makes writing most enjoyable for you. Writing fanfiction is supposed to be fun, but if you feel pressured to update you won't be having much enjoyment from it. So do whatever, just as long as you never abandon the story lol.

Serendipity really is the nicest ever, isn't she?

How could I not let you know? You've kept me going all this time and it would be quite rude not to keep you in the loop.

No, I won't abandon the story. I made a promise to myself -- and, by extension, to my readers -- when I started it that I wouldn't do that. Although, at the time, I didn't realize I'd still be working on it more than three years later, but I'm committed to the end.

As I said above, I think I'll make a decision when I get this chapter done. If the muse has me revved up, I might just keep going. We'll see.

Thanks!

Since you're asking for our preference, I'd be happy with you waiting until the story is complete. But do whatever is easiest for you, that's the important thing.

[serendipity_50]

Thanks. Now you'll have plenty of time to go back and comment on the last couple of chapters. ;P

[pennylane_4]

LOL, I'm on it! :)
